EPISODE CLXXII: MY DISORDER IS MY SUPER POWER

 I talk about my mental disorders in some detail and how I have been able to see the positive things that came from them in order to get to the "next level" of life.  We can change perspectives of what is happening, despite we can't change what is happening.  I guess it goes back to that Tony Robbins shit when he say "life isn't happening to you, its happening for you." But I will take the for you part because at the end of the day, shit just happens.  Also a nice little PSA for mental health professionals that don't want to take on BPD clients. MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE SAIL - Awolnation FEEL SOMETHING - Excission, Wooli, I Prevail FURY OF THE STORM - Dragonforce MY SUPER POWER - Moonflower NEW LEVEL - A$AP Ferg w/ Future ILL SEE THE LIGHT TONIGHT - Yngwie Malmsteen

BEAUTIFUL AND DANGEROUS

  I think what I've been talking about a lot in the past few weeks is my anger issues. I explore why I'm angry, and it really is quite a process if you break down your anger and you look at it from the past, present, and future sense. Once you do that, it will blow your mind when you think about everything. I'm angry about my past because I felt that I had parents that weren't as supportive as they could be to me. I had dreams, I had aspirations. There are things I wanted to do when I received zero support from my parents. I'm angry because although I was able to accomplish some of these dreams and do things right, they all came a little bit later in my life, when I couldn't really hone my craft and I had to make choices about what had to be important in my life. I wish that I started younger. I wish that I knew very early on in life what I wanted to do, but instead, I got myself caught up with the wrong people and the wrong actions. I'm angry because of t...

WISE ASS WEDNESDAY

I Cried to the Same Playlist for a Week Straight , Then I Tried the Trick Music Therapists Swear By The week I let the playlist win For one full week, I listened to the same sad playlist every day. Not once a day, either. I mean in the car, while making coffee, while pretending to answer emails, and once while standing in the kitchen staring into the refrigerator like the answer to my problems was hiding behind the leftover pizza. It was not. The playlist was full of the usual emotional heavy hitters: songs about regret, missing people, losing time, being generally disappointed in yourself, and wondering whether everybody else received an instruction manual for adulthood that somehow got lost in the mail. By day three, I knew exactly when each song would hurt. By day five, I was crying before the lyrics even started. That takes talent, honestly. This was part of our October series, The Octaves of October , where we’re looking at the way music meets us in real life: during pan...

EPISODE CLXXI: IVE GOT NOTHING MAN

 So this week I had a plan and I changed the plan and I had absolutely nothing.  So I decided just to fuck around and be silly.  In fact this is a silly picture I took of me to make my kids laugh.  Hope you do too.
