The Brick Wall School of Enlightenment.
Bang your skull on that wall long enough and you might learn something.
Bang it really hard and you are probably a frustrated knitter.
Knitting content does happen once in a great while.
Bitching happens a lot more frequently.
Sooner or latter we all get enlightened.
Every year I have dressed for Halloween, until this year.
For years I got ditched by my "friend", and ended up at home in my costume, crying.
Naturally, she would post pictures of what a great time she had on Facebook.
She pulled this act on several holidays for several years before I snapped and put an end to it 6 months ago.
Part of me still loves Halloween, but I am glad I can just sit, play with the cat, watch crappy horror movies, and feel good about myself instead of feeling like the butt of someone's cruel joke.
Now that I got off my butt and updated the iOS on my phone, there are all kinds of apps I can suddenly use.
This is one of them.
Hopefully, I have been gone long enough that the loonies have gotten bored and moved on so I can write in peace.
Yeah, it's been awhile.
Been thinking and getting PTSD under control.

Chester Arthur Burnett (June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976), better known as Howlin' Wolf, was an influential American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.
With a booming voice and looming physical presence, Burnett is commonly ranked among the leading performers in electric blues; musician and critic Cub Koda declared, "no one could match Howlin' Wolf for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits."[1] Many songs popularized by Burnett—such as "Smokestack Lightnin'," "Back Door Man" and "Spoonful"—have become standards of blues and blues rock.
At 6 feet, 6 inches (198 cm) and close to 300 pounds (136 kg), he was an imposing presence with one of the loudest and most memorable voices of all the "classic" 1950s Chicago blues singers. Howlin' Wolf's voice has been compared to "the sound of heavy machinery operating on a gravel road". This rough-edged, slightly fearsome musical style is often contrasted with the less crude but still powerful presentation of his contemporary and professional rival, Muddy Waters - although the two were reportedly not that different in actual personality - to describe the two pillars of the Chicago blues representing the music.
Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller), Little Walter Jacobs and Muddy Waters are usually regarded in retrospect as the greatest blues artists who recorded for Chess in Chicago. Sam Phillips once remarked, "When I heard Howlin' Wolf, I said, 'This is for me. This is where the soul of man never dies.'" In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #51 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
