it is like a manic episode

except

a manic episode fills you with fear & paranoia

while this fills you with the opposite of that

you just know, this is not illness
No, manic is what you're doing. Have you been gambling?

it's not manic, because there is no roller coaster

it's like coming off of a roller coaster,

the roller coaster is what everybody else is riding

From firsthand experience, I know someone can be manic without the depression aftermath, but there is a trough. Because you've often spoke poetically, I'm excusing it as exploring new rhetorical battlegrounds, and I've seen you manipulate the flow of conversations before using the same technique. However, it also sounds like a high; which I also recognize firsthand.

you do have to let it come

like you can't resist your spiritual side

it's not about thumping the bible

it really is like a trinity

the mountain standing behind you, the ghost is inside of you, you can't look over your shoulder at it,

you can only look at it, reflected in yourself, like a mirror

no worries

I'm not threatened

like I say, fountain of youth, the only thing that set me off lately, was a guy trying to hustle my wife

StA might come by later. But only to gloat if Biden wins. ;)
I miss him in here.
Gloating without earning it is a deletable offense.

Monte has earned some but can't go over the top...
Gloat is such an ugly word.

that's what it's like

it's right behind you

but you can't bring yourself to turn around and look right at it

so you look at the reflection of it, over your shoulder, like it's in a mirror

We went out with a musician couple we met at the clubs for dinner, and during the conversation, they were telling us that at one of the clubs there was a Swinger's group other people had described to them. After listening a bit, I recognized they were talking about Gwynne & me, but they didn't catch it; now other people are going to think they're swingers too.

Moral of this story: associate with a beautiful woman and people's thoughts will eventually go there because they want some too.
