Feeling restless, this evening I made one of my now rare post-sunset forays on foot out onto the streets of my part of the city.

Bipolar author goes from Rock Bottom to Rock ON! In "Lipstick and Thong in the Loony Bin" Courtney A. Walsh offers a survival story of hope healing and humor about the taboo subject of suicide. Pandora's Box?...is OPEN....

I startled awake this morning, right out of a nightmare where i was last running from a room where someone was about to do something terrifyingly stupid. Which i was not going to be a part of. We (I think this is me and Si) are in some small shack passing as a cafeteria in some jungle, although i don't remember seeing food. People are lined up, a tall slender man points at a large blue bag hanging on the wall.

This angle on things may interest the strategically challenged (i.e. "consumers" and survivors of authoritarian abuse who want to make a clean break from controls on our collective alienation); my own interest is to use my art to inspire discussion along lines of visionary ways to respond, re-create, and design our lives as we'd like to live.

um i really don't know what this is about-love in the face of chaos?

The craziest part about feeling like something out of your control and shitty just happened to you or someone you care about, is that sometimes it can put you into this really clear headed state of mind afterwards...
