An Occasional Story 
Psychology is the description of those disease that is themselves.
It’s not Ok, but don’t worry about it.
I needed this today, smiling big time! In the end we are all crazy specially artists and is ok.
Smiling! Nice meeting you and thanks for stopping by mine. 🙂
Nice meeting you too. Will look for your book.
Since we are not paying for this analysis (or so I think) can I assume that you are using the Jungian method? 🙂
Now that you ask, that will be $50 for the consultation!
Please pay up right away, or I’ll have to call in a Freudian for a second opinion,
I’m not crazy! I stopped reading at ‘Explosive Personality Disorder.”
Yeah, that one got me mad too.
With Freud it’s all about sex. Why is that?
It’s mainly because dental hygiene lacks that certain je ne sais quoi. Plus it’s a lousy topic on the talk show circuit.
You mean that it’s not all about sex?
I answered them all right, I hope this entitles me to free stuff or at least my own padded cell.
That’s right. You get to read the free stuff inside the padded cell.
O’ Stephan; you’ve drawn a long-long-smile on my lips..thanks
& why to worry about craziness; there’s just a thin line between genius & insanity; enjoy jumping the rope:)
Peace & Light
I started a country-western song with a great hook (but haven’t finished it) It says “If I really was crazy I’d be the last to know”
Let’s meet some place and discuss it but I’m not gonna tell you where…
If I was really paranoid, I would know.
what do you mean by that? 😉
Was that description of paranoia aimed at me? Huh? Was it?!
Now that you ask, yes it was. Actually I thought the first joke about delugional beliefs was the best one.
Q. What does an intermittent explosive personality disorder mean?
A. It means you better watch it, buddy! – THIS TIME
Q. What is paranoia?
A. Paranoia would be a nagging suspicion that the banks, oil companies, insurance
companies, together with Fox News, have bought out all the members of Congress and….
it is paranoia only when it is a nagging suspicion. When you realize it is the truth, you will, like the banks, oil companies, insurance companies, together with Fox News, have bought out all the members of Congress RECOVER. Reality is what it is.

Just a few of my own perceptions – jagged, jarred, or otherwise
It’s true. We’re all a bit crazy to let them get away with it.
