Reading my written report

Post Reply New Topic

It's a cliché---but a very pertinent one.

Insight is the first step towards realization.

You've made quite a bit of money in your "oblivious crazy state." Not that you're not oblivious, I would bet that you'll succeed even more. And you'll keep the money this time, bank at least half of it.

I can relate to that. Having mental and emotional ages that are decades behind my chronological and intellectual ages, I run into that issue quite a bit. It's a tough one to live with.

I always have the best of intentions...but then..BLOOP* gone....

When I was 13, I went around the neighborhood cleaning gutters. I made $80.00 a one week farting around after school. Minimum wage was $2.00 an hour. I made what a worker would make working a full week. AND it was cash.

Comics man...Spidey, Bats. Torch, all those cats. man.....

But, the more and more withdrawn I've become over the years, beginning with the sensory overloads moving to NYC at 28, the worse my ability to move forward and unleash the inner hustler in me.

A part of it also learning balance. I've never had that. It is better now than before after the good folks at Elmhurst and PSCH put me back together. But, still broken quite a bit.

You might be broken....but you have the glue.

I worked at Elmhurst Hospital the summer of 1979--in the medical library. It was part of the Summer Youth Employment Program. During my breaks, I used to read the books about genetic disorders.

One day, I decided, for the hell of it, to stay up all night, then go to work. I came to work disheveled. The boss sent me home to change clothes. I came back, and proceeded like normal.
