The Dark Side of the Sun

*** I've been diagnosed as a comic-depressive.

*** Also as an Obsessive-Repulsive.

*** Beneath this jocular exterior there is a person laughing his ass off!---but, behind him is a guy whose life is a day at the beach---Omaha Beach!!

*** I wouldn't say that I've been to a lot of therapists in my life, but I still can't break the habit of lying down on people's couches when I first come in their house.

*** The one thing I learned from all those mental help mavens was, "It's all in your head!! Yeah, thanks---oh well, I guess I didn't need all those Benjamins for a rainy day!!

*** Meditation helps---just this morning I had a moment of sheer bliss and ecstasy in a place beyond time and space. Oh, wait, I'm sorry--- that was right after I ...er... nevermind..

*** I also do yoga. It's given my body so much elasticity that when I got bounced from my job, I bounced!!

*** Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry (a little known psychological syndrome.)That's may be why I'm not a favorite at funerals. Or at TV sitcom tapings.

*** I recently went into group therapy. I didn't realize the zeitgest had changed psychiatry over the years. They voted me out of the group!

*** But my wife said to me, "Darling, you know you're not as driven as you used to be!"
I thanked her for the compliment. She said, "Thanks, nothing!! Go out and get a job you schmuck!!"

Thank goodness I don't have that problem of not knowing when to laugh or cry.

When I read your blog, I always cry.
