An unsimilar bloke returns

Hello all,

This is Jeff, aka Mr. Almost Crazy. After awhile of going without this wondrous platform, I find myself descending even more into craziness, the bad crazy I mean, where you feel like lashing out, but without the knowledge to make said lashing work.

It's immensely therapeutic to just write out the thoughts to a general public, not to specific people, like I did to 2 unfortunate people on email, I apologize for being the way I am to them, and wish here to conduct myself in a more pure manner.

I want to make a fresh start here, and if things go well i'll give a progress report like changing the name to something like MrSaneMan or something of that ilk.

Putting into practice the things I learn from predominately books but also from the films and music is for me being able to talk about them in a way that I can live with myself for having said them.

I must have rigid standards for myself, and only if I succeed, shall I hope to be an example to others to be more consistent, and to put into action other virtuous tendencies we are individually capable of doing.

I appreciate most of all the ability to express myself here, and wish never ever to get into debates with anyone else, unless I feel personally up to defending my positions to my liking. Besides that I hope to delve into the finer points of mental activity, and if anyone likes that, great, if anyone dislikes it, that's fine too.

In my own little hellscape I am treating the 80 year old I live with to a unique presentation of my film collection, where I show just a little bit at a time from a wide variety with rules in place, if he talks while it plays, I go back to the beginning, and if that happens too often I shall keep all my film viewing till I live alone.

What is of even more importance to me is to spend reading my Kindle contents.

In order of importance

1. Kindle contents
2. Film collection
3. Audible, which is a listening version of reading

Please block me if all you're gonna do is tell me what I got to do instead.

Thanks, and be well y'all, stick up for yourselves, and discern what is going on, try not to make snap judgments about things and people. We live in a complex world, and SW is a microcosm of that, sure one may be here to just shoot the shit, have a laugh and all, and i'll be doing that too, but that is not even 1% of what I hope to be doing here, what my main goal is to become less crazy.

Crazy definition here is a state of frustrating helplessness.

Ciao 4 Now.

I like this idea of starting out one way here and ending up another. I truly Wish you the best journey towards positive progression..
I'm not here to tell you what you should do or what you need to do, or even what i would do.
I think we are all going through our own things. I've been through so much stuff I think My screen name should be super psychotic Split personality Crazy lady. LOL that was the best I could come up with on short notice.
Managing all this is crazy in itself but You're still here I'm still here and there are lots of people out there that get through everyday No matter what they are going through behind the scenes. Kudos to those who keep going. And sending A life raft For those who are drowning....
Frustrating helplessness is exactly where I'm at at at the moment while balancing a very stressful job that I get verbally abused at every day so I totally understand. I wish you the best here And outside of this box. I'll tell you this much....... Anyone who can use the word microcosm In a sentence Is crazy intelligent. So maybe there's a positive to the crazy after all. Have a wonderful day Or as my Ex father-in-law would say Do the best you can.

@LaLumieri Thank you very much for this most pleasant comment, you are a survivor, and not just that, a winner for all that you've gone through, making you stronger and wiser by how you say things. Much good to you in your journey, may life give you a breather more often.

@MrAlmostCrazy How kind of you to say . That is the nicest thing anyones ever said to me. I wish you absolutely the same.
There are many approaches you could take to feeling less crazy. You could beat up elderly veterans in wheelchairs. You could kidnap other people’s dogs. You could decide that the ultimate skate board park is the inside of an active volcano.

I like yours better. In current times, I’m not sure how one goes about feeling less crazy. It IS a Mad Mad Mad World. The less crazy you get the more crazy you look, mostly because there no longer is a “normal.”

I can’t think when last I saw anything that appeared “normal” to me. Good stuff is great and uplifting, but not normal in this “mind your own business” world. Bad stuff is terrible and shocking, but it’s not normal either. Until it is normal.

I wish you a glorious journey, and I wish you peace.

@Mamapolo2016 Thank you very much, oh i'd never be violent to anyone, except with words, which I'll be trying not to do. If I become on the verbal offense, it better be in a way I feel confident of, i'm far from it, so I just have a war within myself till I come up with a foolproof plan. :) Have a good journey too 🤗
@MrAlmostCrazy I’m liking mine.

It's all good I've been trying to raise my levels of consistently less crazy too in recent times so appreciate the work in progress effort it all takes.
