"Maybe the problems simply co-dependancyyyyyyyy"

I haven'tbeen good lately. I haven't been good to myself or others. I've been short with undeserving people. Ive been paying service to food and drink that doesn't deserve my attention. I've been angry at things I can't help and lashing out because of things I can.

    I don't know if anyone can relate. But I am prone to falling into relationships in which I'm completely co-dependant on. In which I lose all autonomy into. It doesn't matter how much I  strain, how much I lose, how ever many years go by. As long as that relationship is fed. 

  You watch It use others, you make excuses for it. Because you're different. It needs you more than you need it. Yea it treats others poorly,but not you because you actually contribute and you've seen its weaknesses.

  So the years go by and you're no longer who you were. You've self medicated so much to get along with that relationship that you're not that funny happy kid. You're meaner. You're angrier. You're fatter. Your energy for things you like is gone to make room for your relationship. You even have fear and anxiety doing the fun things because it might take you away from that relationship.

  And It takes. Sure. Yea, It takes.

Until one day it takes too much. Just one taste too much and you see it for what it is. An overbearing and Uncaring energy that has been looking for someone poor sucker like you. It knows it has you by the balls. And the when it knows youve seen it for what it actually is. That relationship bears it's teeth and smiles with its eyes and dares you to walk out. It even opens the door for you. And you  almost feel it:freedom.

But instead you take another swig to sober you up and you sit down and distract youself for the next ten years.

Knowing this. Seeing this. Feeling this. Why am I still going back?

First Blog post of the new year

I'm sitting in a hair salon. I decided to drop in instead of calling. Because that's how I do. I hate waiting. I hate it. Maybe that comes from not having a car since 2014. Maybe I've always have been that way.  

Ive always walked when the shit hits the fan. If people dare me to walk I will. I hate waiting for rides. I know I've talked about this before. But calling for rides, or asking for rides bothers the hell out of me.  

Maybe that's the reason why I don't have people take me to parties. I can't  stand waiting to leave. Waiting for the designated driver to be done. Or even being forced to stay over night 

That's another excuse coming from my self imposed exhile.  

Other than that may make a quickie podcast for Thursday.   

I did drop two podcasts on Monday. The first is my New Years eve spectacular. The second was a podcast I recorded back in December.  

Happy New Year  

Take care

And so it's cold.

I am hunkered down. Awaiting the time to work. This is to be the coldest week of (hopefully) winter. And so, I am at the mercy of people giving me rides ( I'm not on a death mission) I don't like asking for rides. My problems shouldn't be their problems. 

I'm nervous about change. I've been keeping my head down for years. Part of me wants to stay in arrested development, victim of Peter pan syndrome. And stuffing my high cheek bones in sand. But it needs to happen. Old Eliott needs to look back next 2018 with pride. Not with resentment at that young Eliott wasting time.  

Ive been following National and World News the last two days. So much pain and uncertainty caused by world leaders. These are getting more vocal. We can fight and chase leaders from office after office like viewing meme after meme. Or we can become better at governing ourselves until a leader is no longer necessary. Or maybe I'm still thinking with a youthful heart.  

Can we stop killing animals for their aphrodisiac properties please?  

Take care
