I finally found my diary again. I still know what day it is, my wife's name, my own name, and I still know who the President of the United States is---George W. Bush. I even remember that we're at war with Iraq and that his popularity has slipped a little in the polls.
I've been spacing out a little, but I think it's just a neurotically self-produced symptom my mind has generated out of fear of what my diagnosis will ultimately bring.
Maybe I don't have the disease at...
Hello right-wingers, my good friends! "I've come to talk with you again---because a vision softly creeping, left its seed while I was sleeping..."
Lately I've been doing a lot of looking and listening. Look around here at Bakersfield.com
What do you see? What do you hear? Do you notice the ratio between liberals and conservatives? Conservatives, where are you hiding? Hello! This is Bakersfield. We are loved and we are hated for...
Are you bored to death of listening to the same old music from the same old bands and artists? Would you like a breath of fresh air from your Northern neighbors in Canada? I'd like to ImporTUNE you. That's right, and I will, import tunes and bands from Canada and the U.K. to Bakersfield. Bands like today's I ImporTUNE U featured band, Vancougar:
http://www.vancougar.ca/
Visit their site, sample their tunes (like Way It's Gon' Be), then let me know if you'll let...

Well, lately I've been thinking that just because I've got this diagnosis doesn't mean I should become obsessed with myself and my disease. It's not all about me.
Where was I going with that thought? Oh, yeah, I mean my wife, Cecilia, I really need to think about how...

My wife, Cecillia doesn't know it, but I've been up half the night searching for my damn diary. I finally found it right here under my pillow where I left it. This can't be happening to me. I know for a fact that Alzheimer's disease doesn't progress this...

Dear Diary:
Well, I finally went to the doctor today, at my wife, Cecilia's behest, only to discover some very bad news. The doctor said I was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Over the past few months, my wife has noticed that I've been forgetting even more than I usually do. I don't believe the...
The situation in Iraq isn't that bad?! Politicians do it. Teachers do it. Preachers do it. Even psychologists do it, as I reluctantly admitted in the comments section of a recent blog. It was one of the defense mechanisms identified by Freud as a self-protective measure that is self-implemented in an attempt to protect the ego (in Freud's theory, another world for the self) from a threat it is not prepared to handle.
Coochie requested a song about...

It Only Hurts When I Cry

words and music by Dr BLT ©2006/2007
It only hurts when I cry
on the day when the bullet
sent tears to my eyes
no, don't you pity my heart 'cause
it only hurts when I cry
it only hurts when I scream
a tragic nightmare
collides with a dream
no, don't you pity my heart
'cause
it only hurts when I scream
in Birmingham
they burned the bones of children
I was a child
so sheltered...
Some were disappointed. Some were relieved. I was among those relieved that the increasingly intense confrontation between myself and local blogger, Dusty, did not develop into a full-scale Donald-Trump-vs-Rosie-O'Donnell-styled showdown. Then of course insult was added to injury, when coochie (like Madonna in the Trump/O'Donnell tiff) stepped in to defend Dusty.
For those who missed the drama, you can catch it here:
...
There are countless victims, and most don't even know they are victims. As children, they were forced to attend churches that practiced religious abuse. This was accomplished by hiring and then supporting hell, fire, and brimstone ministers who interpreted scripture according to their own authoritarian, domineering, controlling personalities.
Refusing to respect the varying levels of sensitivity among their members, these ministers used subjective guilt and shame to...
Pat Robertson has predicted a major terrorist attack in '07.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id...
Has he no faith in the Department of Homeland Security, and the Bush administration to prevent such an attack?
I have a few predictions of my own for '07:
1. Bush's ratings will improve by at least 5 percent after diligent international diplomatic efforts and bipartisan strategic planning finally pay off.
2. McCain will maintain his lead among presidential...
Is this New Years Day like an unopened bottle of champagne, full of repressed possibilities? Is this just Another New Years Day, or are you going to make this one special. I'll share two of my New Years resolutions. One is to continually improve on my songwriting, singing, guitar-playing and recording skills. The second is to become even more humble than I already am :)
Are you prepared to deliver more than empty promises this year? Will you make your...
