People are crazy.

I know, usually I stay away from controversy, but the idea that I am crazy, you are crazy and we are all crazy just now occurred to me.

That last statement isn't crazy, it's just a lie. I have believed in my own craziness and everyone else's for as long as I've had any notion of what crazy was. Given my family history, that's a long time.

I think it is relevant, because here in Syracuse, many people think odd things about me, like that I'm completely sane, or completely crazy. Of course, what they think is none of my business, but it is amusing to me, in a wry, detached, Moliere-absurd sort of way.

This is because I came here fairly and totally broken, and my history here has been one of recovery, with most of my local friendships commencing after a considerable amount of healing had taken place. No knowledge of my life before relocating here was known, and little has come to light.

So everything here lacks context. Reinventing myself in such a situation was that much easier.

Back to crazy: You really are! Me, too.

I celebrate our common bond.

Well, that's a little disappointing. My four Quest bars with a celery and mayonnaise kicker at midnight may be entirely responsible. If so, tomorrow will be better.

  1. We are all Bozos on this bus. Yes , we're all crazy. Yes, we're all sane. Expectations have been constantly disappointed. Now, i am going to quote myself, because certain things i've written seem relevant.

    You are not what They think You are.
    They are not what They or You think.
    You are not what You think You are.
    You are not what I think you are.
    I am not what They, or You, or I think.

  2. Good thoughts, Andy. No matter my poor choice of words, my friends up here know very little of my life before I got here, so lack context for me.

  3. Now is the only context. Nothing and nobody is lacking in context. We are not now what we think or think we thought we were. Your friends are seeing you just as you are now, though I doubt that any understand what we are seeing.
