I have beaten Mental Illness by vader
II have beaten Mental Illness and for the first time since 1962...i feel wonderful.No longer do i get up and cry.I want to live.I want to do the things that I couldnt do and i want to do them as soon as possible.This disease can strike anyone and i was fortunate to have a fantastic father.My father was my best friend and he taught me a lot of things..but I want to share a story about my father and what a good father he was.Frank also.The year was 1958..I was 11 years.There was a good series on tv.It was called The Honeymooners.Jackie Gleason played Ralph Kramden who was a bus driver in the Bronx.Art Carney played Ed Norton.Audrey Meadows played Alice and Joyce Randolph played Trixie.Of the things were so different then and the kids today dont know what it is like to have hard times...Now let me clue you....in 1958...a sewer worker in New York CIty made 62.50 a week.That is all he got.62.50 but it went along way...I came home and told m y father that Jackie Gleason was in a play in New York..The show was called Take Me ALong and it starred Walter Pigdeon..Una Merkel.robert Morse and Gleason.It was a bit hit...And on my 12th birthday...we went to New York and saw Take Me Along..New York was a different kind of town back then.The stars salaries werent as high as today.In fact...Jackie Gleason was the highest paid star at that time.He was getting 5,000.000 a week..which is like Tom Cruise 10 million dollars today.When it comes to comedy...the stars of today cant cut it...noone can take a torch to Gleason.He was The Great One and i saw why..This man was great and he was talented.lets give credit where credit is due and not give credit to people who just dont have it...John Travolta is very handsome..but as an actor..I dont think that John can cut it...And I now can remember so much and when it comes to romance..there is little..I am not interested in romance and that means sex...I lost interest years ago..I am not romantic..so guys..please I just want friendship..please do not bring me candies or flowers...nor do I want to go to a romantic dinner..are you kidding? The only time he does this is when he wants to borrow money and since I am on disability.l dont have any money to give away and i wont..so please dont ask me for money..I have beaten this mental illenss and I will continue to fight it.I wil contineu to take my medication and i feel fine like The Beatles sang in 1965.I feel fine..thanks to all of Daily Strength...vader.
