Skirting The Zombie Threshold
I used the following dorky pic in at least one post so far. My instinct tells me I’ll be using it as a “context enabler” for (hopefully) many future cancer posts…
Since I’m a newly minted medical marijuana program patient in the great state of NY, I’ve been trying to find just the right dosage of cannabis for me to effectively handle those pesky “pop up” peripheral neuropathy hot pain flashes, constant numbness in my lower extremities, and newly-acquired anxiety flare-ups. The trick is to handle those wonderful cancer complications while simultaneously remaining consciously functional on a deterministic basis.
Of course, since I was, ummmm, a moderate cannabis user when I was younger, I preferred to err on the side of over-medication. My motto back then was to gradually increase the dosage until I started: “Skirting The Zombie Threshold!“.
The pics below show examples of successful and unsuccessful dosing regimens. In the top pic, the transition from “pain” to “zombie” is quick and effective. The result is that the pain is kicked out of mind and the user lives happily in the present moment. She’s skirting the zombie threshold. Whoo Hoo!
The self-dosing attempt in the lower pic is an example of an abysmal failure. Since the zombie threshold is woefully unattained throughout the duration, thoughts of pain seize the day by holding the mind hostage to their incessant need for unfettered attention. I hate when that happens 😦
Actually, “Skirting The Zombie Threshold!” was never my motto. I just made that shite up on the fly because Eckhart Tolle told me to, and….. I’m the mighty BD00..
Dear BD00, Eckhart Tolle is occult! Don’t fall in the abyss of the occult! Suggest you try confession and communion instead! http://orthochristian.com/45497.html https://blogs.ancientfaith.com/morningoffering/2019/07/coming-home-4/
I was just cleaning up my bookmarks (didn’t do that for years), and checked your blog. I had your Brandolini’s Law post bookmarked for reasons I don’t remember anymore. Anyway I checked your recent posts, and I’m sorry to see what happened since 2014. I had too many family members lost to this. I wish you the best, and hope you live your life as good as you can, and have joy, and happiness till time lets you.
Thank you for the kind words. ❤️
