Confessions of a Lobotomized Zombie and "The Basics" Meme.

It's Friday ya bastards!!

My brain is still swirling around inside the fog of my night time crazy pills and so I'm barely able to say, understand and write the word, "Creativity" let alone implement it. This is how it goes when living with a severe mental illness, the drugs have a hangover that is heavier than being stoned sometimes. It's basically a chemical lobotomy. I am in full zombie mode until about noon--thus just one of the reasons that I am disabled and can not work.

When I do have to wake up early to borrow our one and only car to schlep my Calvin ass as my wife calls it (after Calvin the cartoon characters lil' butt) to my psychiatrist and psychologist offices then I have to drink coffee which always makes me anxious as a crack head throughout the day. In my stupor of waking up before I get my full hours of rest I stagger around like a sleepwalker and do things like walk around the house for about 5 minutes with no thought as to what to do.

So usually my wife has to point me in the right direction to get my pants on, etc. I also have no sense of time when I wake up like that. I usually feel like it's about 3 A.M. Anyway, so while my brain attempts to power up the virus riddled computer that is up there somewhere, I am going for a meme today that I found over on Rain's blog.
