Haaaaaaaaaaah, yes. I am alive and well. Thought I died? Well I did. I'm a whole new gal. Much stupidity has gone down in my life, failed relationships, lost friendships, growing and learning... Over all I'd have to say every mistake I made along the way was well worth it. I'm no longer engaged, I'm out of school, and am still perusing my love of photography. Overall I'm happy as a clam, love my family and my art, and am ready for whatever life has to toss my way.

RATANPUR, Nepal (Nov. 12) - The teenage boy revered by many as a reincarnation of Buddha sat silently in the jungle as he blessed his devotees Wednesday with a light tap on the head, which they consider the touch of the divine.
His face was still, his long hair spilled over his white robe, and he never said a word.

The followers of Ram Bahadur Bamjan, 18, believe he has been meditating without food and water since he was first spotted in the jungles of southern Nepal in 2005, when believers say he spent months without moving, sitting with his eyes closed beneath a tree.

Bamjan re-emerged this week to meet his followers, who have come by the thousands to see him in the jungles of Ratanpur, about 100 miles south of Katmandu.

"I got a chance to see God today," Bishnu Maya Khadka, a housewife, said after receiving Bamjan's blessing Wednesday. "They say he is Buddha, but for me he is just God."

Bamjan was expected to address his followers on Nov. 18 and then retreat again into the jungle for meditation, said Kamal Tamang, a Buddhist priest.
Bamjan received the pilgrims from atop a podium covered in yellow cloth and placed before a massive tree. He looked healthy and strong and showed no signs of starvation or dehydration.

Buddhism, which has about 325 million followers, mostly in Asia, teaches that every soul is reincarnated after death in another bodily form.

But several Buddhist scholars have been skeptical of the claims that Bamjan is a reincarnation of Siddhartha Gautama, who was born in southwestern Nepal roughly 2,500 years ago and became revered as the Buddha, or Enlightened One.
"Being Buddha means the last birth and the highest level that can be achieved. There can be no reincarnation of Buddha, even though Buddhists believe in life after death," said Rakesh, a Buddhist scholar in Katmandu who goes by only one name.

"Meditating without food does not prove that he is the reincarnation of Buddha," said Min Bahadur Shakya of the Nagarjuna Institute of Exact Methods, a Buddhist research center in Katmandu. "There is much study needed to be done."

Bamjan has never addressed the subject in any of his speeches.

The devotees who have flocked to visit him have fewer doubts. Colorful prayer flags fluttered and incense filled the air Wednesday as the pilgrims silently approached Bamjan, who was surrounded by a line of Buddhist monks.

"I have no doubt in my mind he is a god," said Meg Bahadur Lama, a local farmer. "He has been meditating without food and water and no human can achieve such a feat. I used to hear about such miracles in the past but now I got to see one."

Yes, yes, I'm back. I knooowwww, look at the clock. Not my fault I'm still awake at 4:20 in the morning. No, it's NOT to smoke, bitches.

If you are easily insulted, go elsewhere. If not....read this, lol. Well, this is a little something I wrote for creative writing. It's life in the perspective of a mental patient. Ahh, yes, and a happy early Halloween to you all.

They're poisoning me...those nurses with their slender, smooth legs, and their needles and pills. The devil hides under their dresses. They are filthy. Everything is filthy. Reluctantly, every day, I take the little white cup from their hand with the same three little pills in it. White, blue, and pink...or are they red? I can't tell anymore. I only take them because I don't want the doctors to take my mind. Benny refused to take his pills four months ago, and he has never been the same. Something happened to him, something horrible. He was gone for such a long time, and when he returned, he couldn't speak. He hasn't spoken a word since.
I swallow the pills with no water. I refuse to drink water. I refuse to eat food. I need to keep my body as pure as possible. I lost both of my parents to cancer, and I can't take any risks. I can't let food sit inside my stomach and turn into tumors. I'm sure that is how people get sick and die. I'm sure of that, I really am.
I don't know how much longer they are going to keep me in here. I'm sure I'll be in here for many years after I'm dead. Benny told me that they'll never bury me next to my parents.
"They'll leave your body to rot, and the doctors will come in and jack off on your corpse," he would say. "The nurses will smash in your brains with their heeled shoes, and there will be nothing left of who you once were."
I don't want to be filthy. I can't stand it in here any longer. The door bleeds, and my bed smells like vomit. I tell nurse Sheryl about the stench every day. "Looks clean to me, Eddy," the nurse with the short, flaming red hair tells me in a soft, comforting voice as she tried to make me eat apple sauce. Why is she lying to me? All the women in my life lie! My wife was a liar, my high school sweetheart was a liar, and so was my mother. They can't be trusted. Never.
Benny was most of what I had left of a companion. He knew what they were up to. His voice was deep and husky. It's been so long since he's spoken, I've started forgetting what he used to sound like. He still sits next to me in the television room and we still play basketball during exercise time. His eyes have changed so much. They look so empty and black. They used to be the most beautiful shade of blue. Like a calm ocean. I feel like I've lost him. I think he's going crazy.

I've recently become obsessed with Dethklok\Metalocalypse.

This is a really sweet song. I hope someone sings it to me on my birthday.


Birthday Dethday

Many years ago today something grew
inside of your mother...
That thing was you

YOU

YOU YOU YOU YOU

Did she scream did she cry
Only those that are born are the ones that
Get to die

One more year closer to dying
Rotting organs ripping grinding
Biological discordance
Birthday equals self abhorrence

Years keep passing aging always
Mutate into vapid slugs
Doctor gives a new perscription
Bullet in a fucking gun

One more year closer to dying
Plastic surgeons fuel the lying
You forget why you came in here
Your mind rots with every New Year

RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life

Happy Birthday
You're gonna die

Now you're old and full of hatred
Take a pill to masturbate it
Children point to you and scream
Because they will become that thing

One more year of further suffering
There's no point of fucking bluffing
Open up your DETHDAY present
It's a box of fucking nothing

RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life

DIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAY
DIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAY

RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life

Happy Birthday
You're gonna die
