My Bio
I think this is about the third time I said I was back and I really wasn't back at all. It's been a difficult few years amid lots of loss for me. This time I'm really feeling the need to be producing some form of art again. After all it is in the eye of the beholder. I don't usually think of myself as an "artist" but I love doing things that real artists do which is produce something that is artistic. As I laugh I'm very aware that this is some form of therapy for me. I mean really...you give even the least artistic man on earth a piece of white paper and a black pen and he just might make a masterpiece...in his eye anyway....isnt that what matters most? Sort of but not really...anyway here I am...so we'll see what happens...

Sometimes....

0 min read
Yes, sometimes life is just awful.  Scary.  Unfair.   I was feeling like everything was wrong, going wrong and what wasnt wrong would soon be wrong.  My old friend depression was visiting me once again.  All the med in the world werent helping and in fact made me feel worse.  Main thing is I'm back.  I wont go into details but I'm better and with no meds.  Ive been looking forward to outing my deviant art chops and voice my opinions regarding political and non-political views of the world.  Well.....we'll see........

Well, I'm TRYING to be back.  I've renewed my premium membership at any rate so I'm almost back ALL THE WAY...As per my usual state of affairs, it's been a hard time for me.  As I had stated earlier, a year ago last August my partner in crime passed away suddenly/unexpectedly.  Then this past July my father had the nerve to just up and die on me too. It's been a very harsh time for meHOWEVER I'm now at least making all the noises as if I'm managing a come back of sorts.  SO, anyway here I am and I hope it proves to be a fun and exciting time for me again.......

CLINTON....is a GOD in my realm....
now I dont call anybody by anything other than their given name and I expect the same from everybody else. If you cant act like an adult you'll have to be treated like a child. I AM a gay man but am NOT a faggot.
I think your absolutely right about what Jesus would do...with his index finger. I've thought this for a long time...people taking things to an extreme....thats what they always do. Like that will get them into heaven easier.... good point on your part..
Oh Lord, all joking aside, a nurse of 30 years taking care of premature newborns... My friend, my brother, I love you, and I thank you from the absolute depths of my heart and soul and every FIBER of my being -- I was a premature baby whose life was saved on account of countless, tireless efforts made by the nurses who took care of me. In my fuzzy infant vision, I know I looked up at them, the nurses caring for my tiny, feeble body, and I saw God. Sure, call it "bad infant vision" if you would like to, but I don't think any profession on this earth is as God-like as those who embark into the profession of healthcare... those brave, incomparable souls who tend to the ill, the weak, the dying... who comfort us and heal us...

I am a proud (but TOLERANT!) Christian, and I've read my holy texts as well as those of many other sacred religions and spiritual belief structures from all over this humble floating rock we call Earth, and they all agreed on this one tenant of Faith; God comforts. God cares. God heals.

And I challenge you to refute me. I was taught ever since I was old enough to retain this information that God saves, and knowing what I know of the nurses who did just that for a tiny little baby with an APGAR reading of less than two, who was thought to have no chance, I will NEVER forget the nurses who believed in me, had faith in me, held me and whispered "grow, grow." They were angels. What else could they be? Who else would have sent them but God Himself?

My late father James offered the staff that saved me free car repairs at his self owned garage after I was pronoucned "thoroughly better and markedly improved." And God bless those selfless people, they turned him down on the offer. He said he had to repay them somehow, and one nurse literally looked right at him, honest to goodness confused, and asked "Thank us? For what?"

He knew the reason he got to waltz up and down the maternity ward that first week of April with his new baby girl, singing to her an old Al Jolson tune, that the only reason he had the gift of this moment of divinity with his daughter that it was only through the tireless work of the Madison General Hospital nursing staff of 1983 that he was allowed to have it.

From a premature baby who was believed in and cared for by such immense, wonderful and pure souls like you, you have my deepest thanks, but moreso than this, you have my love.

A. L. L. Pope

PS - The song my father sang to me, which the staff that saved me told him brought them to happy tears, was Al Jolson's 1920's hit, "Yes Sir, That's My Baby."
Mandi, I am pretty amazed...not many infants who have an apgar of two go on to very well. You are very lucky for sure. The apgar is a score given by the RN after usually 1 minute of life. Repeated at 5 and then at 10 minutes. Is based on color, respirations and heart rate. Ya gotta have breathing and heart pumping to survive. If no respirations or heart rate (or very low we start cpr and continue until respirations and heart rate are such that would support life ...or we intubate with an endo tracheal tube and ventilate while someone else does chest compressions) or an MD says we can stop.. Once we start lifesaving measure we can't stop until someone with more training (such as an MD) gives us permission. Kind of complicated to explain but when in the moment goes extremely fast....
Dear Democratic Dude Daniel,

You are made of pure, unadulterated Win. I've just browsed your gallery and I simply ADORE you. As such, I've humbly put you on my Friends List so I can keep up with your comings and goings, because I, myself, enjoy pure, unadulterated Win and I like to spend as much time around it as I can.

I love you, my Dem Brother. We are some hot pieces of "ass," are we not???

Love,
Mandi
