Since I don't have children, it follows that I don't have grandchildren so I won't sit around when I'm old telling my war stories to anyone who will listen. That's what blogs are for. No one has to listen, and in fact no one is really reading this continuing saga but...
Warning. This blog was voice transcribed from the bathroom after feeding but I don't have my teeth in so I noticed a lot of errors. I should probably go and edit it manually but I'm pretty sure I won't. Not much has changed over the past while. The rooster still tries...
I remember visually where I was standing when I first heard the CBC Radio announcer describing this piece of music he was about to play. It wasn't so much music like a song, but a tone. Somebody had invented, or discovered this tone that sounded like it was rising...
When I heard two voices outside my window at night, I created their story in my head, and these were scary people that tracked me down from the webcams that have my address and telephone number. I so much want to do the webcams but there are too many people who choose...
I'm not really a sexual person, and I'm a little upset about that. It hasn't been that bad really. I only really started thinking about it since I started doing more drugs, and hanging out in Second Life. Pre 50 Jeff was still struggling with the negative voice within...
One valuable lesson I learned in therapy was reframing. It's the ability to take a situation and look at it from a different perspective. I've always been skilled at that, as my brain defaults to looking at situations from multiple angles. I just didn't have a name...
I had an interesting car cionversation while driving with a friend. I was eagerly expressing some of my views about how the greatest story teller wins, and some of my deeper story based philosophies. We got into some of the real truth about lies, and it was disturbing...
Let's start with it. Drugs are kinda my thing, more so after 50 than before, but really - as far 0 0 0 back as I have memories, I have been fascinated with getting high, but too good to actually O it till quite late. I use 27 in my stories as the start of...
I've been writing more about the concept of now, or a universal now. The single moment if time, that we exist in the aftermath of, and the stories. All of our existence is in the stories were told. Or the stories we tell. Our reaction to now. Our realizations. Now is...
I have done an excellent job refraining a new drug addiction into a positive. My objective was clear before my decision to cross over a personal line I'd set, and try some of the bad drugs. So now, with almost no significant drugs left off my check list, I can end...
Any moment in time can be the start of a new story. All it takes to change your universe is to change the way you tell the stories. Best story wins Best storyteller wins Note. Attention readers. Save point I tell you now with clarity. If you master how to tell your...
I have mixed feelings when I see TV characters using ideas I have come up with previously. I should be proud by the validation, but envy and jealousy creep in. It makes me sad. Another lost opportunity. Another idea I never followed through on. Tonight, On The Big...
I have written many times about the power of stories, but today I will give an example of how they can be used to change embarrassing situations into joy. I am seated in a lunch restaurant a fair distance from my home, with my back to the dining room. As I was...
May 18 2012 An old idea, revisited. I happen to be friends with a lot of crazy people, myself included. For a few years, I was on medication, and in those 5 years I got a great job and income, a girlfriend, sex, and other frills. I drove a nice car, had a nice home,...
