Maybe It Was An Art Experiment

 


 Am I the only one left who doesn't drink and pop pills? It seems to be the norm, especially before one gets on a plane.

This guy, James Rondeau, the CEO of The Art Institute of Chicago decided to strip during a flight from Chicago to Munich last month. I don't know anymore details, whether he was singing or dancing, but Rondeau has decided to take some time off after his high flying performance.

I know it's tough out there. I took antidepressants for a few years. They were prescribed by a doctor who has a degree and made me check in every month to see how I was doing. But, how does self medicating make anything better? The only difference between Rondeau and the unhoused addicts who look like zombies on the streets is money, or lack of. Rondeau's salary is a million a year. One million dollars. Maybe it was a one time oops. Maybe he just hates flying. Maybe. 

According to worldometer, $360 billion was spent on illegal drugs worldwide last year. That's cocaine, heroin, cannabis and synthetic drugs. 

Rondeau works at the Art Institute, where they have pretty pictures to look at. He can eat at any restaurant in town. He can buy nice suits and shoes and golf clubs and yet...

Everyone has to be numbed before they go out into the world. Well, except for me. I'm not gloating. I'm actually terrified that I might be more right than wrong. People are walking around, driving buses or trucks, or teaching children or piloting planes while on something to make life a little rosier.

If you have made the choice to ingest pills, downed with a drink or two, have at it. But do not go out in public. Stay home. Build a fort of blankets and hide away, numb yourself from reality. Better yet, get some help.

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
