Attention:
This
website is probably more suitable for people whom are 18
years of age or older. I use vulgarity from time to time,
and I sometimes talk about things that are generally
inappropriate. Sorry you 1st graders. Beat it.
Yesterday this website received its 10,000th visitor. You know what I
say to that? Booyah Grandma, I told you I could get that many you f*ckin'
whore. Anyway, if I could find out
who that visitor was I'd bake them a
huckleberry pie.
I drove to the video store yesterday, and I drove past that stupid road sign
where the construction zone is again. The sign says "Injure/kill a
worker 15 years + $7,500." What is the purpose of the $7,500? That is nothing compared to 15 years in prison. In
my opinion at least...I wonder
if there has been a convicted person in court yet who said something like,
"I'll do the time, but there is no way in hell I am paying nearly 8 grand." I mean, the punishment might as well be 15 years in prison + you don't get
to wear socks while you're in prison. Actually...that might
even be a worse punishment. Maybe once you are in prison, The Big Kahuna
rapist in there charges you $7,500 to stay off your back.
I was thinking about Tom Cruise yesterday and what if his pregnant
girlfriend (actress Katie Holmes) becomes depressed after the pregnancy just
like what happened to Brooke Shields. Also, how great would it
be if Tom voluntarily did an interview with a depressed person just to prove
his point in some way, then the depressed person flinched every time Tom
spoke or moved...
"Stop flinching. You don't even know why
you're flinching, I do." - Tom
(the crowd gasps at Tom's behavior)
"Leave him alone Tom you sick son-of-a-bitch!" - A random man in the crowd
"Listen, alright. Just listen to me, will ya?!" - Tom
"I agree with him Tom, you're sick. Date someone you're own age!" - A
random woman in the crowd
The news would be all over Tom's interview. And that would be the time Tom's acting career falls apart and he resorts to becoming a porn star for
money under the alias "Cruise Control Tommy" or "Tommy Gun."
And here's a
website made by people who hate Tom Cruise more than myself.
Interested in learning more about psychiatric drugs in test trials that may be
available to the public within the next few years? Then click
here
my friend.
I was curious, has Tom Cruise expressed what he thinks about the disease
schizophrenia or antipsychotic medication at all? I know he basically
said people who take antidepressants are just weak, but why has he touched
on the people who take antipsychotics? Is he afraid to play with
the big boys? Having too much fun picking on the JV squad, eh Tom? He
claims to have GREAT knowledge of all the psychiatric drugs. I am waiting for
the day when Tom says all people who take antipsychotics are weak. When schizophrenic people would hear it they
probably wouldn't know what to think. "Is Tom right? Maybe I am
just taking placebos? Is Tom Cruise the devil?" Also, what is Tom
going to do if his next movie flops as a result of what he said to the media
about psychiatric drugs? Maybe Tom's whole career can fall apart then
he will become depressed and try to cure his depression with daily
multi-vitamins and pushups. At that time, Tom will secretly see a
psychiatrist and receive his diagnosis...depression. Realizing you've
become everything you've hated is one of the worst feelings in my opinion.
Are people born with an urge to kill or couldn't they help it? Or is
it a combination of both?
It is my opinion that people are born murderers, but will not eventually
come to it if given the right environment. It seems like some people
feel this way about murderers: "He would have been fine if he didn't get picked last every day in
recess. He hated being picked last and it eventually built up in him."
A normal person would acknowledge they are not good at something, dislike
the fact they are continuously 'picked last', avoid the daily struggle, and
do something else. Maybe some people are unable to avoid
these situations. Maybe they were born to keep falling into these situations
and therefore, born to eventually collapse. I personally think there is hope for
almost anyone if put
in the right environment. However, I've done very little, a.k.a. no
research,
on this subject.
Here is an interesting link someone posted at the schizophrenia.com
messageboard. It is a website where you can search background
information and qualifications of different psychiatrists (or other doctors)
near where you live. Unfortunately, it does cost a little money
though. I haven't tried it yet, but I probably will soon.
Here is an interesting article someone posted in the schizophrenia.com
message board. It is about a man who was once thought to be a normal
citizen but left for war and came back seemingly psychotic.

Photographed carrying a terrified half-naked Iraqi child to safety in March
of 2003, Army Spc. Joseph Dwyer, of Mount Sinai, was on front pages across
the country, a potent symbol of American heroism.
Friday morning, Dwyer, 29, was arrested in El Paso, Texas, after a
three-hour standoff in which he fired a 9-millimeter handgun in his
apartment.
Family members say they saw Dwyer changed from the cheerful kid who loved to
fish and played golf for Mount Sinai High School. The first sign was
the 50 pounds he put on in six weeks after he returned from Iraq, more than
making up for the 30 pounds he lost during his deployment. Then there
was the car accident in El Paso, caused by Dwyer swerving to avoid what he
thought was a roadside bomb detonating device. Friends told the El
Paso Times that Dwyer had been having nightmares and had been abusing
alcohol and sniffing inhalants.
Friday's incident was the most alarming, said his father, Patrick Dwyer of
North Carolina,
"When he was in the apartment, he was calling for air strikes," Patrick
Dwyer said. "He put a mirror out the window to see what was going on.
He was being very defensive. Totally not connected to reality.
And that's not like him."
I have returned from my 6 day absence. I got a new dog yesterday. She's a yellow lab mix. I named her
Tatum after child actress Tatum O'Neal. I've always like the name
Tatum. I will put a few photos of her on this site once I get the
pictures developed. She's a real cutie pie. And she can run like a
cheetah.
We talked about schizophrenia briefly in psychology class today.
Here's how...We were actually being taught about the two sides
sides/hemispheres of the brain and their purposes. The left
controls reason, logic, detail, spatial abstraction, and mathematics; the
right controls common sense, communication, compassion, relatedness, and
artistic ability. I didn't fully understand how detail and spatial
abstraction don't tie in with artistic ability, but oh well...for now. The teacher said people are either left-brain dominant or right-brain
dominant, and they then take on the traits of that portion of the brain.
He said that people with schizophrenia are most likely 50/50, meaning both
left-brain dominant and right-brain dominant. In addition to that,
schizophrenics also have irregular dopamine levels (which most of us already
know). Dopamine controls learning, attention, reinforcement. He
said the altering dopamine levels being transmitted cause schizophrenics to
go in and out of reality, or, in and out of a dreaming state. I found
that comment interesting. Then there are the potential things wrong
with a schizophrenic's brain that haven't been discovered yet. I found
all of it pretty interesting so I thought I'd share it with all of you. I'm aroused just thinking about going into the psychological disorders
chapter.
I went to a frat party last night in East Lansing. At one point
during the night I was standing there in a group of 6-8 people or so, and
this drunk girl I had never seen or met before turned her head to me and
said "you're creepy." What a bitch. I thought about pouring
the mixer of Black Velvet and coke I was holding in my hand onto her head.
I refrained though and instead asked, "What do you mean?" This was her
chance to redeem herself.
"You're just like, you are always looking around and stuff," she replied.
Then, later in the night when the girl was talking to her friends, I came up to her and put my chin on her
shoulder. She turned her neck then saw me and said to her friends,
"that kid just put his head on my shoulder." Yea... they were looking
at you when I did it so you didn't have to tell them.
Even though I was Zachary Odette during that experience I felt more like
Holden Caufield. I probably shouldn't care about all of it too much
considering I don't even really know that girl, and if I did, I probably
wouldn't even like her. Alright...simmer down now Zachary. It's
time to light
a scented candle - blueberry muffins. I swear, this candle somehow smells better than a pan of
blueberry muffins coming out of the oven. I want to go to the
candle store right now and buy a candle just so I can see the cute, friendly
girl who works there. May angels lead that girl in.
One out of
one-hundred people develop schizophrenia on average in this world.
