1 Out Of 16 Aint Bad

ADD symptoms vary and occur in clusters: poor attention and concentration, behavior problems, distractibility, poor listening and lack of follow-through, restlessness, fidgeting, hyperactivity, impulsivity, moodiness, sleep problems, defiance, poor school performance, disorganization, social difficulties, aggressiveness, lack of friends.

Well at least I have friends. 1 out of 16 aint bad

People with ADD also have relationship difficulties. They often attract others who have some sort of dopamine imbalance. Looking back I can see that now.

Jack took my mother to Cotsco to pick up a few things. According to my mother Jack kept taking things off the shelves and putting them in the cart. A years supply of popsicles, a 40 gallon jar of mustard, the entire DVD collection of Twin Peaks the series and other assorted items. When they got to the register the bill came to one thousand dollars and Jack threw in a few packs of gum. He paid the bill and my mother said there was nothing she could do to stop him. I find that hard to believe. The point is, this kind of extreme behavior became apparent early on with the thousand dollar tip.

Oh and I really like the title: "People I Didn't Mean to Know"

Scrubbing One's Ass With Toothbrushes And Other Titles

Reflecting back to my first date back in the day with Jack. We were at Pizzeria Uno with a few other people and the the bill came to ninety dollars. Jack left a tip of a thousand dollars. I've blogged about this before and I'll blog about this again. Wouldn't I think that was a really scary sign if someone is tipping ten times the amount of the bill? What does it take for me to get a hint?I decided to write a tell all Ebook describing every embarrassing detail. Shoot, pride is over rated. I'm writing a page a day until it's finished. I plan to describe everything including the way my mother in law used to scrub her ass with old toothbrushes. Any ideas of what I should title it?

Ski Week?

Ski Week really. My daughter's school is closed for the whole week starting Monday and it's called Ski Week. I'm so glad because I was just planning to head up to slopes and book a room at the Chalet, Not!!!

When I went to school in New York we had winter and spring break but no Ski Week. What should Ski Week be called in my world. Oh shit I can't get a babysitter now because school is closed and I still have to go to class week? I need to get 2,000 dollars worth of dental work but I only have a quarter of the money week? Clean the pasta sauce and other shit stuck to the floor week? My cat got lost in the pile of laundry in the closet week? Ok these are not funny, my friend Black Suede had some funny ones but you get the point.

Diary Of An Indentured Servant

You ever notice that kids could give a fuck if you're sick or not. Last year I had whooping cough and It felt like I was being suffocated every time I coughed. One time I was in the bathroom leaning over the sink coughing and hoping I wouldn't pass out because then who would get my daughter the gluten free cookie she was demanding in that moment. Either she thought I was coughing as part of a performance art piece or she just didn't give a shit that I was gasping for air. Either way it doesn't look for my old age when I'm sitting in a pile of my own urine. Will she even  change my bedpan? I wonder.

Ghetto Life

The woman across the street damn near cursed me out because I asked her if I could get into her yard with the feral cat foundation to catch the two feral cats that ran into her yard. A woman from the organization has already helped me to get ten cats fixed and released. If I can get these last two I would be almost done but the lady said that her cat has been missing ever since I started trapping. I did my best to assure her I knew nothing about her cat but she continued to go off on me.  A crack head interrupted me to ask if I had any recycling. Ahhhh, ghetto life.


Authenticity or Sanity?

My goal in life is no longer fame and fortune, riches and wealth although I do want those things. What I really want is to not give a flying shit what people think of me or even what I think of myself. My goal in life is to do what I do and share what I share without giving a fuck how it sounds, or how it will benefit me or get people to relate to me. Now some people may think that I already do this but trust me, you have no idea how much of my true self I hold back for fear I will be 5150'd (involuntary hold in the nuthouse). I mean this. I have this friend who is really crazy but this friend is a genius. This friend is also a minute from being 5150'd so what is the message here? Be your true self and risk involuntary hold. Or to not worry about being carted away, just lead an authentic life. These are the things I ponder as I watch That Girl on MeTv.

Wikipedia:
Section 5150 is a section of the California Welfare and Institutions Code (specifically, the Lanterman–Petris–Short Act or "LPS") which allows a qualified officer or clinician to involuntarily confine a person deemed to have a mental disorder that makes them a danger to him or her self.

Urban Dictionary:
clinically insane
that nicca gone 51/50 and murdered his moms.

An Artists Nightmare!

Today I got really mad because I was sitting in geology class feeling trapped by rocks. Quartz,  slate, limestone and granite, I just couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't remember what an igneous rock is, I don't know what makes sedimentary rock nor can I draw the rock cycle. What the fuck am I going to do? This is a fucking nightmare! I'm not cut out for this shit! I can't tell you if the rock has small prisms in it, I can't, I can't, I can't! I feel trapped. gagged, bound, I'm choking, suffocating in a sea of volcanic rock. I'm being stifled by contact metaphorphism. Somebody help me. I don't know what a silicate is and I can't explain Bowen's Reaction Series. Help, Help, Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn. HARD day. But you still ROCK Gina Gold! So please don't CRUMBLE, just keep it ROLLING. You will get over this MOUNTAIN. I do hope you stepped up the game and weren't in class looking like a ghetto PEBBLES. I know you don't get STONED, but maybe it's time? Lol! xo

I'm Black I Can Say This

Why do Black people say Happy Valentimes Day? For Gods Sakes it's Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they thinking Dinner time, lunch time, Christmas time, Valen time?

I don't get it.

 I hope you had an awesome day. This is the first year in a long time that I can remember feeling not Bitter or Resentful about this Holiday. My daughter was so into it it forced me to have a good attitude. She insisted I make a really big deal, so I did. It forced me to get out of my head and enjoy the day.

Anyway Happy Valentimes Day to all of you.

Do Hookers Need Their own Weed?

This person is an idiot:    


  • Hi , i have a friend who want to create a facebook page for his product , he sells tobacco for hookah's / sheeshash , is it legal to create a page for tobacco ? the company is in the usa and the manufacturer is in the usa , thanks

I was looking in the facebook help forum and I found this. I'm all about creative business ideas but Hash for Hookers, really? There's got to be a better way. And what is so special about his tobacco? Why is tailored for Hookers only? Can't everyone smoke it? Why do hookers even need their own hash? Can some one explain this?

Ok maybe I am the idiot:
Comment:

Um..since u obviously don't smoke weed, I'll take this time to inform you that a hookah is a fancy pipe. Haha it doesn't mean "hooker."

I Do What I Can

The guy in front of me on the financial aid line told me that he just got out of prison for assault. Another perk of attending community college is that you meet all kinds of people that that you might have seen in the street before and kept walking. Anyway the young prisoner asked me if I knew of any job openings and if he had a look like a hardened criminal. I said I didn't know of any openings and suggested that he should grow his hair out because he looked like a  Nazi skin head with sharp features and stood out like a sore thumb. He thanked me for the advice and said he would grow his hair out right away. He seemed very appreciative.
I try to be of service.
