To read this post is to know the crazy.

Also, to be the recipient of the blip.me notes is quite the honor.

Oh, my dearest Erratic.... I am so behind on my blog reading.

The beauty of what you say and do is that it is you. I made it through the day at the funeral home and remember laughing at the fucking dead asian baby joke. It was the most inappropriate thing anyone has ever said and I almost peed my pants. That is your beauty. That is why I love you. That is your comfort. As fucking crazy as it is. I love your crazy.

I hope that it's a very long time before you know loss. But it happens to all of us. And when it does, I will be there to make an inappropriate comment or joke.

I love you.

Amen. Love and respect, it's all we need.

2012-06-01T15:09:08.349-04:00

Amen.

Love and respect, it's all we need.

It's pretty fucking horrifying, isn't it? I can't imagine how awful it must be to spend your life being so full of hatred and living in a place of hatred and negativity all the time.

Well, maybe people in "real life" think ...

2012-05-31T12:43:19.293-04:00

Well, maybe people in "real life" think you're weird, but I kind of like you like this. It makes me feel more normal. Also, who POINTS at someone and laughs? What are you, three years old? So weird.

2012-05-30T18:52:56.751-04:00

Have to say, I've been following you for months. You are alternately a total riot, and totally "real". And I have days like you've had, ALL the time... hang in there. :) ~phnx

Um. The drive thru was closed, so I went to Kroger. As if THAT was the only thing you didn't follow. Holy. Balls. My. Brain.

2012-05-26T20:48:50.968-04:00

In lots of ways, you are very wise. Hard earned wisdom, the way it sounds. But I guess that's the kind that sticks. The past only has the power we give it. I don't know why it is so hard to let go of bad stuff, but it often is. As always things seem to boil down to love or fear. Choose love. :-)

2012-05-23T11:28:21.544-04:00

"I hug and I listen and I show up with food, because I do food. I can do food." - that is not contrite at all!! That is NEEDED. Actions of help are NEEDED. It's way better than a b.s. comment and no help. You're a good person and a good friend, obviously!

Things like this are WHY I love you so much, thoug...

2012-05-23T09:36:34.083-04:00

Things like this are WHY I love you so much, though. I know that if something horrible did happen that the words or actions you offered would be 100% genuinely you. I would much rather see that than the contrite and generally bullshit responses that so many give in times of grief. The reason you DON'T suck is because you ARE genuine, and anyone who is lucky enough to call you friend knows just how far you would go for them (aka, to the ends of the earth, if asked).

Seriously. We are LUCKY to have you as a friend. There is no reason for you to feel guilty.

All of that is exactly why you're not horrible...

2012-05-23T07:49:14.592-04:00

All of that is exactly why you're not horrible. I always feel like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. "Social convention requires me to offer you a hot beverage in your time of need. Would you like a hot beverage?"

Person of Interest really is a great show. Just saying.

LOL.

I love your random posts.

Ugh, I hate when the hundred dollars here and hundred dollars there adds up to crazy stress. Hang in there.

I want to see the house!!!

Deep breaths, my friend. Deep breaths.

I really have nothing besides that.

<3 you.

That can be a super hard decision, but it sounds like it's the right one in your case. Also, if you're going to have a foreclosure on your record, this is the time to do it. It's such a widespread phenomenon at this point that it's not being viewed nearly so harshly as it used to be by lending institutions. I get that it's hard to walk away from your home though...

Racists are dicks. :( I'm glad you guys were there for your coworker.

2012-05-01T09:56:22.189-04:00

Ugh, that sucks when the "little" expenses end up adding up so quickly that they become deal breakers. I get that though, for sure.

You will make some amazeballs food for Hubert Keller because you are an amazeballs chef. Remember that!

2012-05-01T01:26:00.724-04:00

I'm so sorry. I have no idea why life decides to throw EVERYTHING at us at once... it seems to go that way around these parts too. I hope that the house works out, and get exactly where you're coming from with being pissed because you know it's not a big deal to them and they're fighting over it. I feel lie I've been there so many times - SO frustrating. Hubert Keller? Awesome! I'll be thinking good thoughts on both fronts.

Juls - Now I want to come to Minnesota just to cater a dinner party for you. Not because you will pay me, but because you get it. So few people do.

Josey - Obviously I too love that your mom reads my blog. :)

2012-04-24T08:40:07.729-04:00

I love that my Mom reads your blog. :)

And yes, I agree with her - it's hard for artists to get compensated for their talents the way an electrician (or whomever) would. Start stickin' to your guns and try to really express that to your friends!

2012-04-24T08:38:33.414-04:00

I love this post. Artists of all kinds have to work SO hard for the rest of us to "get" that what you do is a skill or art or whatever words you want to use that convey VALUE. I don't know where you live, you've probably said but it is the sort of detail I forget. But if you ever get to Minnesota I will hire you to cater a dinner party and pay you $50/hr (or whatever the correct amount is). The correct amount is whatever it takes to leave you feeling satisfied and appreciated. I love your passion for what you do. :-)
