D Train! D Train!

I don’t have that much time so I’m going to blast away and write about yesterday without much thought and see how that works out. If it’s short it’s short. I have therapy on Fridays at 2:45; I usually schedule my psychiatrist appointments immediately afterward but that means I’m often rushed going to whatever my […]

Some of My Best Friends are Bigots

I’m going to write about values and ideals that I’ve had since childhood and this album evokes them, Dar evokes them, Falcon Ridge evokes them. I’m addressing this to the people I love that share my love of the album, the artist, and the festival, and share those values, but whose blind spots I see. I’m not saying that they, or should I say, you, have blind spots. That’s pointless, we all have blind spots. I’m in the passenger seat adjusting the side view mirror for you. You’d do the same for me.

You Realize This Means Wins Above Replacement

Last night I went to the Met game. … I said before that Alan’s mind works differently than mine. That helped shape the rest of what I’m going to write about, the way I understand, and have always understood baseball.

Sophie is Choice

I’m the guy that goes out every night to hear music. That’s the first thing people think of me. I’m the guy with scores of friends, my therapist is amazed. I think she’s just surprised that anyone would even talk to me. No, I’m not running myself down, that’s a joke son, just a joke. Yesterday was the 19th and the last time I went out or saw a friend in person was the 7th. I didn’t even have a conversation with anyone till the night before. The only thing I needed my voice for was talking to Google. Last night I made my way to the far end of the desert.

L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N

The Prozac is making such a difference. I created the On Your Radar event, contacted WFUV about promoting it, and even talked to the Hudson West Festival. I had totally frozen on that. I’m coming back to functionality. I’m even cooking better. Last night I had leftover barbecue country style ribs and made roasted potatoes with parmesan cheese. I haven’t done that in months. I’m feeling almost human.

Gender Equality in the Budgiedome

As I was starting to write this I got an inspiration for another entry. I’m going to pull an audible and save the planned entry for another day. It’s not at all time dependent. Today’s WFUV question of the day was; “Yesterday we lost the great Aretha Franklin at the age of 76. Among the […]

Music is My Master

I didn’t leave the house yesterday. I might not leave today; yet I feel my mental health is improving. Perhaps the Prozac helps, maybe it’s just seeing both my therapist and my psychiatrist. It could just be time. In any even I was able to edit photos yesterday. That’s a start, I have some more difficult things to do but it’s something. The pictures are pretty good.
