Katrina was here
We only had minor damage but not that far from us 1000's of people are homeless and suffered complete devastation of their whole communities. I'm still in shock and praying for everyone.

Random thoughts
I communicate, feel, think and dream in/with pictures. I noticed while looking at other people's blogs that most people use words to do these things so I thought I'd make an attempt to add a few more words to this silly Blog. :)
The hard part about that is coming up with the actual words. It's sooooo much easier to use pictures! haha Anyway, I wanted to mention that I try to keep my posts focused on some of the positive aspects of being alive, the things that give me the Light & Love to keep going for another day. And even when I'm trying to deal with or process some negative feelings or happenings I try not to delve into the depths with it. Just acknowledge what is happening or did happen and grow beyond it. I know all too well that there are much bigger and much darker things going on in the world. I think it's hard not to feel overcome by all of that so this is one small way that I deal with it.

The school in whitehaven I always drive by and say a little prayer of thanks that I don't/didn't have to go to.
I took this while I was in the drive in line at my bank... it just struck me as odd but in a good way

CrazyMeds.Org
I love this site! It's written by crazy people for crazy people. http://crazymeds.org/ and it's funny as hell and you still manage to learn a lot and feel better too. I highly recommend it as a stopping off place esp. if for some f'd up reason you actually have to deal with being crazy and/or are in love with a crazy person. By the way I do not use the term crazy in a negative way. I <3 crazy people :) Anyway, here is a bit from the website, directly quoted I didn't even have to add in the donkey dong part myself! And if you know me at all you KNOW that sucking donkey dongs is a term that I reserve for those things that truly suckass 1 million percent.
"If you're in shock about or trying to understand the whole overwhelming deal of medications and being classified as some flavor of mentally interesting / mentally ill / batshit crazy, or want to know what this site is all about, just keep reading.
I know, the meds suck donkey dong.
But you know what? When you're mentally ill and you're not taking the right medications, it sucks syphilitic donkey dong while a red-hot poker is being jammed up your ass. That's what it's like without any meds at all, and that's what it's like if you're taking completely inappropriate medications. And that's what it's like if you're taking psychiatric medications when you shouldn't be taking any at all.
I'm sorry about the shocking imagery there, but you have to wake up to the fact that mental illness can't be dealt with by gentle hugs and pretty angels alone. When you're crazy, like a lot of aspects of life, you have to make a decision between two options and you have to figure out which one is going to suck less.
A lot of people are going to feed you lines about how you can deal with mental illness through therapy, prayer, meditation, and by taking various herbs, vitamins, supplements and amino acids, and by practicing Yoga or similar arts, by changing your diet and various lifestyle changes, and so forth. Well all of those things are really good. I do a lot of those things. Hell, I do most of those things. They are all part of a balanced mental health diet. For some types of mental illness for a lot of people those things alone may be the answer. I'm talking about mild to moderate depression, slight anxiety, moderate compulsions, stuff like that. Not being seriously sick in the head.
Not bipolar disorder.
Not epilepsy.
Not schizophrenia.
Not clinical depression that keeps you in bed staring at the ceiling for weeks at a time.
Not obsessive-compulsive disorder where you're checking to see that the door is locked for half and hour before you can leave your house.
Not anxiety/panic disorder so bad that the physical symptoms are obvious to another person. Or agoraphobia so bad you can't leave your house. Ever.
Not ADD/ADHD where you can't hold a consistent train of thought for longer than 10 seconds."\

NPD & Thee
I have finally been able to accept the fact that Josh has full-blown NPD. For everyone that isn't crazy or in love with someone crazy or both, NPD is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. IMHO it's the worst of the worst of the basic personality dysfunctions. But, hey I'm crazy so what do I know? :) There are some really good books about NPD and it's comorbidity with other dysfunctions and I'd recommend reading them if you really want to scare the bejesus out of yourself! and also if you do happen to be in love with an N as they are known you can't help but feel a profound sense of sadness because of the waste of a person with so much to offer if they could choose to be alive and not dead on the inside :/
