freewrite 2-10-12, "revolution"

first full piece completed in under an hour in about 8 months or so. feels great! enjoy.
Happy 2012, and thanks for reading!

the stress from the mess of bills on the table

is enough to make any solid oak unstable

unable to keep up with the onslaught

its not like im fuckin around or forgot

its just that i had to leave my job for the very medical reason

i have all these pieces of paper

covered in numerical treason

later i may look back on this and laugh

but for now i just want to send em all back

you see after leaving my job i lost everything i had

my benefits my career

so fuckin sad..why’d you leave? what about the ADA act?

well for that one must have a formal diagnoses

and i was never given a final prognosis

in English it means they couldn’t figure out what was wrong

before i ran out of Paid Family/Medical leave

word is Bon

so my job’s legal protection was suddenly in question

still unable to perform the vital functions of my position

due to my physical condition

calling out for help but no one would listen

so these were the options i was given

go back to lifting hundreds of pounds a day

or say good bye and walk away

sadly the fact of the matter

is my body is fried so i chose the latter

left on good terms, can go back anytime

but i fear i’ve already passed my prime

at 27 years old, too young to feel so old

now my new career is under fire from the sold-

out, decayed, hypocritical Feds

i just want to garden and create

with like minded heads

but these muthafuckas

gotta be in everyone’s business

cuz they’ve made a business

of fucking with everyone

can i get a witness?

well fuck you

and that’s all i wanted to say

i know my rights and which ones you’ve violated today

and im sick and tired and i won’t take it no more!

Revolution is here bitches

time to even the score!

Patient Review - Medical Cannabis Product - Mary’s Medicinals Transdermal Patches!

*Note: I am an independent, third party patient, reviewing new products that come into the dispensary I have designated as my Primary Care Center. They highly value constructive feedback from a patient who has a genuine debilitating condition, as well as previous experience in the industry. I hope my unique and candid insights help the Medical Cannabis Industry continue to evolve in ways that always keep patient needs first.* Please, if you find any value from this blog, please consider making a donation to the PayPal link at the top right of the page. I don't create these posts expecting anything but to help/entertain others, but I am a disabled mechanic/artist who is not currently receiving SSI/SSDI and when I'm flared up it's hard if not impossible for me to get my hustle on. I'm also working on adding Bitcoin here! :) Management of chronic pain can be a great challenge. Most effective pain relievers are dangerous or potentially addictive, and every body has uniqu...

AB5 Takes the Freedom Out of Freelance

My name is Renata Carmen. I’m a 35 year old California based freelance writer who has been negatively impacted by the new AB5 bill. This law was enacted with the idea it would protect those who desire employee over contract employment status in situations where it’s been unfairly denied them. This is an important and noble cause, and I’m in no way attacking it. However, because the law is written so broadly, many freelance workers who don’t need these protections, including artists and writers, are suffering as a result. Under the new law, freelance writers are now limited to a paltry 35 submissions per year to each company. That’s only 2-3 per month, when many of us need to produce 2-3 per day in order to make a living. I was able to work as much as I desire, with an endless amount of material at my disposal. Now, I find myself in a position of losing my primary source of income and risking becoming obsolete. In the internet age, it’s almost impossible to keep up with any genre when o...

Living with Chronic Illness - Making a Heaven out of Hell

First off, I would like to give my sincerest apologies for falling off the face of the planet for the last few months. What have I been up to, one might ask? Well, to be honest, I am ashamed to say I have been mostly doing this: Which I think anyone would do in similar circumstances, but you don't get a lot done, and you're likely to miss any opportunities that come your way (like a call from the Blue Man Group or about the part as Scared Inmate #2). For the last few years I have been battling debilitating chronic illness, and until about a month ago was eluded in reaching a diagnoses. During that time, I have been told that I'm mentally ill, had doctors give up on me, had friends, family and acquaintances think its all in my head or I'm lazy, racked up medical debt, and had unnecessary invasive medical procedures. To put it lightly, I have been through the ringer, and despite the denial of everyone else, my physical condition has continued to decline. When I develope...
