I'd like to see Mercedes Schlapp a bear.

Shut Facebook down until after the election. Just shut it right the fuck down. People can email their friends a picture of what they had for lunch if they have to.

What if I don't have any free time ? Can I still do it ? I don't know if this is legit because you haven't said what kind of fabulous car you now drive.

well, I wrote this little scream when I was 14...and 51 years later I'm still here--

DepressionIf you listenYou can hear time rushing on.Ticking by, frustratingly fast.Sounds of time rushing past you,leaving you behindif you don't startmoving.

Don't beat your head against it,trying to stop it,hold onto a moment a little while

longer.You'll get left behind.The world moves on. --Time passes -- too quickly,sometimes not fast enoughbut always at the same rate.

But if you stop to listenyou will loseprecious time toward the inevitable.

Stopping, getting off to dreamis foolishness.You come back to realityto the same problems,sometimes worse,still there to solve,from empty dreams.

If you gain something in dreaming,it is lost, broken,in returning to reality.

My dreams disappoint mebecause I cannot have them to keep.They are beautiful,as close to paradise as I can imagine.

If I can get a piece, only a piece,of them,I will not be as happy.It is almost all or notthing.

Even as I dream, I am losing minutesof realitywihich I could be using.It is all so futile,Yet so beautiful.

It's hard to come back when you don't know where you are because your emotional compass has been ground to dust. Also, too, guns are a major no-no in Japan.

But statistically speaking shouldn't some police be f**kable?

Colbert called Mercedes Schlapp a "Trump advisor and woman named after the sound of a luxury car running over a poor person."

Suspect it's been several years since anything on him went wham-bam. As far as him saying thank you? "Check's in the mail."

Back in the early 90s I went to a U2 concert where the opening acts were NWA and The Sugarcubes. Man that was a good show.

Ah, time. A concept that is hazy at best for me. Depression has no clock. It doesn't recognize time's passage. There are huge swaths of my life that are lost to me. I dream too much and am left exhausted. I don't know why I'm like this. I wonder where the person is that I wanted to be because what I am now is double plus ungood.

I certainly hope you're not like me. I live in a house but I have no home. I don't feel safe anywhere. How can I when the thing I fear/hate most lives in my head?https://www.youtube.com/wat...

yeah, all that. best not to dwell on anything but the present. that' s why I'm still here and not an overdose. Blaming myself for shit had to go. those two warring parts of myself -- one had to get tossed, and it was the punitive part. That hungry, draining part. Well, there's so much that's beautiful and I am running out of "time" so I just am getting on with seeing the beautiful. I'mlucky I am in a position to do that, but that was on purpose to. there is no time like the https://emojipedia-us.s3.du...
