What else is there but LIFE?!!??!?!?!?!!??! you wanna “find out?”  Like an old “No Trespassing” sign I saw in Hawaii once…….. “Do you believe in life after death? Trespass and find out……..” Yikes, scary people!!!!!!!! (Or at least a scary sign–) *********** “Moving On” ********** Somethin’ in me changed, the scenery it stays the same, [...]

MOVING ON——–

So I just made a big book donation to the Salvation Army here in Pasadena, CA. Books, baseball cards, football cards; the books?  There were items that literally kept me inspired enough to stay alive in hospitals and horrible places when I was in the midst of my confusion– I’m making space for a music [...]

I think I’m DONE!!!!!!!!

I mean, I’ve done it–I’ve blogged and written and posted the HOW I do it, the Why I do it– I love life and it starts with Life, ends with Life, with Life in the middle.  A.A. gives me a lot, a brilliant program, crafty Christianity mixed with 20th century thought, namely re: psychiatry. Freud, [...]

SELF ESTEEM? CUT OUT ALCOHOL!!!!!!!!

I was suicidal for about six years, off and on, up and down, in hospitals or trying to get along in the real world… Suicide has a great buddy–Alcohol. Self-destruction is self-destruction, self-harm is self-harm, once you start to cut a little, next comes a bigger and bigger cut until your life is threatened!!!!!!!! Alcohol [...]

“We had a new Employer–” (pg. 63, Big Book of A.A.)!!!!!!!!

His or Her name was God, Higher Power, Jehovah, Joe-bob, Billy or Bobby, Suzy– Something was loving and good, and more powerful than US!!!!!!!! We were lost and hopeless, were ready to give up– GIVE UP!!!!!!!! What you don’t want God will take and make great, step out of the way, be helped, take that load [...]

There is nothing WRONG with YOU!!!!!!!!

YOU ARE PERFECT, the Christian Scientists would say, and they’d be right! Everything is just the way it’s supposed to be… It all becomes JIBBER-JABBER, all good sayings, unless you adhere to the most relevant of all: “One day at a TIME!!!!!!!!” Center your energy, your life, your spirituality, your everything on living THIS day——– [...]

“No Matter How Far Down–

–the wrong path you are on, TURN AROUND.” –a quote told to me at a New Year’s party once. I have lost friends to suicide, we encounter and have encountered artists, musicians, “friends” from our CD store and music stations…. They die before entering adulthood– I was so low myself, and the path back to [...]

Controlled DRINKING?

MUSIC FOR YOU–

Before I turn these blogs into a book for kindle, I need a music posting:)  Need’s a strong word, after “Higher Power,” music is the most important concept for me, as I look back on why I am not dead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IasCZL072fQ Dale Bozzio from Missing Persons, c. 1981, awesome, dope and cool, her husband pounding [...]
