after a male friend of mine encouraged me<br />
<br />
to get my writing out there by putting this up. Without him,<br />
it's very doubtful I ever would have done such a thing. The blog<br />
has evolved and changed and become so many different things.<br />
<br />
It has helped me to keep writing, stay organized with my writing,<br />
set goals I either did or did not achieve, and expanded my ability<br />
to try new things.<br />
<br />
It can't do everything, though, like help me get out of targeting,<br />
help with a cure for CF, improve my chances of getting published,<br />
or finding a good job somewhere.<br />
<br />
I started the blog around the time Obama took office, and I am <br />
very happy with the hits I've gotten, the good vibes where there<br />
used to be hatred and bitterness toward me, the feeling of having<br />
<br />
people to write for. Some day if you are reading this, you will know<br />
just how prolific I was during this time as a writer. I have enjoyed<br />
every day of it, and most of it has been for you, when I'm gone.<br />
<br />
I don't think anyone will remove the blog, but I may print out the<br />
last couple of years into books, just to have a physical copy in case<br />
it's not there anymore.<br />
<br />
Today is the first day I've had severe head pain in over 3 weeks,<br />
and I can't remember a worse feeling than waking up to a Trump<br />
presidency. All year I've been fighting for you, for Obamacare,<br />
and now it will be gone.<br />
<br />
Who needs America anymore when you've got Alex? Who needs an <br />
audience anymore? Who needs to write?<br />
<br />
I've played around with the end before, but I'm laying it down now,<br />
as every soldier would. It's yours. You can have it. There not one<br />
person in this country who voted for Trump that deserves my writing,<br />
<br />
my love, my pictures, my art, my fighting. I'll be leaving it now<br />
up to others to carry the torch. Grutzworks will live on.sgrutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551329674473315199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211620800716803.post-29281499950572470482016-11-08T15:21:00.001-06:002016-11-08T15:21:19.708-06:003 strikes, you're out!The first one is not believing, not supporting, and not wanting to talk about targeting,<br />
<br />
"Are you taking your meds?"<br />
<br />
The second was, not wanting to hear, not caring, and not reaching out emotionally <br />
to my set ups on sz.com.<br />
<br />
The third one was not giving a shit if my daughter had health care or not,<br />
and caring more about a supposed cost.<br />
<br />

I told you my daughter would have nothing without Obamacare,<br />
it's a very expensive disease. I've been fighting this issue all year,<br />

<br />
up for 2 or 3 hours last night, the beer used to help me sleep,<br />
<br />
and we had it in the fridge, but I told myself<br />
<br />
No way in hell am I having a beer right now.<br />
<br />
Here's what's happened.<br />
<br />
My doc told me to drink my green tea with lemon juice<br />
at the same time as my beer,<br />
<br />
until I can quit the beer, and replace it permanently.<br />
And it worked.<br />
<br />
But now I'm addicted to tea.<br />
<br />
So, until I can limit that, I'll be fine.<br />
<br />
Another thing has happened.<br />
<br />
Love.<br />
<br />
I feel love, like Donna Summer,<br />
and I feel strong, and invincible because of it.<br />
<br />
I'm going to tell Phil,<br />
as soon as he's done watching Perry Mason.sgrutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551329674473315199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211620800716803.post-9273538572588597592016-11-07T07:01:00.001-06:002016-11-07T07:01:15.820-06:00Because I was a poet firstI would hope anyone reading my works<br />

The young man wears the white flag like
a sling just to measure the healing weight of what would have

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
been a cloud a sign a long invisible
letter securing it to his shoulder to stop any force that went too
far<br />

</div>
extended into the night moonlight
pulled in without feeling he won't fight a sleepless night when a

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

steady dawn holds his face tight as any
arm that wrestled him on the blue mat he doesn't want to give

up anything that would lose his ground
a layer of snow or a splash of paint or spilled milk but when he

his rib and nothing will bring him down

<br />
Of course all these musicians make it look so easy, and he was no different, with the finger picking<br />
and the ups and down on the guitar.<br />
<br />
The most pleasant thing about his set was that he didn't do one cover, all the material was original.<br />
And the songs, his beautiful tone, pulled you in for an ear embrace, or a cure for a headache.<br />
<br />
My favorite song he did was Solitude, and I felt it really hit its mark with his sound,<br />
the way he looked, and the unpatronizing, no nonsense approach.<br />
<br />
He will be in Chicago next, and if you're there, I'd recommend you go see him.<br />

have been challenged by the fact that anyone can be a reporter,<br />a blogger, a video maker,<br />
<br />
and we don't have to count on ownership or bias.<br />
<br />
Too often though, those who sell the books<br />have to be known, because we are trained by trusting<br />
the masses. <br />
<br />
There actually needs to be ways of marketing<br />fresh ideas and insights, and it starts with these power lords.<br />
<br />
If they aren't recommending and supporting outside of the establishment,<br />say, those who have MFA's, those who have their own shows,<br />or columns, the thought of knowledge stays stagnant.sgrutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551329674473315199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211620800716803.post-71632014256181141362016-11-02T11:04:00.003-05:002016-11-02T11:04:55.250-05:00Today's art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
that seems high, and kind of scary to the average person who labels such<br />
person with criminal intent, or dangerous to society.<br />
<br />
She wants to make mental health care the same as physical health care.<br />
<br />
That kind of thought, coupled with gun control, should pacify the general public,<br />
and create a society based on control.<br />
<br />
I'm on the one hand offended by thinking someone with diabetes is the same as me,<br />
and wanting people to understand the difficulties, and on the other hand,<br />
<br />
feeling the need to break stigma and silence around my condition.<br />
<br />
Trump's idea is to let parents of adult sufferers have greater access<br />
to their child's health care,<br />
<br />
in hopes to save more lives, especially in rehab, and psych wards.<br />
<br />
I see a problem with this too, because parental abuse could happen.<br />
<br />
Anyway, glad they are talking about the issue. I wish they would offer<br />
resident docs getting out of school to get their loans forgiven by moving<br />
<br />
into rural areas. I wish we got what Hollywood gets for rehab, or wards,<br />
instead of jail, like a mini vacation to feel better.sgrutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551329674473315199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211620800716803.post-62660759194462200612016-11-01T11:21:00.002-05:002016-11-01T11:21:26.843-05:00my psychedelic christmas tree/bush today<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then I had those trolls, might have triggered me.<br />
<br />
sitting at computer in my bedroom with the door shut,<br />
hearing the tv on in the living room, an old western was on.<br />
<br />
Went out there, nothing was on, and everyone was asleep.<br />
<br />
Telling Phil, giving him a back rub, seeing pen drawings<br />
of caricatures on his shirt, moving.<br />
<br />
Tried to sleep, couldn't, then off and on, terrible, frightening dreams.<br />
<br />
I only had two beers last night.<br />
<br />
ahhh, what a year. I was getting positive symptoms in the spring too.<br />
What in the heck, Beth, I'm 47 years old.<br />

<br />
They are all local numbers.<br />
<br />
When I texted back the final time saying Fucking leave me alone,<br />
the one woman texted back, Get a grip....<br />
<br />
to say in other words, I'm up for grabs by anyone, and that's just the way it is.<br />
<br />
Then I called the number, she didn't answer, and I kept calling until she did,<br />
then called her every name in the book,<br />
but she had probably hung up.<br />
<br />
I've gotten this before on my phone, "Oh, my roommate must have called the wrong number."<br />
then they keep calling, and calling.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm thinking this is just a Halloween stunt,<br />
<br />
and it IS targeting related.sgrutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01551329674473315199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244211620800716803.post-59198769988480210552016-10-31T15:33:00.003-05:002016-10-31T15:33:26.103-05:00Holidays tree<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Dead</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
The woman in the ripped dress has dead
hands dead face and dead feet but wears a smile all over her
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
body between the seams she has vacant
look as some building she kept dreams in was destroyed<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
long time the day will be gone for
something caught on a handle or chair or nail in a bench the colors
of
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
the sky torn over a tree or that kind
of piercing look you give when I'm saying something nothing cuts
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
into her skin she is wearing layers as
they used to write checks and the copy in her eyes is your eyes<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
I've seen her often on your face an
unfolded paper fan of the skin or ripples on the water often I knew
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
this woman would steal my heart down
along the drowning of sunlight which makes everything as old
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
as a too ripened fruit who would bob
from such heights as these with another to exchange a kiss<br />

I'm giving out Reese's peanut butter cups, a Dum/Dum sucker, a Halloween gummy,<br />
a granola bar, and an oatmeal sandwich. The baggies have stickers on them.<br />
