OBAMA
A simple slogan for his two-term campaign
As he waltzed right through to hold America’s reign.
With every stride and every step, he paved upon
His imprint slogan, “Change [Americans] Can Count On.”
His certainty, assertiveness, and lean demeanor
Placed arrogance and haughtiness on the back steamer.
Courteous smile and well-mannered self
Proved such simplicity bore a mine of wealth
Deep within the essence of his being.
Whether his slogan was taken
Or mis-taken
Whether deemed positive or negative
It was definitely not...

Humanity, whatever once you were...
Humanity, whatever once you were,
Has gone the wayside by.
Share ye a coffee, share ye a tea,
Share ye a sigh and wonder why.
Tears will cry until they dry. Oh life,
However once you tried,
To make of men their better selves,
Has been, by stubborn choice, denied.
Let us now play it as it lies- humanity,
Whatever once you were, is for the birds.
To live now is to be absurd. So be absurd.
Has gone the wayside by.
Share ye a coffee, share ye a tea,
Share ye a sigh and wonder why.
Tears will cry until they dry. Oh life,
However once you tried,
To make of men their better selves,
Has been, by stubborn choice, denied.
Let us now play it as it lies- humanity,
Whatever once you were, is for the birds.
To live now is to be absurd. So be absurd.

A Day In The Life Or How I lived Through High School
(1982-1986+)
Yeah I'm old ... but I remember those days vividly. I was on natural full hormone therapy so a lot of my time was spent staring at women. Braless, panty lines, bending over, walking away, sideways into button bloused caches of mysterious wonderment. I learned how to look a girl in the eyes while her nipples poked through her T-Shirt. No small feat even today.
Sex seemed even more everywhere than todays online porn culture, with most advertisements screaming sexual innuendos and double entendres like a middle school boys club. I genuinely...

next?
I thought the next instalment would ask the question;
Why do social services and the NHS in my area think they have the right to judge the general public health and well being when a large amount of them are rather large, to put it politely, or reliant on sooking on vapes ,or fags, outside public paid for premises and some who look like they have not done any physical exercise since playing hopscotch in the school playground..?

Home At 1am Or No One's Name On That One
Home At 1am Or No One's Name On That One
I could have left earlier, but I hated going home. At 15 freedom had narrow windows, which I pushed to the limit and beyond. I was James Bond with all the gadgets and prescience. Zukof ... Alan Zukof ... lol
I was hyper aware and in great shape, though I didn't think so then. There was always better around the next corner, next bend in the road, next girl. A fatal flaw that I used to drive me then, until I learned better. Feats of athletic wonder did little to impress gangs and bullies on the...

Everyday
Everyday, it's wake up, walk, make breakfast, be at the whim of my drunk sister's every command (although I have to block her number because I can't fulfill all of them), talk to friends throughout the day, clean if my chronic fatigue allows for it, write or read if my brain isn't too fogged, etc.
I can't get myself to do much. I'm too drained from dealing with toxic family members. I'm lucky when I can get away from them, but other times, I'm not too lucky.
I'm still not sure of how I haven't fainted yet. Definitely don't have the Instagram worthy lifestyle although I'm...

Personal Update
Not looking for sympathy, just explaining ... been a hell couple of weeks personally ... sadly becoming more frequent with this random ass disease ... so am (ok) ... just hard to focus on other things when you are trying to immerse yourself in things that help you forget the pain ... last December and June were similar so I expect more of the same and each a bit worse than the last ... and the in-between times are their own roller coaster of lesser, but no less frustrating issues ... when I don't post or write now, 9 out of 10 times it's because I'm struggling with above ...

untitled 8/19
there are times when
one must be willing
to destroy
all that one is
in order
to become
that which
one might be.

Memory I Might Include In Memoir
I remember I used to talk with this guy I met on Okcupid. I think I picked him up from his house in some neighborhood perhaps in Magnolia. But I'm not sure. Like many others I have forgotten, I don't remember his name at all.
But I remember he told me this story of a schizophrenia woman he knew who was taking advantage of someone else. It didn't necessarily make me feel better about my own schizophrenic problems. But I'm glad he talked about it anyway.
But this is my dilemma. I don't blame anyone for leaving me if I exhibit toxic behaviors, and I don't blame myself for...

scapegoat
Apology from the NHS
Apology from the police
Apology from the council..
Court case in 2015 where my testimony was used in the prosecution
Court case in 2016 with a ruling of £8000 in my favor
Court case in 2024 which resulted in a conviction
Financial Ombudsman ruling on two cases that resulted in compensation and lets not forget the additional "compensation".
Then we have the 14 breaches of the peace I was let off.
The debunking of wads of NHS and bell bottomed, fag ended, busybodies who armed...
