Showcasing the Artistic Talent of Jess Girardo
Jess Girardo asked me to hold her in the Light tonight. I’m not terribly great at that kind of thing. I can meditate, but I am more of an activist, a motivator of sorts. I believe in the whole "move a muscle, change a thought" philosophy. Jess Girardo embodies this fully, even with the limitations of her body due to Scleroderma, a degenerative disorder involving the hardening of the connective tissue, resulting in a hardening of the skin. This has necessitated multiple surgeries for Jess, with no let up in sight. She has a team of 20 doctors, and speaks often of her progress and obstacles on Twitter, where I made her acquaintance.

The Magdalene Healer
One of the recurring themes in my psychoses is that I am the reincarnation of Mary Magdalene. I am not sure if it’s residual damage from years of Catholic School, an interest in the Gnostics, studying psychology or being studied by psychologists.

On Making an Illuminati Snuff Film
My reward to myself for maintaining a year clean resulted in my taking a trip through Sober Vacations International to Turks and Caicos to Club Med. Basically, they take all of the alcohol out of that den of hedonistic pleasure for a week and let a bunch of former drunks and addicts vacation and have meetings together. It was an amazing experience and I recommend both getting clean as well as taking one of the many vacations that Sober Vacations International has to offer.
