gee-gee and the whirlpool of throw-up and shit

A picture named throwupwhirlpool.gifI used to have some very strange thoughts and daydreams as a kid.

For instance, one time I imagined this scenario, kind of like a science fiction movie or something, where my family would have to go through this giant whirlpool made of throw-up and shit.

I don't remember the exact reason we had to go through the throw-up and shit whirlpool, but we just did--there was no choice.  To survive the whirlpool of throw-up and shit we had to wear these protective space suits that would allow us to breath and stay clean.

I imagined this very intense and emotional situation where my family entered the whirlpool of throw-up and shit and began the perilous journey to whatever waited on the other side.

I tried to picture how the individual members of my family would fare going through the whirlpool of throw- up and shit.  It seemed like it would have been a real hardship on my Gee-Gee (my great-grandmother).  She was about 92 years old at the time and very frail.

I kind of doubted that Gee-Gee would have survived the whirlpool of throw-up and shit.

depression

A picture named _depressedpsd.gifI progressively dropped out of life my first semester at FSU.  My dream was to be a great movie director like Steven Spielberg, but instead I had signed up for classes like biology where I had to memorzie a giant textbook full of the names of germs. After my first round of Fs, I pretty much stopped going to class.  I would kill time by playing pool and getting high and standing in front of the university dining halll, waiting for it to open. 

Then after a while I didn't really leave my dorm room very much.  I laid in my dorm bunk and stared at the ceiling and listened to my Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin albums.

One time I was lying in my dorm bed like this and listening to the radio.  My Cuban roommate Manny was sitting in a chair by the window, happily cleaning out his bong.  Then suddenly this very grave and serious voice came over the radio.  It was an ad for some sort of mental health clinic in Tallahassee.

"Are you feeling tired?  Sad?  You don't  get out and do the things you used to?  You might be suffering from depression."

My roommate looked over at me and I looked at him.  Then we both smiled.
