I've Been Tagged

I've been tagged by Hektiklyfe from his blog The Silent Podium (http://thesilentpodium.blogspot.com/)

The tag rules are as follows:

  1. Each player starts with eight random fact/habits about themselves.
  2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag eight people and list their names.
  4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’ve been tagged and to read your blog.

And you can't tag me back!

Here are eight things that you did not know about me:

  1. I am a 49ers fan, I am from San Francisco
  2. I've worn my hair in dreadlocks for three years this month
  3. My favorite color is red
  4. I don't know how to cook
  5. I have one older sister
  6. I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii
  7. I enjoy playing online Scrabble

Cool thanks for playing. You really cranked this one out fast. It took me so long... XD

1. I LOVE San Francisco. My wife and I frequently make road trips up there about once a year or so.
2. I would NEVER have guessed dreads! Wow that is really a surprise.
3. So was mine as a kid. I really liked purple but Prince was purple and he was girly.
4. I don't know how to cook either! My wife takes care of that and I am soooo glad. I'm that guy in the Carl's Jr. commercials grossed out by raw ground meat.
5. I have one older brother.
6.
7. Scrabble is fun. Are we getting old?
8. I haven't heard it. I had a teacher that looked like Super Woman.

No, Please, That's Not Me

Prior to my diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia I did some things that I am not proud of. Now that I look back on things I blame my illness for my poor judgment. I am by no means condoning the behavior I carried out, and will share with you here. I will provide a few instances where my behavior was unlike me and caused an uproar. This post shows how schizophrenia affects other people. This post is for the family members and friends of people with schizophrenia, or showing bizarre behaviors. First, I asked my mother permission to give my friend a statue that was in my mother's house. My mother agreed to give my friend the statue, however, I took her permission a step further to get rid of what she had at my discretion. At the time I did not live with my mother who was away on a business trip. My mother buys and sells things so she had a lot of collectibles, antiques, and other interesting stuff. While my friend and me were in my mother's house my friend saw a lot of stuff that s...

Remission is the absence of symptoms for at least six months with the support of medication. In other words, a doctor who has never seen you before may not diagnose you as a person with schizophrenia anymore. Remission is also high functioning in several aspects of life, living independently, goinig to school or to work, and socializing with other people.

To reach remission it is recommended that you aim for a stress-free environment. Therefore, do things to relieve stress such as journaling, exercising, talking to friends, listening to or creating music, making a...
