My world has been invaded by unstable humans. Perhaps the planets have aligned or the moon has changed it’s course and enabled the craziest among us to be seen. Whatever the cause. . .their GPS systems have directed them straight to me and I am fighting back!
It all started a month ago when a friend’s true personality surfaced, setting into motion a barrage of irrational accusations, arguments and emotional consequences. One person after another followed in her footsteps. I reacted by deleting, removing and blocking all traces of them from my online world. (including the remake of my VOICES film)
Finally, after much work, the crazies have been removed from my life and I made this video as a warning to all others. Of course, I eventually found humor in the situation and THE CRAZY TRAIN reflects that.

feeling less than
different than
the wall flower
the only child
the special child
told by my mommy
and treated like a queen
daddy gave me all he could
he never made more than 8.00 an hour
in his whole long life
surprisingly he gave me
something to hang on to
in my old age
the crazies
the old maids
the old timers
dementia
demented
they hid behind the curtains
looked out to see
who was out there
they let us in then went to the other room
talking quietly
bringing out presents
oh what joy
something they always had made by hand
giving it to me for I was their special little snooks
I miss my crazies….
for when I lived in Harper with my little diner
all the crazies came to my place to eat
and hang out
and just be
I miss my crazies…
they were my friends
These words would make a great visual narration piece. Filmed in moody light with contrasting images. . . gives one something creative to think about.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Jim. When things in life get too weird…make a video.
I did not understand the relevance of the political video link you posted in connection with my video about deleting facebook friends, so I removed it. However, I do enjoy political opinion and appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog. As the election grows closer…I will post a few rants geared toward politics.
No…I will never be bullied into telling you how wonderful you are UNLESS …I feel you deserve it…and only for the things I think you have done that are worthwhile discussing…which is a lot BTW…but do not let that go to your head young man…ha ha…
Love the image of the train …you are a great video man. !Keep making them.
Funny thing about that train is… we bought it 5 years ago for under the Christmas tree and never once set it up. There was hope I would use it one day, but had no idea for what. Ever since video making came about in our lives, all objects are looked upon as props now. I found a tiny, oddly shaped piece of metal on the floor of the garage yesterday (from the water heater repair last week) and I promptly added it to my prop box. One day…
I cannot tell you Now how many times since seeing the video that I have used the term “The Crazy Train” Im serious LOL It just fits so many situations and I too now have deleted several crazies off my FB and else where.
You GO girl!!! Better be careful though, people are like potato chips, it’s hard to delete just one!
