I watched the HBO movie Citizen X which is one of HBO's best films IMHO. Still awesome.
Saw the crazy-head doc today. We're not putting me on meds because I don't really think I need them. There's probably some irony in that statement, but I don't feel like looking for it. The doc is a cool guy, and like many docs, has taken a shine to me. He thinks it's funny that I call him "dude". Plus he's another of those really hot, dapper fellows I love so well. I'm seeing the other dapper hunky guy I know on Monday at the job counseling place. Employment: you shall be mine. Oh yes, you will be mine!
Last night I sent out a query to a publisher via Email, but then realized that my synposis had a zillion typos (okay, more like 4--but that's almost one per page) and my query letter is junk. Or maybe I'm just moody...no it's junk. But after some revising, it is better. Anyway, I'm moving ever forward on that whole project. I'm holding off on looking for an agent until I get a firm publishing offer. I wish I had an editor though, my eye for fine detail is crap.
I got an Email from Walt today, but he didn't have much to say as usual. I'm beginning to wonder if trying to maintain a correspondance with him is just a waste of my time. Although, I guess reaching out is never a waste of time, and it's his loss if he doesn't really want to know me. Maybe he's just holding back, waiting to see if I become successful or not.
Oh, and if you don't know who the hell "Walt" is, please see this friends only entry from last August.

Once I had a friend track down my biological father. I drove to his house at 2am and parked in front of his house, waiting to get the nerve up to walk down his sidewalk and knock on his door. After a few hours of sitting there, I had come to the conclusion that if he'd wanted to be in my life oh so badly, he would've made it happen long ago. I drove away and though nothing was resolved really, I felt more peaceful for it.

On the one hand, my mother was a deceitful, manipulative bitch and I applaud him for getting away. I also beleive him when he says that he didn't contact me because she threatened him. On the other hand, I'm an adult now and have tried to initiate an adult relationship with him and he doesn't seem very interested. I suppose I'm really past needing a "father figure" or whatever. Anyway, I don't want to be mulling over this all weekend...could lead to second guessing, depression and a whole host of emotions I could do without while I'm trying hard to stay drug-free. I'm a huge pothead trying to become merely a recreational smoker.

Actually it's: I used to love her but I had to kill her.

Mine would be "If You Wanna Sing Out." "Trouble", though. Yeah. I've played that scene out, driving in the rain with my head out the window and the song blaring out. Cathartic stuff, huh?

I saw Citizen X on your shelf, and forgot like 3 times to ask about it.
I wouldn't get too worked up over Walt. IMHO you have too many friends as it is, and there just isn't enough of you to go around. Besides, Walt isn't worthy of your attention. He ignored you for what? 30 years? And if you hadn't made the effort, he would have continued ignoring you. He isn't worthy of having descendants. Much less someone as great as you. But it might be worthwhile to get a family medical history from him.

Citizen X DVD is actually H's if you can beleive that. He bought it after I made him watch. It's about the russian serial killer Chickatillo and the long-ass hunt for him. Good stuff.
I prefer to think that Walt ran away from my mom, not from me. It's reasonable to think that I could have turned out very much like her, and if that was the case, i wouldn't want to hang out with me either. Besides, he has a new wife and kids with her.
I assumed he thought I was being well cared for, I mean who would have guessed what my mother was really like inside. My extended family is full of genuinely good people and none of them knew what was really going on. It is true that Walt could (and arguably should) make more of an effort to connect with me, but how does one begin to be a father to a woman in her 30's? It's a tough call, and I choose not to be too vehement about it, if only to be in contact with one family member I don't despise.

Maybe it's just because I'm arrogant, but I couldn't handle ever letting someone else raise my child, without my regular involvement. IMnotsoHO I think it shows a significant character flaw to not care to be part of your child's life, regardless of how well you think they are being brought up. Of course I don't know the details of the situation, there are many scenarios playing out in my head. Your mother likely fought for custody, for the mear sake of hurting Walt. I'm sure that played a role. Walt may have tried to be a part of your life early on, but your mother would surly have prevented that. Your mother would certainly have told Walt all kinds of lies to keep him away. The problem is that your mother is such a wild card, we can't possibly compare this to any situation I would be even remotely familiar with. I'm sure that whatever happened Walt was lucky to get out with his sanity intact. Your mother seems to ruin everything she touches.
By the way, Marcie said your book would make a great one woman show. She said that the rantings were driving her nuts. I asked if she read books about insane people much. She told me she has written several short stories involving insane people. Off hand though, I would tend to think that you have a far better impression of what it's like to be insane.

I don't know much truth about Walt's history, but according to him, he was just getting out of jail when they divorced. I suspect that his low sense of self made him think he wouldn't be a very good father, and that I'd be better off without his influence. He was only 21, which would account for some rash descision making on his part.
Wait, does this Marcie by chance have a lesbian lover named Peppermint Patty? She really should.
