NOW!

At the suggestion of my Co-Governor Hauzor the Christo-4, I have purchased the audio book of "The Power of Now" by a guy who went so crazy that he went sane. So sane that he helps the crazy. Now having made peace with the fact that I have gone so crazy that I will reach a higher level of sane, I am excited to start listening to this. I got through the introduction in the shower tonight. In the introduction the author, Eckhart Tolle, explains how he went so crazy and how crazy he went. Sure was crazy. So was I (and sometimes I still am) so I could identify a lot with him.
Well, I've been worried about infinity and the passage of time (I go back and forth with that). A seven hour audio book is close to infinity and it sure passes a lot of time. So I guess it's a good excercise as well as good information.
Now, again the title of the book is "The Power of Now" which is something a guy like me with my problems needs to know about. But if "Now" is old hat to the reader of this blog, then let me suggest something else. The power of March 15th at the Blarney Stone in Wrigleyville. The Co-Governors of Space will be there teaching the Koans of Komedy and the audience will respond as a whole with one hand clapping.

NOW!

later.

Medication and Co-Govs.

It's amazing what the right medicine can do. Without it, I couldn't see the point in living or how we're not all being obliterated by infinitiy. With the right medication, I feel a lot better. In fact, I can kind of laugh about the idea of any kind of doom scenario. I'm not out of the woods but I feel much better now than I did even four days ago.
I'm growing my chest hair out and I intend to wear it in a B-52 hairstyle.
I think everyone should be aware that the Co-Governors of Space are still moving ever closer to an awesome weekly showcase at the Blarney Stone. We have a lot of our favorite local comedians lined up to perform along with some other groups before we perform. This thing is snowballing. It should be a good thing if it keeps up like this.
You know what I figured out that I've been missing? Some thing that I've been forgetting about the passage of time is a thing called familiarity. Couldn't get used to anything without the passage of time. That's a pretty good incentive to be in the present moment.
Another great incentive is if you find the present moment to be at 8pm on a Wednesday starting March 15th, you should be in the present moment and in the Blarney Stone in Wrigleyville for some Co-Governors of Space action!
And also, God, whatever it is (and I know this leaves the atheists out) is good and wonderful and powerful and in control and contains everything, dimension, time, thought, reality in all realities. But if you don't find that to be entertaining enough, then come on down to the Blarney Stone at 8pm on Wednesdays starting March 15th!

Amazing what the right meds can do.

Nuts to me!

I went to my first "intensive outpatient" group therapy sessions today. Good day. Tomorrow I go to that then my therapist. Then the next day I do the group therapy then I go to my psychiatrist. Then after that, I go to group therapy followed by running in a tight circle until morning or I fall down. After that...the weekend.
I'm starting to feel pretty good most of the time now. But I'm still hung up on time. But one thing I'm learning is that when I picture the passage of time, I'm picturing that when one moment is gone, everything in that moment is gone which is untrue. Not only is everything still around, I believe we'll all always be around...of course that just leads me back into the infinity problems but that's where this android brain just has to lift that loop out and put it into the "paradox" box and not worry too much about it. I still believe that all time is always happening and that we just can't access it all in our limitted physical form and lifetime and but that's pretty boring stuff to people reading a blog

Anyway, the important thing is that the Co-Governors of Space have a new gig. Apparently my Co-Governor McNultroid has made diplomatic relations for the purpose of establishing a base at "The Blarney Stone" in Wrigleyville. It starts in March and has an open run on Wednesdays at 8pm.
I like squirrels...until they start to advance on me.

I stubbed my brain.

Hey everybody who reads this,
I regret to inform all of you by blog (especially those of you who live across the hall from me) but I just got out of the hospital for being depressed. Turns out I'm bi-polar (third time I've typed that last sentence today). Life is altogether too complicated for a person to try and know everything about but goddangit I keep trying.
To Julia, Cathy and I are sorry we didn't tell you but we were preoccupied. We really would have told you (living across the hall and being a good "crisis buddy" and all), but I was in the hospital and Cathy was with me when she could be.
Ed, Ed Potatoe Head...I know you continue to encourage me about the present but you did that back then and this is now...No...wait THAT was then and THIS is now...wait THAAAAT was THEN and THIIIIIISSS was--d'oh!
And that's why I went to the hospital. I'm still not %100 but I'm getting better. I think the meds might work this time. If not, I guess I try try again.
Oh...todays wild theory...
Same one as before I think:

All the moments are still there you just can't access them all right now...Ouch...that's hospital talk.
