  2. I wish they would use the translated names on the news etc. It would sound far more poetic!

  3. great blog, gives me a lot of strength.

    the other week stayed up for an entire night making a new calender system

    it is crazy stuff to be doing, i wonder if it might be better for me to get a craft and that way i can busy myself at night when manic, produce huge amounts of tat and then sell it all from bed when i'm down.

    anyway, keep up the work dude, you amaze me :)

  4. I once found a youtube by this woman who had done art while "cycling up" as she put it... going 3 days, 4 days, 5 days... longer up up up through paranoia into grandiosity higher and higher, into the mental unit, still manic. She talks us through the art she did and the last one is just exploding with manic vibrancy. It was kind of scary as well...

    I tried googling it but can't find it. I posted it up on my gledwood2.blogspot.com blog... SOMEWHERE...
