My psychologist sat across from me in his office and he stated, “I don’t know what scares you more…the thought that life has no meaning or that everything in life has a meaning?” The icy realization flooded into my brain as if I had been submerged into a frozen lake. He is right (he is [...]

Pile O’ wood

When I asked Travis what I should write about, he paused. He then said “why don’t you write about this giant pile of wood?” No, he wasn’t referring to the wood in his pants…keep it clean, people (pfff…yeah right, like I can do that). He was talking about the literal pile of wood that is [...]
Misheard lyrics

Here is something that everyone can identify with! You are driving down the road listening to your stereo, bopping along, “singing” all the words to the song like you own that bitch when all of a sudden, you hit a patch of words that you just can’t hear so you mumble through that line…coming out [...]
You know you are a CNA when…(explicit…kind of)

1.) Your motto in life quickly becomes “urine is sterile, urine is sterile.” You have to adapt this dogma if you want to survive in the healthcare industry. I have had urine splashed on me in more ways than I can even remember. The incident where it managed to get in my shoe at the [...]
The trials and tribulations of being super tall

Before my readers who consider themselves to be short get all huffy puffy, let their panties get in a twist, and try to punch me in the face (if they could reach it…ha!), let me explain that just as being short has its own set of problems, so does being tall. So just relax. I [...]
The curse of the underdog
Posted in Uncategorized on January 16, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Have you ever noticed that in the movies, literature, and any other mediums telling stories of human interactions the underdog is always the hero of the story? Always! So technically, the underdog character is in fact not the underdog. They get the girl/boy, they get the job, they get the money, and the bully is [...]
Echoes

This is a piece that my psychologist prompted me to write about. It was inspired by his new office. It is in an old building with high ceilings that allow for an echo. This made me very uncomfortable. Yes, I am weird. An echo is a reflection of the voice. The voice is a [...]
Rent a pup

I have the next million dollar idea in mental health care….rent a puppy. Last Saturday, I was miserable. My friend who suffers from severe depression was also miserable. We had been exchanging texts all day about how horrid we were feeling. We were two miserable peas in a dismal pod and we were not coming [...]
Antiques Road Show vs. Football

It should be no surprise that someone of my cynicism dislikes football. Just in case you had any doubts, I do, in fact loath football. I like hockey and soccer. I think it is the perpetual amount of play time that is able to draw me in and keep focused on the action. In football, [...]
One more downer…

This is a piece that was inspired by a therapy session…surprise, surprise. My psychologist asked me to write a letter to my depression. The following is what I was able to spit out. I promise, this will be my last uber depressing post for a while!! I try not to be Debbie Downer but I’m [...]
