Blog Fright

I was at a loss to come up with a unique website for today's
feature. So, all you Bloganon poseurs:

I finally know what it's like to suffer "Blog Fright", and
it ain't very pretty, let me tell you! Your mind goes blank,
mouth turns dry, and your fingers wither like dead, wet
November leaves over that keyboard, "The Great White". And
you panic:

"What are all my wonderful fans gonna think, when my very
fifth blog does not match the high quality of the previous
four?"

And of course, this is all wishful thinking, as not
<i>one</i> netizen has yet to visit my lovely little blog,
who has not been coerced into doing so by yours truly.
Thanks, John H.!

Fortunately, my guardian angel's a Nam Vet:

http://www.gay-bible.org/somalia/a11a.htm

so I know all about "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder", or
PTSD. Before Vietnam, it was called "Combat Fatigue", and
before even that: "Shell Shock".

In a nutshell (uh-oh, claustrophobia attack!):

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=cl...ger.net&rnum=2

PTSD can (and usually does) result after suffering extreme
trauma. There are *some> fortunate souls who *live PTSD each
and every day of their lives. I say "fortunate", for they
are actually the Shamans of the New Age, in training. (Such
as *moi.)

But as I see the horrors of this world unfolding, like some
elegant CyberVictorian puzzle from Myst, I've come to
realize that we are *all being called to shamanhood, with
this one caveat:

"Many are called, but few are chosen".

To which I like to add:

"So step right up for your lederhosen." %-6

http://search.ebay.com/lederhosen

No, seriously, folks. *No one* seems to be able to avoid the
tremendous stress due to such frightening times that have
befallen this planet. It will therefore behoove every poor
soul on this wobbly globe of miscreants, to undersand the
signs

http://www.gay-bible.org/write/4_holocaust.htm

of PTSD, and how to heal oneself and others of this
quasi-Divine Malady:

http://www.bullyonline.org/stress/ptsd.htm

Why divine? Because *some who pass through this virtually
*lifelong (say, 30-40 yrs.) ordeal come out as Shaman
Caretakers of this planet...each specializing in a
particular, noble cause. In my case, that's *sexual minority
civil rights*:

http://www.gay-bible.org/write/4_zeke-for-prez.htm

You know, whenever I edit a blog (and I do, at least several
times for each and every blog, being the anal retentive
perfectionist that I am), this little beggar pops up:

http://www.gay-bible.org/blogstuff/2004 05 27b.gif

Now, I know the money ain't no big deal, being just
$1.99/mo. But I do know this gives tBlog access to a link
into my bank account, to automatically collect my monthly
ounce of flesh (or were I female, I'd say: "ounce of
blood"). Now, that just doesn't sit quite right with me; the
security question is *obvious:

https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Pardon me, while I peek out the window as I do each and
every 15 minutes (was up to 7 mins. for a few hours, that's
orange alert), to see what the outside world is up to, and
if the percentage of citizens curious to wonder what goes on
behind my window, has increased more than a trivial amount
since last time I peeked...and last time they walked by.
(Homophobia is truly a frightening reality!)

A tip for Nam Vets:

Whenever a situation begins to make you perceive reality as
hopeless, start speaking this out loud, until you, and
everyone around you, is rolling on the floor with laughter:

Post traumatic stress disorder:
Oh, there goes my heart, and
Oooops!
Aorta!

You'll find that a dramatic display of your best friend

http://www.turbosquid.com/HTMLClient...on/FullPreview

will make the operation a smooth performance...one to write
homo about, if you get my drift.

Sincerely,

The obvious solution to this is to starve the
account, giving it only enough money to survive.
Be extra careful of those binding arbitration
agreements, though.


I am not a lawyer. I do not even see email sent to this address, due to
past DOS attacks. If you wish to respond, do so through this newsgroup.

Thanks for your input. My article, however, was intended as
tongue-in-cheek, a parody if you will, about PTSD.
