Thoughts of a Narcoleptic Mind

Today, I decided would be one of my productive days. It was, for an hour or two. I cleaned my dishes, organized my pantry, and straightened up my room a bit. It was going to be a good day, and then, I got my reminder. The evil little minions began squeezing my brain. The foundation that should support my body, like the Corinthian Columns at The New York Stock Exchange Building began to feel as undubstantial as a bowl of melting jello. So, I just let go and dropped. This is my life with Cataplexy. It can be once a day. It can three to four times a day. Sometimes, it can be more. For me, it doesn't last a few seconds. It csn last fifteen minutes. It can last thirty to forty minutes. It can last over an hour. Sometimes, I think I may spend more than  90% of my day feeling like this. It doesn't stop when you sit. It doesn't stop when you lay down. You can't control it. All you can do is just wait, and wish, and pray that it ends soon. It is not a peaceful feeling. It is no...

I am a word nerd. Spoken, and written language are not just ways of communication. They are an art form. It us through the use of language that we learn of, and from our past. We use written language to help build better futures for or children, and their children, ie The Constitution, Proclamations, etc. Through words, we express emotions, thoughts, ideas.

Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become charact...

Yesterday,  I was scrolling through news articles and came across one regarding Maria Sharapova failing a drug test. As I often do, I decided to check out the comments regarding the greatest scandal in all of sports history, because I always find it intriguing to see how many ways people can utilize plausible deniability.  It really is an amazing phenomena to me that so many people can deny all sense of logic in their efforts to justify the wrong doing of people they have put on these pedestals as their symbols of greatness. Not to be remiss in providing a basis for my opinion,  I will point out, what I view, as what should be obvious, logical, common sense facts. Fact one: Sharapova states her family physician as been prescribing Meldonium for ten years because her family has a predisposition for diabetes. What kind of Martin Shkreli logic is that? You don't treat ppatients for illnesses they don't have because their family has a predisposition for that illness. How ma...
