Rabbit

It has been a long time family tradition of mine to say RABBIT as the first words on the morning of the first day of every month.  As a kid, we used to try to have it be the first thing, but more importantly, we said it to each other in the family before the other said it to us.  As an obsessive kid that liked to win at any game I could (because I usually lost), I took it seriously, and always did my best to remember to RABBIT my mother and sisters each new month.

On Facebook, I try to only Rabbit friends when I know they’re already awake and online. If they post or chat, they get a RABBIT.  Just posting it openly on my Facebook status or tweet isn’t in the spirit of being first.

More recently, I’ve added the image element, and try to find a smile-worthy picture of a rabbit each month, which I post on my wall only after the game has played out with all the involved parties.

This is where I’m honest, right

I'd like to think I could be honest again, because I think I'm worth a second look. I only feel this is true. When I'm high. I did a huge thing today. I just did it. I got high on a drug that isn't weed. Let me lead into that. I have a story. I'm an interesting...

Same accident. Different door

So as of 8:14 a.m. on Tuesday August 2nd I am possibly missing a cat, or not one may have escaped outside which is really bad for at least one or two of the cats and reasonably bad for the third. If it's the bad cat and I don't mean bad cat I mean if it's the cat that...

Day two. It doesn’t get easier..

Doing pretty much the same thing every day doesn't necessarily get easier. For someone with attention deficit disorder it can actually get more difficult because each day it becomes less interesting and the temptation to be creative and look for ways to make it fun...

The Wednesday that was Monday

The Wednesday that was Monday

I woke up from another dream at around 7am today, a Wednesday, but it was a fresh awake wake-up. The first I’ve had since my medication screw up almost 3 weeks ago. I stood up, and didn’t lay back down again. I sat at the computer and started my morning work routine...
