Randomness before bed

I’m tired and should have been in bed hours ago but once again I’m putting it off. My dreams have been manageable, nothing horrific but I still don’t want to sleep.

After therapy I came home and unplugged the telephone. I didn’t want to hear from anyone. I wanted to take a nap but that never happened. I sketched, ate a bit and paced. It seems I hardly ever sit at home. I’m up doing something. Even when I paint I get up and move around then go back to painting. Sometimes I stand up while drawing, other times I move from chair to chair. I just keep moving.

Little Brother

Today my brother turns 26 years old but I haven’t seen him since he was three.

I’m sad. I have a few memories of him but more than that I have a strong emotional response when thinking of him.

I can barely picture his face back then but I remember laying on his chest listening to his heartbeat. What I remember the most is when CPS took him I thought it would kill me, I thought the pain of losing him would kill me.

Blogthings: Cheaper Than a Therapist

They say I’m an eagle, I say I’m a sparrow.

I’m not wise, I’m a wanderer in search of self who happens to pick up a little knowledge along the way. My waters run deep but they don’t seem to really go anywhere. Continue reading ‘Blogthings: Cheaper Than a Therapist’

All The Many Reasons

There are a ton of reasons for why the story about killing my mother was written. To try and explain them all would be too hard and take too long but I was able to sketch a few key reasons for my anger and the grief over the situation. This is a two page spread expressing one major emotion: grief.

The very first picture is about watching my mother hurt by her own family, particularly her mother. Continue reading ‘All The Many Reasons’

I’m Too Old For This

I just spent 30 min chasing this rascal out in the cold.

Yesterday evening, late yesterday evening he was brought to me. As we walked in the house I fell flat on my back with him in my arms then today I chased him for 30 min. He’s cute but I’m so happy he’s being adopted Monday. I’m too old for this shit.

Murder is a lot of work

I spent my entire therapy session today talking about how much my mother should suffer for what she’s done.

I want her to never walk again and be totally dependent on someone else. I want her to have a feeding tube and never taste food again. No freedom, no joy. I want her hair to fall out and for her to weight 500 pounds. I want her bed ridden with bed soars and big black bags under her eyes. I want her bones to ache. Every tiny bone should ache with no end to the pain in sight. I want her eye sight to fail allowing her to only see shadows. I want her locked in a small, dark room with loud techno music and no heat. She should sit naked in her own filth. No dementia, I want her fully aware that she’s suffering.

The worst thing to call somebody is crazy, it’s dismissive, “I don’t understand this person, so they’re crazy” – that’s bullshit. These people are not crazy, they’re strong people, maybe their environment is a little sick.
