Transformation. Thank you to Brian Gullins. Response to Guess speaker of Area 10 church

Transformed definitly but just because you have changed doesn't mean there isn't an action or even a single word that makes you feel contrainted like you're in a jail cell or even makes you cry. When he started talking about abuse I lost it. Maybe it takes a break down to be transformed. That one word abuse shuts me down. I don't want to be in public and I don't want to share my feelings.
My prayers are simple. They are usually help me. I pray for this for the simplest things.
Several days I feel the weight on my shoulders I do my best to get rid of it. I have forgiven( my whatever you want to call them) but I don't think I can sit in the same room as them.
This afternoon I was awaken by thunder. I saw no lightening but the rain washed away the dirt. I saw that this particular sermon was 50 minutes long which I thought was long but I listened to it anyway.
I think it is still sprinkling outside. I feel like walking my mile walk and getting outside this prison cell. The door is always opened.

Separation


Separation



I’ve dropped out

I’ve moved down

But for then

I was split in two

All ears

I could only listen

Occasionally I tired

To make them laugh

Even if I was the fool

2 individuals

Experiencing a low

I tried my best to suggest

It could get worse

It never did

It grew from one conversation

Into a union

Making our family whole

We grew

Standing on a solid rock foundation

That will take the end of the world to break

Until then

Enjoy your grand kids.

The First Time I wanted to Write

The first time I wanted to write , I didn't know how to write, however I knew my alphabet. My families' cat, Muffin, just got ran over by a car. I thought it was my fault, because I didn't shut the screen door fast enough. Muffin ran out to the street. We rushed to the vet, and I was late to school. Muffin ended up being okay but it took awhile.
Later on that evening, my family and I were visiting a neighbor. I always had a notepad. It was there when I started to want to write in a journal. I asked my dad to help me out.
Even then I figured a journal should be private so I gave up on writing untill the seventh grade.

Selfless

She didn't have a vacation until close to eighty.
Before then she fed her love once including
her kids and grand kids before she ate.
then there was the jocky lot in Anderson south Carolina,
she was so excited by the deals
for the most bizarre things, she said, the word
jocky lot in one mouth full without breathing
the jocky lot which was one masssive yardsale
she raised four kids
with about five grand kids
selfless she would given it all
and she did to her love ones
but her first vacation was at the beach
she questioned whether or not the sand would hold her up
when she stepped on the sand she thought it felt like sugar
she spend an extended period of time watching the birds
and collecting the treasures on the beach
even the treasures she didn't keep
she gave them to her neighbors in
the nursing home.
the selfless seek contentment
not with money but the satisfaction of others

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



2008- COMING OF AGE STORY A MODERN DAY “ON THE ROAD” THAT REFLECTS THE EXPERIENCES OF AMERICAN YOUTH IN THE NINETIES

When we were Young

 is released by author Jason Jepson



In this fictionalized memoir, author Jason Jepson writes about growing up in America during the 1990’s. The story opens not long after the Columbine shootings. Jonah, the young protagonist, is himself a bit of an outsider, but his shaved head and off-beat way of dressing belie his true innocence and naiveté.



When we were Young chronicles the life of Jonah from high school through graduation and the summer before he finally starts college. Like a modern day Kerouac, Jonah and his friends spend their days and nights in their small Virginia town drinking cheap coffee in the diner, wandering around looking for something to do and experiencing a few drunken nights and an  occasional sexual encounter with a girl. Later when Jonah moves to the capital and lives in an apartment without heat and becomes a struggling young writer, we can’t help but root for him.



When we were Young is a coming of age story full of typical experiences of middle class American youth in the nineties. Jonah’s story is neither unique nor remarkable, but Jepson’s ability to write it all down with such clarity and candidness makes this a journey worth taking.

Quote from Winston Churchill

"We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English."
He said something else (atleast I think it was him) something like he understands when he was young being liberal but as an older man being conservative.
Two people that I love immensely have posted things on facebook against my view on chic-filet. One was that is was freedom of speech, the other one was a pic of Linsey Grahm eating chic-filet.
Do you remember freedom fries? I personally always wanted to go to Paris. People have forgotten about it now.
This quote speeks volumes to me. My thoughts go way back to high school with the whole freak and prep little separation there. What side were you on? I can have a beer with anyone now.
Our right to disagree is AMerican, however when there is no compromise it can be anarchy.
Raised by educators I don't understand why conservatives always want to cut the education budget. I wish someone would explain it to me.
If you are only communicating with people who feel the exact same you do then you are stuck in the mud.
As a moderate I agreed with investing in enviromental savy businesses. MOst didn't work out. Now should we have not invest in the enviroment? No but maybe it shouldn't have been as much.
Obama Care. My fellow mental health consumers would most likely be turned away from an insurance company for pre-exisiting conditions. That is really all I understand about the new health care law.
Bigotry. I think it can have a different definition for everybody.

science fiction


7/31/12

So symptoms edged and inched into my brain as I somehow misplaced my entire iTunes library on my computer. I must have tried for 3 hours to relocate it. I eventually found it written down in my music file but still I couldn’t listen to it for whatever reason.

            I thought my upstairs neighbor was behind it even though I reminded myself several times that he had moved out or if he didn’t move out he was just really quiet. I decided after picking up my pork fried rice from my favorite Chinese restaurant that I would take a whole pill of meds instead of just the half.

            I hadn’t drunk since Saturday. It is now Tuesday so I figure drinking four days back to back had something to do with it.

            Schizophrenia you feel the paranoia similar to illegal drugs but you don’t feel the high. You constantly have to remind yourself that most of this isn’t actually going on.

            I woke up after 2pm today, not quite sure on the exact time. I usually only sleep this late, after a night of heavy drinking.

            I’ve put my name out there to two volunteer jobs. Nothing yet.

            Saturday night there was a kiss cover band playing. I walked around mainly to check out the girls. Funny, I don’t know what my type is but I know what it is not. This was at Breakers.

            I’ve been seeing the same guy there. I say Hi he says nothing back. Of course my paranoia happens but the thoughts don’t make any since. They don’t make any since because I don’t tell anybody where I am going, but sometimes I feel like people are following me. Again Ignore it chances are it isn’t actually going on.

            Before that it was Applebee’s. Coming in I saw a friend, as I sat down I thought I heard a girl at the bar say, “He has crazy eyes.”

            I probably did, because before I came out I thought I heard someone a neighbor or someone in my building say, “If he goes out tonight, he’ll be arrested.” Obviously I went out anyway.   

            Just now a knock at my door, it is a soldier, I invite him in, and now he sitting down wondering why I am writing this and staring at him at the same time.

            “Do you remember Doctor Wetter?” He asked.

            “Yes,” I answered,” he was the army doctor who diagnosed me plantar fasciitis.”

            The soldier laughed, “That is the least of you problems.”

            That kind of made me angry.

            “Well, I had a mental breakdown.”

            “You did, did ya?” The soldier asked sarcastically.

            “Why are you here?”  I finally asked.

            “Dr. Wetter was in your corner. He wanted you to win the war all by yourself. The other privates got jealous and thought otherwise.”

            “They duct taped me.” I said.

            “Yes, you were discharged with special powers. You are experienced another step of evolution.”

            “What are you trying to say?” I asked.

            “You were tormented so much that you now can see other’s thoughts, and the government is interested in you.”

            “Why am I asking you these questions, if I can see other’s thoughts?” I inquired.

            “All it takes to have your power is to make eye contact with you.” The soldier answered with a big grin on his face. “I’ve blocked you out.”

            “I think you better leave.” I said getting pissed off.

            “The government keeps tabs on you sometimes, every couple of years. You may think everything is fine but truth is you are creating a super human.”

He went on to say, “This is classified but you are a hero. You go spreading that and people will think you are schizophrenic. The two are similar.”

            “How are they similar?” I asked.

            “A schizophrenic will hear voices inside their head, but it is a delusion. However, a person might have your special powers but the voices in their head are from real people.”

            “What if I wear sunglasses?” I asked.

            The soldier’s jaw dropped. Then it closed again and then he grinned.

            “On the asvab you tested at genius levels.”

            The soldier started walking to the door.

            “Don’t abuse it-“

            “I want to get even with my recruiter.”

            “Tell you what nothing over a sergeant first class. Do you remember what that is?” The soldier asked.

            “That is three up, three down and two rockers.” I answered.
