Dysthymia sucks

You know something isn’t right when you start to dread something you’ve been looking forward to for 9 months.

I’m beginning think I may need different meds, because I haven’t been this down since I got divorced.

No matter where you go ...

Feeling very down in the dumps today.

A number of friends going through events I can’t really help them with, as much as I want to … I recognize that some things people have to deal with in their own time, in their own manner.

I’m also feeling very isolated & alone myself, [...]

Motivation (and lack thereof)

It’s a gorgeous spring afternoon … and what am I doing? I’m sitting on my couch composing this stupid blog entry about my complete and utter lack of motivation to get outside and do anything.

I think part of my malaise today comes from reading Mama Grrrlie’s most recent blog entry on turning 39. MG [...]

NUMBNESS

I have not felt a thing for weeks. But getting up and going to work on time I did what needed to be done, then rushed home. And even the main streets, those ancient charmers, Failed to amuse me, and the fight between The upstairs couple was nothing but loud noise. None of [...]

Rider Down: Frank Vandenbroucke

Another rider meets a very sad end way too early … l’enfant terrible though he may have been, there is no doubt that VDB was one of the most natural talents of recent years, and that if he had been able to conquer his demons, his career would have been a long and storied one.

Summertime Blues

I hate summer. Yeah … I said it. I hate summer. Spring, winter and fall? Love them, but I can’t stand the heat of summer.

I’m pretty sure I’ve written somewhere in the past about how I seem to get seasonal affective disorder, but in reverse … I relish the winter, and always seem to [...]

I find this sad …

Having battled my own demons over the past few years, I find this story to be really sad … I know that I gave Tyler a lot of shit on my blog over the past few years, but even so, he always struck me as one of the most gracious people in professional cycling; especially [...]

I got nothing …

… nothing in the news I really want to comment about; no new music to share … I can’t even think of anything personal to share that’s worth writing about.

For me, that’s not generally a good thing; it often is an indication I’m entering an emotional trough, that I’m about to have a [...]

If I had a superpower …

Every once in awhile, I come across some sort of personality quiz that either asks what sort of superpower a person wishes they have, or by asking other questions, tells one what superpower they have.

Except none of them are really all that accurate, at least not when it comes to my own wished-for superpower.

Divorce-induced insomnia

You know what sucks the most about not being married anymore, aside from not being able to see what was (and may still be) my best friend everyday?

Going to bed alone.

Not because of sex, but just having someone there … it’s very comforting. I don’t think I’ve had a really good night’s sleep [...]
