I haven’t posted lately due to a rather nasty case of melancholy. It’s my bipolar illness acting up again after lying dormant for more than a year. My pdoc claims it’s “that time of year for bipolars” but there are other loathsome, personal factors involved that I’m too ashamed to admit.

The Habitizer, a cool online tool to help you get your affairs in better order. It’s free, easy to understand, takes little time, but the payoff could be huge.

Live in a Happier Home
See Movies of my Dreams
Be a better Father, Son, Boyfriend, Brother, Friend
Take Mental Pictures to last a Lifetime
Get a new Tattoo
