Dear Significant Other of my PLATONIC Friend who Happens to be the Opposite Gender that I am:

NOTE:  I’ve seen a number of good platonic friendships end, including a recent one of my own.  I don’t get the jealousy and mistrust that seems to be going on these days.

(Whew that was a long salutation).

I'd Like to Thank The Academy....

Well, it's finally happened. True genius is being recognised and I've been nominated for an Oscar. Not the ones decided by a catacomb staffed with the propped up, dessicated corpses of actors from eighty years ago, but an internet-based award. I think we can all agree that's much more important, although I do feel silly for putting on this frock and writing an acceptance speech.

Thanks, Rob. I just accepted this award so I won't be doing so again, but thanks for the nomination!!  

Daily Prompt: Toot Your Horn

Most of us are excellent at being self-deprecating, and are not so good at the opposite. Tell us your favorite thing about yourself.

It’s true.  I am most excellent at self-depreciation.  I can criticize myself like nobody’s business.  I got that shit down to a science.  Quite honestly, I’ve spent most of the last few months recognizing all of the ways that I suck in addition to all the ways I already knew I sucked.  The list has become rather long.

You won’t like me when I’m….calm

Fuck!  Why am I not pissed off?!?! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m now taking anti-depressant medication.  Since I’ve started it I’ve noticed that I am not as angry a person as I used to be, which is good for me.  However, it’s bad for my blog.  My rants, which I think were some of my greatest posts, are hard to come by because hardly anything gets me worked up any more.

Even with all the stupid shit going on with the election, Bengazi, and the CIA director resigning because of an affair (who cares?) the anger which would have led to ranting blog posts on those subjects is no longer there.  Because of that, I’m having a hard time finding things to write about.

Maybe I just need to get back into the writing practice, or maybe apathy (indifference?) is just something I’ll have to live with.  Either way, I’m not really complaining.  Just saying.  I’m not really all that angry any more and it really doesn’t bother me.

I’ll try to get my creative juices flowing again to get some fictional and humor writing going, but my rants might be a thing of the past.

Oh well.  Gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.
