I was struck more as an artist by the lyrical resonance with a stalker, something I hadn't realized when I wrote the lyrics. In hindsight, I suppose I'd take the cdbaby reference off the vid. So to the extent some were criticizing the commercial dimension, guitty as chareged. I'm more struck by those who demonize this poor kid and think he should roast in Hell. My God what did he do? Plunge into insanity, attempt murder and kill himself? I say RIP, poor kid.<BR/><BR/>normAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-91294440048578613002008-07-05T05:42:00.000-07:002008-07-05T05:42:00.000-07:00How cool that you corresponded with Paul Tournier!...How cool that you corresponded with Paul Tournier! A friend recommended "The Meaning of Persons". If I remember correctly, I had trouble finding much information about the author. I was rather "smitten" with him after reading his book, and curious.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to look for a copy of "Guilt and Grace"--in English! I think there is also a book by him called "The Meaning of Gifts" that I wanted to look into finding.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640313956929464854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-68701881716774403912008-07-04T10:46:00.000-07:002008-07-04T10:46:00.000-07:00Invega should not be cut in half because of the su...Invega should not be cut in half because of the sustained delivery system; you can cut Risperdal in half, which is the same drug but shorter-acting.<BR/><BR/>I found Invega worsened my depression when they added it because I wasn't responding to ECT. It reminded me a little of Haldol, the worst drug I know.<BR/><BR/>For antipsychotic use in bipolar disease, I prefer Abilify first and Zyprexa second. Risperdal, the simpler form of Invega, has over a 10% incidence of somonolence--what you describe as "drowsy." Very common. Either you need to get used to the drug, have it decreased, or switch meds. Talk to your shrink. My license is inactive. ;-)<BR/><BR/>CEC. E.

But I had never seen it edited with your music attached, which was a different experience altogether, and on which you sound a little bit like Robert Plant backed up by Led Zepplin.<BR/><BR/>But in setting the video to music, haven't you intentionally exploited an aberration? You can hardly complain about the effects of that!<BR/><BR/>I do not think I am deceived to think that some who have stopped visiting my blog were formerly drawing some sustenance for surviving depression, and maybe they are finding comfort elsewhere now.<BR/><BR/>(BTW, I'm by no means happy with the poem posted, if ever I shall be. ;-0) <BR/><BR/>CEC.

Can't you feign a couple of slip-ups?<BR/><BR/>To my g/f's shock and dismay, my video of troubled suicide Ricardo Lopez is far and away the most watched. Though he was a poor kid who tried (and failed) to kill pop star Bjork, many people criticize me for praying for his RIP, wanting him to roast in hell for as near-slaying even as they re-elect Dubya to kill a couple thousand more in Iraq. Go figur the thought process.<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqPWb0LgAnc <BR/><BR/>normAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-11633997625643590172008-07-02T23:03:00.000-07:002008-07-02T23:03:00.000-07:00Yes, it was.
