MANIC

One of the sides of being Bipolar is being Manic. Some people see this side of it as a Superpower. You feel like you are invincible, but what really happens is that your focus goes too deep into something it shouldn't. Today was one of those days for me. I woke up, skipped breakfast, didn't brush my teeth and started to clean the oven. By the time it was 1pm I noticed that I had not taken my medication. I was already off and do not know by how many days. I choose not to leave the house because in this state I tend to drive reckless. But by racing thoughts just kept going and seeing so many things to do. It could be called procrastination, by knowing that I have more important things to do than to mop the floors five times. Today is not my laundry day and I even did that. You would think that my house is spotless on a day like this, but it isn't. It's like an Avalanche that I set off to continue non stop at tasks that are not important. Next thing you know it is 9pm and the main thing I wanted to do today was catch up on my reading for my University classes. Now I am sad. I feel as if nothing was accomplished even though I did about 30 things. I did do something good yesterday that I will use to help ground me. I bought a sterling silver ring that states "If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it." Isaiah 58:11. It's going to be 10pm I think this verse has given me the strength to accomplish one thing that I had in mind this morning when I woke up. I am going to brush my teeth, take a shower and get some reading before I fall asleep.

Never too old to learn new tricks

Next month I will turn 50 years old. I am currently a student at the University of Rhode Island. I thank the Finish What You've Started program for the push I needed to come back to school. This is part of my digital writing class assignment. Looking forward to improving on my writing skills.

Project in the works!

Forgive me for sounding like Nick Bottom in the 2015 Broadway Musical “Something Rotten!” when I say the phrase ‘God, I Hate Shakespeare!’

For my writing course, we are supposed to be starting work on a project we will present in pairs for the final meeting, in a sort of, WRT235 version of a world’s fair.

My partner and I Writing&Rhetoric majors with double majors in different topics. She studies English and I study History, who fits that criteria better than Shakespeare? Meh, not too many other options.

I am genuinely a fan of one of Shakespeare’s works: “The Taming of the Shrew”. the treatment of women in this play should be taken with a grain of salt, as it is in no way acceptable by modern standards, but, what about most of his other works? Every person has at least one they somewhat enjoy for the comedy or drama /from/ the time period.

How is it that the works of one many continue to plague storytelling? Theatre? Media? Rhetoric? How can one man accomplish the work of many creative minds and when will he finally go away?

For today, I wanted to post a visual aid for what I want my blog to focus on, I hope this will make things easier to understand for future posts!

Test Post

First post! Yay!

Mostly posting this to make sure my Tumblr works correctly! This blog is currently designed for a course I’m taking in college this semester, but who knows! Maybe this will become something I rely on long after the Fall of 2018!

Change is a Continuum

We live in a world that is ever changing. So much happens on a day to day basis its often hard to keep up with it. But as our surroundings change our minds change. We often don’t know what to do with new information that differs from our pre-existing frameworks and we find ourselves in quite confusing and awkward positions. But what can you do about change? Almost nothing, its the only constant in life. Almost just as constant as technology. As our society grows and continues to develop, much of what we do grows and develops with it. Its survival, dependence, and the continuum of technology as we enter a new era.
