Just a quick note about why I've been gone...
A few of you might know this, but one of my cousins has been battling to come back from an addiction and subsequent overdose of prescription painkillers and anti-depressants. It's been hard on our entire family, but unfortunately, that's not been the low point. Now she's been in hiding for the last two weeks, and her drug selling "friends" have been helping to keep her away from her family. Tuesday, two of my brothers and I went and forced a confrontation at one of the homes she's been hiding in; it did turn ugly, but we managed to physically take her from the house and enforce the commitment order, hopeful that she can get some help from these drugs. I guess I've been very naive about the extent of the problem in today's society. Since I don't take meds of any kind (unless I'm almost dying), I've never been one to try, experiment or sample the 'pill du jour', so it's been hard to understand... I've just loved and sympathized, enough if it had to be tough love.
People, if you're reading this, do yourself a favor... if you know or love someone, and suspect there is a problem, don't sit idly by and let this poison run it's course. My cousin is a trained EMT here, and she still fell victim to the power of these drugs. BE PROACTIVE in the lives of those you care about, before it's too late! I've seen first hand what the pain is like for all involved, and I would spare any of you what my family has been through the last few weeks...
Please, take care of yourselves and each other, and I hope to be back soon. ~David
It's been beautiful here the past few days, and after being stuck in the house for part of the week with the flu, I loaded up Gus and the camera and went for a drive (pics will be coming soon!). Spring is definitely here, way ahead of schedule... it was in the mid 80's here, officially broke the first sweat of the year, lord I hope this isn't a sign of the summer to come.
It's been a great chance to digest everything that's been going on the past few weeks. My problems at work, mortality, health, friendships, the future... it was nice to finally be able to relax and think some things through, and not just react for a change.
A friend has had some dark days lately, still dealing with the passing of a family member, and the memories/experiences with her loved one. It's hard when you want to do or say something, but nothing seems to fit the situation... I've loved this song, and when I came across this video the other day, it didn't click why until today. Whether it's dealing with a failed relationship, or remembering the ones that have gone on before us, the need to ultimately let everything fall into it's own place and move on is necessary for the human heart. I hope this will help feed her spirit, and maybe she'll feel the wind on her face again soon...
I was just reading through some of the bulletins today; this one bitching about that one, or someone cheated and got 13 extra points, or fan me-rate me-add me I'm a point starved whore...
Wow... kind of makes me glad I live alone with my dog Gus. Amazing how cretinous people can be, all trying to be the biggest fish in the more often than not septic pond of CT. Just so you know? I could give a damn about points or ratings, except for the fact that it enables me to post more of my photography. It brings me personal joy to show others my work, and share what I see through the lens. The good part about that is, I've made a few honest to God 'friends'... what a novel concept on what's supposed to be a 'social networking' site, that's based more on aesthetics and immature carnal behavior than anything else. How in the world can you tell a person's personality or credibility by gawking at the size of their breasts? Lord knows a bigger phallus doesn't serve to make a single male of the species one iota more intelligent.
Case in point: I actually had a female ask me today how 'big' I am... WTF? Are you kidding me? Is this mental juggernaut somehow going to sleep better tonight knowing she's 1439 miles away from the biggest c**k she's NEVER going to see? Disgusted just doesn't quite come close...
So, for the ones that can (and will) read this, thank you, and know that I have a new appreciation for the term 'obtuse'. If you're still on my list after this, the term clearly doesn't apply... (screams at the thought of some people knowing how to breathe!)
ps. This video is dedicated to the masses... koolaid is served, drink up campers!
