I know this is typically my Friday routine but I didn't have a lot to say about anything but a little to say about a few things. So here it goes:
- My last post was a very very rough draft of a song I'm working on in the folky hip-hop style of Lauren Hill's live cd.
- Fire Academy is good. It hasn't landed me any good dates yet (at least two bad ones though). I am however doing an eight minute dating fundraiser for MDA. Firefighters go for free but other guys, and now about 60 women, have to pay to go. Maybe eight minutes is all I need to find the girl of my dreams, or maybe it will just be incredibly awkward. Either way, I'm sure it will make a good story.
- I went to the doctor and was left in the exam room for two hours. Why? Because I wasn't paying attention and even slept for about an hour. Then the doctor comes in and talks on his phone for about ten minutes. Then, he tries to tell me that if I pray and read my bible that I will find peace in my life where I previously found anxiety. I could have killed that motherfucker about then. But....
- I had went to the doctor to get on some anti-depressants. He pretty much didn't know the first damn thing about the different drugs but gave me a prescription for some that I was on before. I'll probably get some more advise from a Psychiatrist but I am starting down the road of trying to be mentally healthy, or even consistent would work for now. No big changes yet, but I do get drunk very easily on the stuff. That can't be a bad thing.
That is all for now. I hope that you all are well. Much love.
I *heart* that Lauren Hill CD.

From one hip-hop junkie to another, I really liked your stuff.
Oh, hey, check out Anticon Records. Sage Francis did some stuff with them a few years back. There are a bunch of free mp3s at the site. Sole and Alias are good.

Speaking of random, you've been tagged.

honestly, i've recommended this before, take a greens supplement (preferably greens+) once or twice a day for a month and you will totally see your mood swings balanced. I stopped about a month ago because I got too busy and within a week I was back in the swing of the highs and lows and the depression snuck back in. I don't know your situation so I don't know the seriousness of your condition, but please don't get too hooked on pharms before you try greens. anyway, for what it's worth. Good luck.

McKormick has made two good points. One is that natural remedies are sometimes helpful and the other is that sometimes they aren't. When some people get stung by bees, they put some ice on it and go on about their day. Other people have to be rushed to the ER for immediate medical attention. Some people need meds to manage depression in the same way that other people need meds to manage their allergy to beestings. It's important that thoughtful people like ourselves are willing to help dismantle the stigma and stereotypes that accompany depression and medication.
