When I began this blog about 3 years ago I chose to interview myself as a quick way for people to know about me. Since I’ve gone so long without posting, I figure that I will do the same again: Do you have a nick-name? Kinda. My name is Brad. Just Brad. However, once I […]

Another Interview
When I first started this blog, about a year ago, I interviewed myself as an introduction to my blog. Now that I’m restarting it, I figure I should do the same. So, here we go: What is your favorite color: green or blue, it depends on the lighting. When was the last time you had […]
The Only Thing That’s Constant is Change
I like “change for the sake of change”. That’s what a former employer of mine told me. It was before I was diagnosed as bipolar so I’m certain she was right. Promoting change is perceived as one of my faults or assets, depending on who you ask and what day it is. Living up to […]
Time For Some Updates
Exercise: The last time I posted my weight, I had lost some weight and had reached a plateau and was struggling to lose 2 more pounds as a mini goal. I haven’t been on a scale since then and for good reason. I haven’t taken a good healthy walk since returning from my vacation a […]

There is a difference that I’ve covered before and if you’re interested you can find it here: How Is […]

Labor Day
Here in the U.S. it’s the Labor Day holiday. It has me pondering the fact that I haven’t labored ( had a job ) in 2 1/2 years. Sure, I’ve done chores around the house and been a pretty good house-husband for the most part, but it’s been odd not going to a job outside […]
Depression Sucks
I haven’t been posting as much as I use to. I’m sure that pleases many of you. I am Bipolar II, which typically tends to lean more towards depression and the upswings into mania are not so severe. The past couple of weeks I’ve been dealing with the depressive side. It wasn’t long ago that […]

Vincent
I’ve mentioned before that Vincent Van Gogh has always been my favorite painter. I’ve marveled at his masterpieces and the deep passion in each one. “Lust for Life” is written about the life of Van Gogh. Vincent and his brother Theo wrote back and forth frequently and fortunately for the rest of us, Theo saved […]
