A blog about living life in a depressed state everyday...


Welcome to my life. I am a pretty ordinary person. I have a home which I am currently sharing with my daughter and her small family IE kid and boyfriend. I work the night shift at a tape factory which means when I am not at work my favorite hobby is sleeping. I am single and hardly date which means not at all. I have a cat, Harley Quinn and a dog, Moose. Though I am single I have been in a lifelong relationship with depression. There have been times when I have willed myself out of bed, and others when I could not even do that.

Several years ago I lost my mother and both sisters to different forms of cancer all within a year of each other, one of them dying on Christmas Eve. This did nothing to help my depression and actually was a catalyst in picking up an old addiction that I had laid to rest for nearly two years. The beloved fight with the bottle. Not drinking near as much as I used to but drinking more than I need to.

I am the head of my family because all the adults are dead. This means that the kids are running the candy store seeing that those of us who are still here have never really grown up enough to be responsible to head anything. However I am the oldest living relative so that makes me the head. Where as my Mom and sisters would handle things I just try to keep everybody calm and out of jail. For the most part we all do our own thing but we still rely on each other emotionally, that makes us close.

I have never been married because I believe men cannot handle my mood swings, well the ones I have known anyway.
Yes, I have had my share of relationships, one dysfunctional relationship right after the other. The last one lasted a little over 6 years. It was inevitable it would end for he was just as crazy as me.

As I mentioned before I have a child, a daughter who I believe is just as depressed as I am. I say that because she acts exactly like me. She can also be quite the moody little dickens. She and her boyfriend live here with me along with her little girl. Her boyfriend is a good guy. He has a twin brother and both of them have aspirations of being actors. You can scoff and laugh but for living in a little Podunk town like this they have managed to get acting gigs. Yes they are extras but they are getting bigger parts all the time. Cannot go in to any details about their last endeavor, but the casting director asked them to come and film a few days. I know it's not a big part but it is a speaking part and it is something. Like I said, very impressive considering where we live which is right in the middle of anywhere America.

I have four nieces and two nephews who will make appearances from time to time in this blog. Unlike most cousins and aunties we all grew up together, because my parents had me late in life when my two sisters were half grown, I am a year and a half older than my oldest niece. This was something I used to hold over her head with great pride when we were younger. I find myself nowadays not mentioning it so much seeing as how I keep getting closer and closer to fifty. My oldest niece and middle niece live here where I do. My other two nieces live in Florida. They are my oldest sister, Janey's kids.

I also have two n'er do well nephews who live in Tennessee. They are the sons of middle sister Dana. I don't see them as much as I like but they both live lives of such turmoil, chaos, and drama I find the less I know about what is going on the better. Each of my nieces and nephews have children. They range in ages from 29-7. Some of their children have children making me and 3 of my nieces grandmothers.

So why do I feel the need to make this blog. I don't know except that writing has always been cathartic for me. It is a way to let off steam and express myself. A means by which I calm down. My biggest problem with writing is trying to figure out how to wrap something up so I can move on to the next idea.

So here it is. My blog, Depressed.

Okay I will admit that when it comes to politics I am probably more of a fence sitter than anything else. I have opinions about things but I don't try to ram them down people's throats, and I don't belittle people who do not think and feel as I do. It is called being an adult. That being said the state of anarchy that has arisen in this country since the elections in November has become ridiculous. I don't like Trump either, but I do not feel the need to take to the streets and riot in the name of protest to get my point across. It is a done deal. He is the president, quit your damn whining and unlawful behavior and get back to your lives.

I saw a video on Facebook of a little kid who started a fire and he did it with the approval of his parents because and I quote, "Fuck the president! That's why!" I am sure mom and dad are so proud of the little hoodlum they are raising. This is the party that is open minded and tolerant? I don't think so. This is a mockery of a party that used to stand for the betterment of America, and now it is reduced to a a group of whiny ass cry babies who are throwing a massive fit because their candidate did not win.

No I am not a Trump supporter. No I did not vote for Trump, but here is a newsflash I did not vote for Hillary either. My candidate not only did not get elected, but a majority of Americans did not know he was on the ballot. Instead everyone was fed the false assumption that we only had 2 candidates to choose from in this election when indeed we had 26 according to International Business Times. So while a majority of America felt like they were choosing between the lesser of two evils we really did have a much broader selection that was not being represented.

So you don't like Trump, get over it. He is the president. He is our president and he is not going anywhere. Put your Molotov cocktails and your BIG FUCKING MOUTHS away and get on with it. If I offended anybody I don't care this is my blog and my opinions are not open for debate. The craziness has to stop. You want to protest? Fine but learn the difference between peaceful assembly, which is legal, and inciting a riot, which is not. If you are too stupid to know the difference I suggest you do some research on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and see what a peaceful demonstration is all about.

And one more thing. Would Hollywood please shut up? I really don't care if a bunch of overpaid, over rated, spoiled celebrities have political views or not. Are we actually going to take our cues and follow a bunch of people who get paid for playing pretend all day? These celebrities are here for our entertainment, no one wants to hear or see you taking a political stance. Just because you play a politician on TV or a movie does not mean you are one, or are informed for that matter. Let us think for ourselves.

In conclusion I just want it to be known that I have spoken my peace. America! Love it or leave it! Oh that's right. No other country wants your dumb asses!
