Hey, folks!
I know my output here on dA has been slow, but I'm still having to deal with what went down last month. It's kind of hard to blast the creative block away, when your spirit isn't feeling all that good.
With that out of the way, I wanted to share a few thoughts:
01) I noticed that dA did not schedule anything for the upcoming Comic-Con in San Diego, especially another meet-and-greet. Too bad, really...I was hoping there would be another this year. If there was one, you know I'll be there for some fun.
02) As you can probably tell, my poetry has been darker of late. It is very hard for me to write the "happy" stuff when my heart still remains shattered. I'm still out there plugging...but when the spirit says "sorry, kiddo"--this usually means I take a couple of nights off from my creative work.
03) We had a visitor here at Santa Fe House. She was cute--but she thought I "looked Italian." Anybody who knows me knows my heritage is mostly borderland Scots, Ulster Irish, Dutch, German, and Blackfoot Souix. I just chalked that up to she was trying to be cute...no offense taken.
04) FINALLY got a cooling pad for my laptop (along with a set of headphones). Now I can work longer on my projects w/o the computer shutting down from overheating.
05) Learned a trick to de-bitter my coffee. I add a little coarse Kosher salt to my coffee grounds before brewing. My coffee tastes that much better (especially since I enjoy the dark roasted stuff). Still dealing with "Minnie Mooch," but she has found another source for her needs (good luck on that one, Bub!), and has figured out why not many folks around here enjoy her company.
06) I have another poetry book in the "halfway home" stage. It's working title is It's Always Personal, and it should be completed (and for sale at CreateSpace, Amazon, and Kindle Direct Publishing) before August.
07) Next week is Father's Day. Make sure your Dad gets a card from you...and more, if you can do so.
08) Well, gang, I'm going back to my rest (though sleep just will not come tonight). Take care, and Stay Deviant!

Something Is In The Air...Could It Be?
Greetings, Gang!
Things are going OK for me here at Santa Fe House.
On August 11th at 11am, I will be meeting with my attorney regarding my SSDI/Medicare case. The hearing will be in San Diego on October 6th at 12:30pm. If I win my case (and my attorney says I have a very good chance), I will regain my SSDI/Medicare, and will recieve my first payment in December.
Rattle some beads for me on this.
Another new thing is that somebody is very interested in me. Her name is Melissa, and she lives over at the Bridge House (now under new ownership). She's really cute and sweet, and gave me a pair of Vans loafers. I gave her some fruit in return

Mother's Day Thoughts...
Hey, gang!
Today is Mother's Day.
I wish each of you a Happy Mother's Day...and that all turns out well this day for you and your's.
As for me--this is not a day of celebration, but of mourning.
As you know, my mother was rather abusive to me, and only began to see the error of her ways when Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma took her in October of 1998. I went through physical, emtional, sexual, and financial abuse...either by her hand, or through her actions.
The pain from dealing with both is very great--and today is not a day for me to be among folks.
I still shed tears on this day--even though it's sunny-and-warm out.
For right now, my heart-
Something That I Thought Would Never Happen...
Hey, Gang.
The reason I have been "off the net" until today was due to the fact I had something happen to me I thought would never happen.
But it did.
Well, here goes--
I was down at the Main House, having delievered their mail. I had set up my laptop to do some Internet searching for Rada our cook. My now ex-friend Pam pased by--and begins to rag on me about my weight, and rather viciously at that. So, I fire back about her being "headed for the grave before me." I then call her out about her prescription painkiller abuse (she often sleeps with Duke Dilaudid and Princess Percoset), and the fact she still had not returned my Compass Card
