Hello all! I must say this is really my first blog anywhere.

A little about me: I'm sure you can tell by my screen name I am bipolar. Please forgive my moodswings. I am also a poet, though rather unsuccessful. The two really go hand in hand. In addition, to both of these setbacks (yes, it is a curse to write poetry with the illusion that it might actually be a career one day) I have also been told I am ADD. I figure it must be true since the medication actually helps.

I am currently unemployed.

I am back on medication for the bipolar disorder after 10 long months in a deep depression after being fired from a crap happy coffee shop job, a severe manic episode (involving gambling, drug use, and about $20,000 in credit card debt) and a complete failure to succeed as a functioning member of society.

I am beginning to feel a little better, a little more hopeful, and slightly happy even. And lucky you I have stumbled upon this soulcast.com.

My motivation, I suppose, for blogging here is probably completely selfish. An outlet to rant on and on perhaps entertaining someone or offending someone else. I will do my best to follow through should the opportunity allow it.

Just so you know I tend to be self-rightous, arrogant, unconcerned, unaffected, critical, humerous, blasphemous, uplifting, and sarcastic sometimes all at once.

I look forward to your comments and towards reading others' blogs, which I admit I haven't done as of yet.

One last thing, in my writing I tend to use "you" much too often. Please note that while sometimes I mean the reader, often I mean the heirarchy of evil. ie. politicians, religious leaders, the general idiots within the population. Hopefully, I will maintain clarity in this regard.

Thanks and good day!
