Dan's Blog 2.0 - Upgrade in Progress...


Howdy Folks - So blog post 220 here we go... Not sure if you noticed, but for the last three weeks I decided not to post to my blog. The reason is one of reflection, and this overwhelming need for change. So after much thought I have decided that with the change in the season, to that of the stark unfriendly winter; noted by the fluffy, white, cold, and only pretty in a picture snow.  Now intensified by the setting back of my clock, making day become night, and night becoming sanity crushing long. I too will change.




The revamped blog will be more in line with its name, "The Bipolar II Ravings of a Crazy Man - aka Me". The new plan will be to dedicate the first paragraph of every post to an exclusive update on my life, inclusive of the changing world of rTMS (especially my continued drive to make rTMS available to the masses). Note: I hope to soon post the form letter to allow you to also push the government/insurance companies to cover rTMS that letter will come in the form of a separate post.  - I'll keep you posted on the post. Get it, hilariousJ  The rest of my new, and some may say improved blog, (those that don't agree with the use of the word 'improved', can insert the word 'diminished' or 'worsened' or ' you couldn't possibly make this blog any worse it sucks that bad' or 'super awesome') will be my view on a relevant topic of the week. Now I use the word 'relevant' with great license, as perhaps what is relevant to me - will be far from relevant to the rest of mankind. 

With this in mind I will select my topics based on several highly regarded scientific methods;

1) I will watch the news, and share my thoughts on subjects that are not deemed newsworthy by the liberal left-wing or the right-wing or the centrists media- depending on your political view J, and therefore not actually on the news;



2) I will pick up a newspaper and randomly select a page near the back, and with my eyes closed I will let my blind pointer finger select the most pertinent topic. (For those of you born after 1990: A newspaper is a daily caption of the world news, similar to a blog, but with 'slightly' more vetting of the material. There was a traditionally used term, "hot off the presses", which we assume was literal as the news it provided was no longer relevant by the time it had been printed and made available to customers. Therefore, one has to believe that the newspaper, which is printed on dead trees, using what is probably highly toxic ink that smudges immediately on contact and directly transfers from hands to everything you touch, soap and water being the only exception, must have been warm to the touch when exiting the printing press. To save time and space I will let you Google what a 'printing press' is);





3) I will ask my dog;







4) I will ask one of the shirtless salesclerks at Abercrombie & Fitch (perhaps only for the more controversial and poignant world concerns like, "Can there ever be peace in the Middle East?" or "Which provides the best results with the least effort; tanning spray, tanning beds, or going granola and engaging in sunbathing outdoors?" (I promise to ask the tough questions)); 







5) I will listen to the voices in my head;







6) Realising of course that episodic TV, commercial movies, and everything on the internet are ALL 'factual' and mirror that of our everyday lives, I will definitely tap into this great source of provocative and meaningful subjects and truths. For an excellent example of their continued use of critical thinking and their wise without words ideals, one only has to look at the established and highly regarded, 'One outfit: All the time, every time', philosophy. This movement still used today by high profile rich geniuses, like Facebook creator 'Um what's his name? The guy in the hoodie.', was first established by leading edge productions like 'The Flintstones' (1960), and later duplicated by award winning reality shows like 'The Simpsons', and was even further triplificated (my word) by what I am pretty sure was deemed by Rolling Stone Magazine as, 'the show that sets the stage for what society is today' or maybe it was Time Magazine in any case that 'show' being 'Family Guy';



And the seventh and final source of my flawlessly relevant topics will be retrieved via my telekinetic skills that I hope to one day acquire from the inevitable crash of a truck filled with toxic radioactive material that instead of killing me gives me superpowers.... of course.





Stay tuned... Provided I figure out how to operate Windows 8, on a computer not Windows 8 compatible, the first of my many awesome new 2.0 blog posts will come to you live (not really live, as I will write it at some point during the day or evening and then post it - it's not like I am going to video and stream me writing my post)... Wait!  Hello, who wouldn't want to watch that... let's keep that one in our back pocket for later, it sounds like Oscar material...


Talk to y'all soon...
