Damn. You want me to pick one word today to go off of. I should have gotten on with nail-biting earlier in the day so that I would have time to sit down a type out something intellectual. Instead, you will get this, after I've had ten cups of black tea in the Red Light district with my good friend Sally, a retired waitress and a damn good saxophonist who love to blow that horn.

I tell you what. Let's play: three lies and one truth. The first person to guess correctly will get a tip (HIVE only) from me (an unknown amount) simple because I want to use the tip option that has just come out within the peakd platform. Many will enter. Only one will win and you only get one shot per person. Okay, let's go.

(1) I'm currently staying with people who like to crossdress and feed their child a bunch of sugar so that he will run around the house screaming all day long.

(2) I live in the hills where I see at least five drunks clamoring up the hill thinking that they are chasing dear.

(3) Being that today is Sat., I got together with my teacher and others from the community to check in and see if we are all doing alright.

(4) I'm secretly Batman. I've chosen to live the life of a poor man so that I may experience what the have-nots experience on a daily basis.

Did you see it? The price of HIVE is above 0.50 cents. How exciting. It seems like we are doing something right here. Steem had been down in the dumps for a little over a year and was falling even before that as I was just jumping back on.

For this post, I'm just rushing it today.

I finally tried drinking baking soda with water. I've been drinking tap water since I've been inside. Gross stuff. Do you know the health benefits of baking soda?

1. Antacid Effect (Acid Reflux & HeartBurn):
2. Prevent Kidney Stones:
3. Treat Gout:
4. Constipation Relief:
5. Alkalize the Body (PH Balance):
6. Cures Urinary Infections (UTI):
7. Indigestion (Stomach Cleanse):
8. Treat Morning Sickness:
9. Prevent Cancer:

Add some lemon and you have one killer concoction to battle quite a few ailments. Why doesn't Western Medicine tell us of these things? Oh, that right. Western medicine is not in the business of curing people. That is not their business model. They need to keep you sick but healthy-ish so that you will depend on them and come back to get what they are selling.

I've been on this kind of kick recently. So many people turn to Western science like a religion when the first manufacturing plants for these chemicals (a.k.a. drugs or medicine) was build around 1870. Meanwhile, Eastern medicine (often demonized the Westerners who get their ingredients from the people and plants they demonize) has been around for over 4,000 years! Yet, here in the west, only Western science is ever considered by the masses. Something ain't right here.

Well, I think I've got on long enough for this night. Peace be with you all during these strange times. And, please, unless you are a super bad and fucked up person, don't go drinking bleach or Lysol or any dangerous cleaning product and don't shot up with it either (unless you're into meth which contains a long list dangerous chemicals). Furthermore, while you're at it, throw that shit out of your house, responsibility. Find yourself some natural cleaning products. You'll feel better in the long run.

AND!!!, stop listening to that racist in that big White House. Your health is at stake.
