Day Eight: The marathon begins

This is the first of many marathons. The title is End of the World which should conclude when I go see the new disaster film 2012 on Friday. The first part of this is scheduled through tomorrow evening when I will heap more goodness to the mix. Keep the music flowing I say. All night long We goin' pitch a Wang Dang Doodle all night long.

Lately, I have been noticing many of the ghost hunting shows have focused their attention on closed up psychiatric hospitals. The misunderstandings of mental disorders have led to some barbaric practices that have left a permanent psychic scars that have never healed even though the patients have died. I think about the pain of dealing with my disorder, and I believe that if I went through what I went though hideous treatments I would windup as a casualty of those systems. I have felt that my home was haunted, but I realized I was the ghost in my own life. This what depression really feels like. If some of the evidence that is collected at sites of haunting points to the reality that Death is not a cure what ails you. there must be a better way to handle all the suffering. Medications works, but it is just a piece of the puzzle. I say this in regards to what my cousin asked me after my uncle passed away. "Is Death a cure for Alcoholism?" I said "yes and everything else." I could be wrong. Dead wrong.

Let's brighten up our moods and play some music. As Frank Zappa once said, "Shut Up And Play Your Guitar.":
