Our Histrionic Media

 


Today I am thankful for discernment. 


First it was a man-mutated bat virus. 

Then it was killer spiders. 

Now, it is a killer asteroid with a sacrilegious moniker. 

Watching the news is starting to give me a headache.

Why in the world is the media instigating fear?  

Please be mindful of where you direct your attention. 

We get what we focus on.  

Love ya, 

S. 

I found some Howard Jones sheet music while browsing Ebay.  I put a bid on it.  We'll see.  I'm too busy to check my phone.  I didn't even know it existed. 

Maybe this will help me move the creepy nightmares out of my head. 

The probability is near 0 that I'll get my synth back from the adult kiddo living in the basement.  I just bought her an acoustic guitar, so maybe I'll get lucky.

NEXT DAY EDIT:  Originally, I joked about buying an Oberheim OB-X so I could play Rush's 'Tom Sawyer' to cover for the nightmares.  Then, I realized I don't like keyboards and I wanted to get myself something I'd actually play - so I went hunting for basses in CovidTown. 

Didn't really have time to play guitars that other people are touching. 

Then, I decided that I need to learn how to do music therapy and that bass isn't really the best instrument for that - so I thought about buying myself an acoustic electric standard guitar to learn on. 

But - now that my adult kiddos are hoarding the instruments (must run in the family), I'm really thinking about buying another synth. 

I think I'll just wait until the city opens back up to decide what to do. 

Besides, the dreams are not as nightmarish.  They are finally few and far between.  I don't think I'll be screaming out in horror until the next Mercury Retrograde.  Thank goodness. 

No - I didn't get the sheet music. 

There will be plenty of other opportunities, if I'd just open my eyes.  
 
I bought a book entitled 'Tao of Music'.  Maybe it'll inspire me. 

((( Hugs )))

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Recognizing Psychological Abuse

Today I am thankful that I recognize relationship abuse.   I'm still sad. I thought Steve would be different.  For all the talk about anarchy and freedom, it simply didn't exist in our relationship.  I blamed the fact that I couldn't get my ex-husband to move on.  I blamed myself. It doesn't matter.  It is weird having my ex-husband explain to me how he took control of our relationship years ago.  Yes, he says that he knows what he did.  Yes, he said most men know the games they play.  Yes, most men do it for control. That is validating.  It's painful.  It's validating.  I know what my problems are.  I always do my best to see the best in other people.  I know that no one is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes.  My issue?  Well, I am too forgiving and I feel badly when I break up with someone for hurting me.  I couldn't take it anymore.  I couldn't.  I'm st...

Covid (Edited)

Today I am thankful for unorganized conspiracies: It makes it easier to identify them. Politicians are going to label anyone calling bullshit on the Covid lockdowns a Conspiracy Theorist.   I have a saying; " Conspiracies happen all the time; it's only a theory until it's proven."  This one is easy to prove.  It's obvious that the powers that be threw a lot of shit at a wall to see what would stick.  They're trying to inundate us with useless information and financial pressure to wear us down. That doesn't work on the indominable American spirit. ***** Let's work backwards. The CDC is now lumping flu, pneumonia and Covid19 deaths in one number.  Get this....the numbers have been declining for the past 11 weeks! https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html We are now below pandemic levels. Tell me why Governor Polis and his merry band of naked Democrat Emperors are pushing masks and pushing more lo...
