My parents did alot of psycho stuff with me when I was entering adolescence. I was "committed" to a couple of 30 day evaluations.
It all depends on the care provider. to parents I'd say... look around
before deciding- mabey a vacation is what is needed. dude ranch, outward bound, anyone?

sick and tired of the local yokels, coming down on you
for living your life
every time you make a play you turn around and their in your face
I say it aint right
time to run
you're sanity's under the gun
Out in a place that gives you nothin'
kills you if you're doin something thats worthwhile
but you know that there's no other place
you're trapped inside mankind
cant find your style
what a drag
your liberty's blind bound and gagged

Life aint so easy when you're uncle's name is Sam
cause if you live up under his roof
he will enslave you with demands
kinda wonder if the story
has unfolded like its plan
long ago
home sweet home

Well my eyes have seen the glory
of the comming of the age
you know they say that things change
children play with weapons
while adults engage in games of fantasy
its so strange
what you gonna do
the finger is pointed at you
(and me too)
Live aint so easy when your uncles name is Sam
cause if you live up under his roof
he's gonna enslave you with all his funky plans
and you wonder if the story
every came back from Viet Nam
long ago
Home Sweet-

Kudos Frank! Wake up call.
There are no more wait untils, or as soon as I's...
This is the time-
I choose to live it!
when I think about Michael, I rejoice knowing he did it like Frank-
HIS WAY.
Thank you for every wonderous, musical moment you gave me.

Morphine, "Beuna"

just wanted to clear up the smokin dope thingy, Angel...
not that Im beyond it either...

Lucas with the lid off...

Thank all of you that reminded me that New York is actually no different that anyotherplace Arizona, or notifitwerehtelastplaceonearth Alaska. People will be people and I doubt that any of us are here because we are so magnificent that
the public is pounding at the front door, or that we are here because meeting people off line has become so hazardous.
I originally wanted to come on the site to make some friends and perhaps find a lover... What a ***** I can be- I have been be-friended, loved, counseled,
mentored, confided in, and corrected by what I have come to consider some of the sweetest women I could meet anywhere. I only wish that I had met most of you in a supermarket instead of through a social dating site.
Yet, I still put my bitchin' suit on, and cry about what I don't- I can't have- How typical is that???
So enough of this Fixation... I will eventually make local friends, and I certainly want to keep those of you I met in a lonely corner of my room . all in all, I have been shown a great deal of kindness, concern, and love here, and I thought it worthy to blog about my successes as well!
Next Stop- whereevertheheck it leads me Montana...

Now, if I take a direct focused look at you- you look good, make me think Aretha. I agree that it would serve you well to say what you are seeking here, mabey a bit about what you're bringing to the mix-

yeah thats it!

First of all, you gotta want to. Then you can make a conscious decision
to get over it. This is the attitude. Then you behave differently- like, as a single person. Attitudes and behavior...

Dear Mirror, Mirror,
Your question, if love is a feeling or a choice, causes me to ask myself, if find either to be the case- My experience is that were love either of these, I would be in trouble! love for me is bigger than my desires, which are the strongest of my feelings and the basis for my choices. It manifests outside of me before it is felt within me- it requires an object.
Great question posed.

I dont mind rattling somone's cage- even though it may appear empty.
Besides, all boxes look fairly the same from the outside...

Just to elaborate- when I wrote this, I had in mind Plato's allegory of the cave-
"Plato imagines a group of people who have lived chained in a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of the cave entrance, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Plato, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to seeing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constitutive of reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners."
See if you can make the connection-

Yes, if the intent to love is there in the first place. If its not, and your erection lasts more than four hours, please see a physician.

Ed Thank you for being a good moment in my life.

Honored.

Hey Kimmy! Thanks
Good to know you are here.

Exactly
