    • About Me

      I am and therefore I am. I dream. I fantasize. I listen. I am in one of the 10 dimensions of the universe. My main goal in life is to be a nice person. Why? Because I can be a mean SOB. I want to be nice and helpful to others. I want to start a campaign to cleanup America by asking everyone to help me pick up litter in their own neighborhoods. I have been diagnosed as having Bipolar type II, schizoaffective disorder, depression, PTSD, SAD, psoriasis, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, otherwise I'm FINE. You know what F.I.N.E. means? Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional. Have a nice day. I am also GOOD, grateful ole onry dude.

      From ravynsong April 20

      Craig I have been having a really rough time. I am in trouble with the locals here. and also the feds. No I am not being paranoid. I wish that's all it were and I could take a pill and it would all go away. I have been staying away from the computer. Thus in a way my *family* in California. I am sorry to have worried you. I am looking at prison time at the very least probation for a very long time. Stephanie Knows the whole story. It's not that I don't trust you or care about you, I just don't don't feel like typing it out again. Tell her I said it was okay for her to tell you about it. If you are interested. Needless to say I am in a word of hurt right now. I am going to church regularly. We have been in revival this past week. It was awesome.

Riding the upright comfort bike doesn't hurt, but riding my road bike hurts a little because I have to put weight on the left hand.
