I blame it on my nerves…

Yesterday I admitted I was very edgy. I sometimes wonder what facilitated all of these problems with my nerves. Could it be a genetic defect? Will I be walking down the street one day and start slapping myself across the face? Could it be a possession? Can I be possessed by my departed father? Is this his way of getting back at me for not eating those tomatoes he was forcing upon me in my youth? I still don’t eat tomatoes (at least not raw). Maybe I am being possessed by my departed brother or first wife.

I sometimes think that it would be easier to explain why I feel like I need to slap someone up against the side of the head with duct tape by blaming it on someone else. But I am sure it is not someone else. I think it may be because of the President. Hey, everyone else blames it on the President, why can’t I? I should sue. The cross-examination:

My Wonderful Attorney: Mr. President, is it true you have caused grievous harm against N8ivWarrior and his family by making him do things like work?

The President: N8ivWarrior works? Oh, well, of course not. You see the confiscation of the public has to be to politify the needs of the many over the needs of the few. I cannot explain the trouble N8ivWarrior is seeing, has he paid his taxes?

My Wonderful Attorney: Did you say politify? Is that a word? Do you even know what I just asked?

The President: Which one do you want me to answer? I am sorry, I have to go. Mrs. Presidentiary has called me for dinner.

Well paid Superior Court Judge up for Supreme Court seat: OK, thank you Mr. President. You are dismissed. Tell the Mrs. I said Hi.

My Wonderful Attorney: I object!

Well paid Superior Court Judge up for Supreme Court seat: So do I. I should have gotten his signature.

It appears that scenario will not work out for me anyhow. He would just pardon himself like the last President did.

Actually, I have been diagnosed with Essential Tremors. Basically, I feel like I am shaking all of the time and sometimes it shows. It has a lot of the same characteristics of Parkinson’s, but it is not degenerative. It is especially noticeable when I am tired. Alcohol actually calms the benign tremors allowing me to relax more. There appears to be no cause for ET and it does not appear to be genetic. But my case may be slightly different. Mine may be a result of nerve damage.

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Do NOT go swimming in the outdoor pool in the summer in Show Low, Arizona.

Show Low is located precariously on a mountain ridge in Eastern Arizona. This location often has orographic precipitation. This is precipitation caused by the air flow moving up a mountain and colliding with the high air creating a storm raining only on that side of the mountain. In the photo, you will notice the Northern portion looks rather dry…it is. All of the rain has fallen on the southern side of Show Low.

Well, this precipitation brings on storms clouds rather fast. When I was 14 years of age, I was swimming in the hotel pool when the first lightning strike hit…the pool. I was tossed out of the pool, over the fence and onto the ground. Luckily, the lady sitting near the pool saw all of this and yelled for help. I know, I know, that explains a lot.

What came out of this lightning strike? Well, I had more clarity on my purpose in life. I knew that I was to look into the future, gain as much knowledge about everything as possible, and LIVE life. The pauses in life that I am facing now, are my checks and balances.

What are your checks and balances in life?
