Nothing says ‘Forgive me for my mental-illness-induced patch of blogging suckery’ like a free CD, am I right?
Monday, January 4, 2010Pardon me while I cop right the hell out and resort to giving away a CD in an effort to distract you from the fact that I have so far been unable to carve out the time and/or muster the energy to write that explanatory post about that previously mentioned holistic treatment that Zan and I recently underwent. I promise, I’m going to do so imminently … just not tonight.
But, hey, as my brain frantically flails about in search of equilibrium while adjusting to the cessation of several years of twice-daily doses of Wellbutrin, as well as to the supposed mental reorganization taking place as a result of the aforementioned, yet-to-be-explained treatment (and I’m sure the suspense is positively killing you, but hang in there), it only seems fitting that I offer up a free copy of “I Dreamed a Dream,” the debut album from “Britain’s Got Talent” winner Susan Boyle (because I’m sure as hell never going to listen to it), whose backstory is a sort of antidepressant in and of itself (and, yes, I know everyone on the planet has seen this by now, but I could still use a little pick-me-up, so fer crissakes, humor me, wouldja?):
Alrighty then, let’s get to the giving-away part, shall we? Leave a comment below in which you describe what you do to cheer yourself up when you’re feeling blue. I will leave comments open for, like, the next day or so. And then I will close them. And then one of you will receive a brand-new, shrink-wrapped CD … just as soon as I summon the energy to drag my ass down to the post office (which, if you care to check in with previous contest-winner Deanna, you’ll learn could take a bit longer than one would like … but I’ll try to do better this time).
And I swear, kids, it is going to get all kinds of fun and interesting and entertaining around here again real soon. Even if I have to, like, rob a bank wearing a cow suit or something. Whatever it takes to create high quality blog content for my adoring fans. (And please keep in mind my devotion to you all when I publish the post-bank-robbery “I need bail money and legal representation” entry.)
COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. Winner will be named in the next post. Thanks!

Eat. Drink. Snuggle with my dog.
I know this is lame but I call my mom and she makes me laugh and I feel better soon after that
invite all 18 grandkids over! who has time to be depressed with all that sweet noise.
I eat everything in sight, spend money impulsively, and consider doing drugs again. Then I remember that just makes things worse, and I do some yoga. Trying to talk myself into a daily walk too, but so far no luck.

I bought my Mum that CD for Christmas. She reckons its cracking! Mind you, she likes Manilow and Neil Diamond, too. Oh… and musicals. And The Eagles. Damn… the flaw in my argument over my Mum’s lack of taste in music…!

When I am feeling down (which thank g-d has not been in a while, yay for prozac) I take out my little photo album that my friend bought me. On the cover is this 40’s model in a pretty red bathing suit, laying on the beach with nice vintage looking houses and the ocean waves crashing behind her. On top in ripped out magazine letters, it reads, ” I live in fantasy land and I have oceanfront property!” Inside is empty.
It always makes me smile. Especially because when she first bought it for me, I didn’t get it. Now, I get it.
