Your armor is almost translucent Atticus. Neither of us want this to be an endless dialogue but after revealing so much of yourself I'd like to make a few comments. A kindred spirit of sorts, I, too, am bipolar and know the trappings of an unfettered manic brain operating at warp speed. I have also experienced depression, a torture excrutiating enough to make Mengele envious. Unlike you, however, I don't have the cathartic outlet that you have like your primal punk scream therapy or the nuance of a well-crafted phrase. I hope when you get writer's block that you are not tempted to go off you meds or otherwise induce mania as most bipolars know how to do in a reckless attempt to mine some new material.
Another annoying question, when you describe your frustration with the constraints of your pedestrian job could you be displacing some of that pent-up contempt onto the Babblemeister unwittingly? OK, I confess, he Babblemailed me and begged me to ask you that question.
As always, no need to reply unless you find it amusing to tell a bunch of total strangers intimate details about yourself.
