Awake, pt. 3

When I met with my therapist last week one of the things we talked about was waking up after 2 or 3 hours and not being able to get back to sleep because I couldn't turn my mind off.   She spoke of recent studies that have shown America seems to be practically alone in its obsession with getting a "full night's sleep." 8 hours of sleep in a single, continuous slog doesn't seem to be the norm. Now, I'm not troubled that it is 0400 and I'm writing this instead of lying in bed trying to get my mi

Half an hour to breakfast

Okay, I'm on a schedule. The mood stabilizer is supposed to be taken 12 hours apart. And, no, I am not keeping a diary. I know I should, but I'm not. I'm not that kind of person.   I've written two previous entries this week. Unfortunately, one is somewhere in GAland hiding under for barren patch of memory because I clicked when I shouldn't and the other because, well, I just didn't feel like posting it, some entries are simply not meant to live.   I'm back in therapy and my counselor is for

I'M the f**ked up one here! B*tch, know your place!

. . . sorry. When I get angry I get all . . . ghetto. Sorry. And let me back up.   My friend Jonathan (the one who recently broke up with his boyfriend, moved out of his parents place and into mine and whose cousin recently died) is going a little nutty. Nutty meaning depressed. And stressed. And, well . . . let me explain something about Jonathan. Now this might not be very nice to say, but I don't count him as a friend. More someone I hang with to not be lonely. But I know he counts me as o

Insurance agent? It does sound interesting...

Well, I've been trying to decide what I really want to do with my life. Recently, the thought occurred to me. Attaining a Life and Health Insurance license in Texas is something I need to look into. I am good at talking to people, and I love helping people. People need life insurance, and I believe I am capable of providing them with what they need. Here's the best part. I don't actually have to have a degree, yet an insurance agent can make $100,000 or more a year, and insurance is one industry

Sun of God or Son of God? Part II

As it turns out, there are many similarities between Horus and Jesus. For examply, both were born to Virgins. Mary, or Miriam, was the mother of Jesus. She was a virgin according to scriptures, and this may have something to do with Virgo, the water bearer. Similarly, Horus was the son of Isis, an Egyptian godess who also was said to be a virgin. Both were said to be divinely the sons of gods. Horus was the son of Osiris, and Jesus was the son of Yehova in the form of The Holy Spirit. Both were

Sun of God or Son of God? Part I

Now, I'm not one to bash religion as a general rule, but this video brings up some interesting thoughts. I just might research the "facts" represented in this video. I will let you all know what I find out.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aW2N46vf4Q&NR=1

I sure know how to kill an evening...

Well, I don't suppose that's true. Very often I seem to be able to liven them up. Tonight though I definitely killed it.   I went out to dinner with Scott and Brian then we went for coffee (btw, hottest guy in the WORLD, working behind that counter! ). Anyway, we usually have fairly serious discussions, which is one of the things I enjoy most about hanging out with them. We discuss philosophy, death, politics, religion (ad nauseum), and pretty much anything else.   Anyway, last night

Blogging without blogging

It seems that very often when I sit down to write a blog entry I write a really long, open, honest one...then I decide I should post it in my private journal instead.   Just did that actually. I really enjoyed writing it, and perhaps in a few months or years I'll enjoy reading it again. I didn't post it not because it was particularly personal, just because it was so long, so self-involved.   I mean blogs are supposed to be self-involved aren't they? Or at least I would assume that it's

Mixed Bag and Breaking Mountains...

I hate not getting a straight answer.   So there was a meeting on Wednesday, has to do with my future to some degree. You see I have been getting the mail for the business the last few days and there have been a few notices from the pay-phone company we deal with, which basically say: "Hey, we've noticed that you have opened an escrow account, please inform the new owner that we have a contract with you, and the new contract will be binding for them as well!" Okay so there is an es

Vampires and Weight Loss

I've been seeing this guy, Kevin, for the past few days. Well, basically I met him about four days ago and have slept at his apartment (with my undies still on, might I add) each night since.   I went to the restaurant on campus by the library because my friend girl-Jamie (she's girl-Jamie and I'm boy-Jamie because we're name-mates) because she wanted Marti and I to go with her to meet people and get foodz. I got there and I saw Kevin, and I immediately thought "Jesus, he's adorable. Not

Can't get ahead

Okay, so I dropped my classes so I could move to Texas, and now they want like a ton of money, money I don't really have. Why does it seem that the whole world is out to get me? All I want is to get back into class and finish my college education. I guess it's just not in the cards for me.

Awake, pt. 2

Went to the shrink yesterday and had a good visit. On past visits it's been "Hi, how're you doin'?", "Feelin' well?", "Okay, I'll see you in two months."   This time we seriously discussed me being severely depressed and he seemed to be listening. He suggested changes in the antidepressant I'm taking since the Celexa doesn't seem to be working as well as it should. His first suggestion was Zoloft. Second, he asked if I wanted to go back to Prozac, which worked fairly well. Unfortunately, I cou

Cloudy Days in Paradise

I love cloudy days. I've always loved them. I think I like the mood it creates, slightly sad, slightly thoughtful, and it gives you a chance to think. On sunny says, people want to be happy and smile and all that blah, blah crap. Today it was on and off cloudy. I bought some groceries and coffee and sat outside, people watching. It's rather fun. I never understood why my dad would sit for hours in Taipain or Fay Da in Chinatown just sipping coffee and watching people. But it's really fun and you

Spicy taco....

So, yeah entry number two, because Im mad bored like this and I found this story particularly entertaining.   So my sister has (had? its hard to keep up some days) a crush on a guy that works down the way. I find him particularly Goober-ish... He even has a a shirt with sushi on it, and covets a shower curtain painted with large vestiges of the fishy entr

Forcibly domesticated...

Before we go there, YES I am house broken, and alright, I have been "domesticated" for awhile it was just a catchy title and sums up what I spent the weekend doing rather nicely.   Perhaps I should explain...   Lately I haven't had much time between work school and trying to be social on some levels. Unfortunately for my bedroom, it has taken the brunt of my procrastination. The problem only compounded it self when you add in 3 semesters worth of school papers and books. Compound all that w

I miss being rude

Or so I accidentally said in a text this afternoon.   I was hanging out at our favourite cafe with Scott and Brian today when I got a text from John. He moved away to Connecticut a couple of weeks ago and it was basically a "hey, what are you up to" text. So I responded saying where we were and he said "Aww, I miss going there." Now I meant to respond with "I miss being here with you." Unfortunately, I suck at texting/typing/reading and talking/listening so I was saying to Scott and Bri

Sweet and Sour Pork

For a good thirty years, it was a tradition for my sisters and me to take our mother to lunch for her birthday every February. We would go to the same Chinese restaurant that my family had all patronized for years. The owner and wait staff knew us by name. The four of us would always spend time looking over the menu, asking each other what they were planning to order. It was a major production each and every time as the menu was extensive. The head waiter would smile and wait patiently for our

First time driving in Dallas

Today I went on an adventure. Before I left Kansas, my cousin wrecked my car. The car was a total loss, and I had to get another one. I found a car. However, in order to get there, we had to go north of Dallas. In fact it was the next town, Carrollton. I ended up buying a 1996 Buick LeSabre, and I love it! I did not drive to Dallas, but I did drive back to Waxahachie. I was nervous. The largest city I had driven in was Kansas City, Missouri. Just to put it into prospective, Dallas has a populati
