The NBA Playoffs are going on this month, and the next month, and the month after that.

The Detroit Pistons (the team I route for) are currently in a series with the Milwaukee Bucks.  I am telling you this because the Milwaukee Bucks have a Flint, Michigan native on their team...Charlie Bell.  The same Charlie Bell I saw last summer in the park.  My proof...

Yea, Charlie and I go way back.  I remember when I'd go to Thanksgiving dinner at Charlie's house with Andre Ware and Tom Cruise.  T'was a fun time.  Moving on though...

World Record for most beers drank during one NBA basketball game by a player:  one 40oz beer by Shawn Kemp.

I couldn't think of anything else to do.  Would Angelina Jolie dig this?

Just making this post to keep reminding everyone of the Mental Illness Artwork Contest.  If you are into art at all and can get your picture(s) to me then send 'em to me.

Also, notice the slight changes in the way this website looks?  It starts with the birds, then the right scroll bar, then the bg image (just slightly).

Finally, I recently watched the movie Analyze That and there's a mental health diagnosis in a small part of the movie.  Check it out if you're REALLY into seeing every movie related to mental health.  And somehow that movie reminded me of the small mental health part in the movie Die Hard With A Vengeance where Bruce Willis has to pretend he's crazy to prevent himself from getting murdered on the streets of Harlem by saying, "I'm am the voice of my own God."

I just read that scientologists are allowed to smoke cigarettes (stimulants) and drink alcohol (<===gotta love this).  The fuck Tom?  I've been under the impression that part of the reason scientologists say pharmaceutical drugs are bad is because street drugs in general are bad (as far as we know) therefore pharmaceutical drugs are no different than street drugs because they are both "drugs."

Girl:  "But Tom , if you can drink alcohol why can't I take my prescription drugs?"
Tom:  "First of all, your prescription drugs are street drugs, and they won't help you get better.  And secondly, I emptied your prescription bottle in the toilet the other day when I was vomiting in there from drinking expensive wine to access the night before.  And two more things I want to say to you before I leave to film this new movie called Asylum:  1.)  I'm still drunk.  and 2.) Good luck finding your pills.  If you try, I'll divorce you and start dating Mary Kate then Ashley.

Tom on an exercise bike in the nut house:



By the way, this is a thing Tom Cruise seriously said recently.  He said he could get a heroin addict clean in 3 days.  I doubt that Tom.  I still think Tom belongs in prison for telling people not to take their prescription medication.  Then once he's in prison, he can teach all the prisoners scientology and get them off heroin.

This Abilify is giving me erections all the time.  It usually happens when I am asleep though, which is a good thing and a bad thing.  I'm not getting them at home unfortunately, but I'm not getting them in class either.  Nevertheless, erections on this many meds is a good thing.  But these erections aren't arousal erections.  They are like Viagra erections.  Well, I am just assuming that Viagra and Abilify erections are very similar.  But don't go changing your meds to Abilify because you're havin' trouble satisfyin' your lady.  That's what Viagra is for.  Maybe you should ask your doctor if taking Viagra with your meds is okay.  I know at my next psychiatrist appointment I am going to ask my psychiatrist if there are any hair loss products I can use.

1.)  Pretend you are just cured from mental illness, or "living with it", all because some miracle drug came out and you took it.  Also pretend (unless this really happened) that smoking marijuana helped trigger your mental illness long before the drug came out or it made you decline into your illness and you were stuck with it until now, when you were just cured.  What happens if you smoke pot now?  Will it trigger you back into mental illness?  If so, that would be torture.  Torture I tell you.

2.)  Has Tom Cruise at least mentioned anything about Omega-3 Fish Oils yet?  I'm not following him in the news, but I thought he only talked about multivitamins and jerking off, I mean exercise.  I actually heard, that some form of Omega-3 Fish Oils is in phase II trials for depression treatment.  Now, that's just what I've heard, so I could be way off.  If you want to know more about Omega-3 Fish Oils, go here.  Educate yourself so you don't buy the weak ones.

3.)  Expect a contest on this website soon.  Anyone have any ideas?  I have a few, but if you have some email me (zacharyodette@yahoo.com).  The winners will win cool things.

Quote of the day:  "I remember when land mines used to be called shoe bombs.  Ahh, I'm hit!...Shoe bomb!  Is what people would say.  Those killed twice as many soldiers as tanks."  -  Grandpa Odette.

By the way, I hate that term "living with it."  I'm living with it right now.

I shouldn't be up this late.  Wait, why the hell not?  Every so often, I go a night without sleeping.  Blah.  I was at Wikepedia tonight trying to learn more about scientology, and here is a quote I took about L. Ron Hubbard which I found funny.

"L. Ron Hubbard was bitterly critical of psychiatry's citation of physical causes for mental disorders, such as chemical imbalances in the brain. Although there are many questions remaining, the statements by Hubbard deny that psychiatry, through the scientific method, has shown some psychiatric disorders are related to anatomical and chemical cerebral anomalies. Furthermore, it is evident much of his criticism is based upon old and flawed information regarding psychiatry."

And look at this picture.  Church of Scientology anti-psychiatry demonstration in Edinburgh, Scotland, June 2005.

What do you think they're chanting?

We're here
We're there
Scientology cares

That x 80,000.  Sorry scientologists, but your little plan backfired as I am making fun of your banner (and your chant which I made up in my head).

What if a mentally ill person committed suicide and blamed science in some sort of death note?  "They told me to stop taking my pills...so I did.  Then they told me I'd get better...which I didn't.  And then, I went to see War of the Worlds on the day I knew I was gonna do it...that sure as Hell didn't help.  My symptoms are all coming back so strong, but I have to stay true to my religion.  Science is eating me alive.  I have one last thing I must share to the before I die."

Top of the Muffin to Ya.  I really want to make a post right now, but I don't know what to write about exactly.  Gabbo, Gabbo, Gabbo.    Here I go.  Okay, I recently found out Quentin Tarantino was involved on a movie project between the movies Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, titled "True Romance", so I rented it.  The movie is great so go rent it yourself.  Then, recently when I looked on IMDB.com to see who the female actress who is the co-star to Christian Slater in the movie, I found out it is Patricia Arquette (someone I've never heard of).  Then I thought I remembered on the H13.com website, about that guy/Stand saying something about an "Arquette" girl, so I searched "Arquette" in his search bar and a page came up with a few previous posts.  The first post talked about 1.) Yoda from Star Wars and the second talked about 2.) Rosanna Arquette (which isn't actually Patricia Arquette).  It made me think of this little game though, which has no title.

Alright, for nothing but a laugh, who said this?

"90 miles an hour is the speed I drive."

  A. Jimi Hendrix              B. Yoda            C. Patricia Arquette





and the answer is....




having trouble with this envelope...




I'm terribly sorry this is taking so long everyone...




What idiot sealed this non-sealable envelope with scotch tape?  Probably Tom Cruise...




Okay, I've got it.  And the winner is...




Tom Cruise?  How the hell did this happen?





Thank you, thank you. - Tom Cruise.




Get off the stage you psycho.  We all know you cheated. - Brooke Shields.





I don't care about cheating as long as I can cheat and no one else can.  One time at scientology camp, I made everyone pick flowers all day just to impress a young Nicole Kidman.  That's just one example of how my Hollywood hotshot status can have an influence on young girls.  Now look how far I've gone with it.  I've never even seen a Katie Holmes movie.  And another great thing about being a Hollywood hotshot is who does the media find more crazy, me or you?  Hahahaha.  Hey mom, I'm on TV again.  I feel great!  Greaaaaaatttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!

I often can't think of other things to write about.  Maybe I need to start attacking Tom Cruise more and more, and have everyone do the same thing.  I know that I need better medications, and I recently learned that if you are a scientologist, you can't believe in psychiatric medication.  I'm gettin' sick of this shit.

Does anyone else get constipation from these antipsychotics?  Maybe I have a weak stomach or something, but Risperdal and Abilify both give me constipation.  I'm not on Risperdal right now, but I just started Abilify again.  I'm taking Fiber Choice chewable tablets and Dulcolax Stool Softener to counter the Abilify constipation side effect.  I'd probably take the same route if I were on Risperdal.  As for Seroquel, it made my stomach kind of weak.  I took Fiber Choice chewable tablets for that though and everything was fixed.  And Geodon, had a neutral effect on my...well, my bowels.  Do at least a couple of you have these same troubles from these antipsychotics?



Sunday April 2, 2006 10:00 PM

I searched "famous scientologists" on Yahoo! because I was suspicious of Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz becoming scientologists.  Mmmm...Penelope Cruz.  Anyway, I found this helpful website:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scientologists

If you are too lazy to click on that link, here are just a few celebrities who are scientologists or used to be scientologists.

Scientologists

Kirstie Alley - Her weight will eventually stabilize, then her career and high-self esteem will be gone.  She will resort to taking antidepressants.

Tom Cruise - I don't like this guy.  How is psychiatry a pseudoscience?  When aliens land on earth, Tom Cruise is going to try to have sex with one of them.

 Jenna Elfman - The woman who claims "AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease."  I swear, I have to be misinterpreting that comment.  If not though, what about Lou Gherig's disease?  Is that a just a state of mind?  I hope you get mistaken for Jenna Jameson.  I hope you get gonorrhea.

Juliette Lewis - "I'm hear for the scientologists gangbang"  -  Old School quote, slightly altered.

John Travolta - Him AND Kirstie Alley?  I now know why three "Look Who's Talking" movies were made.

Former Scientologists (I found this interesting)

Emilio Estevez - "What the hell were you thinking?"  -  Martin Sheen to Emilio Estevez after they both realized Emilio made a mistake by becoming a scientologist.

Charles Manson - Well, well, well.  Is scientology related to serial killing?  If it is, we're all f*cked because everyone is a scientologist today!

Oliver Stone - I hope he creates a movie about his crummy scientology experience.  Also, he directed the movie "Natural Born Killers."  Is scientology related to serial killing?  If it is, we're all f*cked dammit cause everyone is a scientologist today!  Your pet dog or cat, probably a scientologist.

Sharon Stone - Look below.
 

Look at this group of fine actors.  Notice that not one is a scientologist.

A ton of people have voted in my web poll, which is great.  Thank you!  Keep voting though if you haven't already though.  I love ya.

I saw a brief moment of the AE biography (or whatever it's called) of John Travolta because my mom was watching it.  There was a part in it that said something like, "John flew to Australia in a Qantas jet to promote the film Swordfish."  If I remember correctly, and I think I do, there is a part in the movie Rain Man (starring Dustin Hoffman and that guy everyone hates named Tom Cruise), where in the scene, autistic Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) refuses to fly in a plane unless it's a Qantas plane...Then Tom Cruise says he can't do that because the only Qantas plane is flying to Australia.  I now hate you John Travolta, which isn't good, because you are the main character in Pulp Fiction...one of my favorites flicks.  Actually, I really dislike these scientology actors, but I don't hate them.  Just stop talking about scientology and psychiatry.  Anyway, then my brother, who suddenly came in the room, said that actress Jenna Elfman (Dharma and Greg TV show, Keeping the Faith movie, and whatever else) is also a scientologist, and she claims that the disease AIDS is a state of mind.  So just a moment ago I looked up "Jenna Elfman and aids" on Yahoo! and I found this quote...

"AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease." - Jenna Elfman

Haha because you're stupid, yet why would you say that?  My brother suggested having someone propose the idea to her that if she voluntary has the HIV virus planted in her bloodstream then that person will donate 1 million dollars towards scientology.  I seriously feel bad for people with the HIV virus and for the people with AIDS.  Jenna Elfman, shut up.
