Welcome To The Lawless Society. Issue #15.

The Adventures of Sheetman
|
||
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
||
|
||
If you are an avid reader of TLS files, you must CERTAINLY remember the
|
||
one describing my extreme boredom brought on from a move to a different town.
|
||
Well, basically, the boredom or loneliness is still the same, but work and
|
||
college have seemed to suck up most of the idle time that I used to have. Yes,
|
||
it does make things a bit more tolerable, but still boring.
|
||
|
||
Anyway, in that episode, I mentioned the reason for my relocation - My
|
||
stepfather. Well, at the time I got a lot of responses telling me that they
|
||
found my description of my stepfather as somewhat numerous. Comments like
|
||
"Brainchild" and "Wonderboy" were used as colorful descriptions of his
|
||
personality.
|
||
|
||
I feel, in the light of recent events, that a follow up on Wonder Boy is
|
||
not only necessary, but it may even brighten your day. EVERYTHING in here is
|
||
100% true, although you will surely doubt a few examples. Here it goes.
|
||
|
||
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
||
|
||
Living away from my parental units (again) has changed my view of my
|
||
stepfather. I am no longer FORCED to deal with his lunacy and ridiculous
|
||
philosophies on how I should live my life. (Life according to Wonderboy.)
|
||
It has changed from a viewpoint full of anger and rage, to one of humor and
|
||
gratitude (that I no longer have to live in his world.)
|
||
|
||
Last March, My mother got out of the Looney Bin (as I so often call places
|
||
concerning mental health - Ironically, I'm about a step away from one myself.)
|
||
When she returned she found my stepfather showing signs of what she thought
|
||
was regret (at himself for having driven me out of the house single handedly.)
|
||
She would call me and tell me this, but I never did believe her. I knew there
|
||
HAD to be something else behind his so-called sadness. I thought this mainly
|
||
because in the 13 years that i have been acquainted with him, I never knew him
|
||
to regret a thing....not even the most obvious screw-up in his personal life.
|
||
|
||
For those who DON'T know, my stepfather is a Manic-Depressive. My mother
|
||
is also manic depressive, but in normal state is depressive. Stepdad is
|
||
normally manic. His Lithium keeps him in a mostly normal state of mind. When
|
||
mom went into the looney bin in Arizona, Bob (my stepfather) decided not to
|
||
listen to the countless doctors who told him drinking alcohol would anhialate
|
||
his lithium balance, and he decided to drink anyway. That is what led to the
|
||
episode described in the earlier textfile. To sum it up, I would either be
|
||
forced to kill him, or move out. So, I moved out. When mom got back his
|
||
lithium balance was thrown off in the other direction because of his sudden
|
||
stopation of drinking. THAT is what was responsible for his so-called sorrow
|
||
for fucking me over. :)
|
||
|
||
In May, he decided that he didn't need to take his lithium anymore. He
|
||
said, "I'm a Man, and no little chemical can control my life. I can do it
|
||
myself." Just in case you don't know, the primary symptom of a Manic
|
||
Depressive is not taking their medicine. Especially in Normally Manic
|
||
patients. Well, he went to his normal medical doctor and told him he was
|
||
feeling fine without his medicine (What Manic wouldn't?) Well, moron (Doctor
|
||
Gilliberti who has an office on jack Martin Blvd. in BrickTown) said that was
|
||
good, and he didn't need his medicine anymore.
|
||
|
||
Well, that is when the fun began. Hang on, this is gonna get funny. He
|
||
went into a manic fit that lasted several weeks. Since I was not there, I
|
||
cannot give you the events in order of occurrence, but I will just throw them
|
||
at the wall and see what sticks. Here they are.
|
||
|
||
|
||
1) On a shopping trip to Caldors in Brick, he went up to several strangers
|
||
who were also shopping (mostly fat bald men - I dunno why) and grabbed their
|
||
nose and pulled till the person screamed. My mother was with him and couldn't
|
||
believe what was going on. BUT she didn't think anything unusual of this YET
|
||
(Go figure.)
|
||
|
||
2) On a trip to the beach, Wonderboy heard a group of 3 surf punks say the
|
||
word "FUCK". Well, he approached them and said "Now listen guys.....There's no
|
||
cursing on this beach, no cursing is allowed. By the way, My name is Bob
|
||
[shaking their hands]" They were shocked, but Bob eventually left to enjoy the
|
||
sand and sun. On their way out, the 3 surf punks turned into 8, and one of
|
||
them said the word "FUCK" again. Well, Bob went up to them again, and said
|
||
"Now look guys, I warned you. There's no cursing on this beach. Now, you can
|
||
curse, but only if it's used in the form of an adjective." So, to be a
|
||
ballbuster, one of the surfpunks said "You mean, we can say 'There's no
|
||
fucking cursing allowed on this beach?'" Bob replied, "Now ya got it. By the
|
||
way, My name's Bob [Shaking their hands again]." As he was leaving, one of
|
||
the surfers said "Bye BOB"....Bob walked up to him, stared at him intensely,
|
||
grabbed his nose and pulled.....Needless to say, the surfpunk screamed and ran
|
||
away thinking a lunatic is after him.
|
||
|
||
3) Seems at this time, Bob wore 3 wristwatches. One 5 minutes behind, one on
|
||
time, and one 5 minutes ahead. When asked about it, he replied "I working on a
|
||
mathematical equation to solve this problem we have with time. If we can just
|
||
eliminate this problem [The Space/Time Continuum] everything will run
|
||
smoothly."
|
||
|
||
4) Another primary symptom of normally manic patients is a lack of sleep.
|
||
Seems, on his way to work everyday, Bob would NOT go to work, but stop on the
|
||
side of any of he 3 major highways he happened to be on, pull over, lay down
|
||
on the side of an embankment, and admire nature. This is normal, eh?
|
||
|
||
5) Seems his delusion of former manic episodes (The one about him being
|
||
Sheetman - A Super Hero who wears a sheet as a cape) returned.
|
||
|
||
6) As he stated to my mother when she asked who he thinks he is, he said
|
||
"Don't worry, I don't think I'm god....just second in command." He said he
|
||
wasn't as powerful as god, but could still accomplish almost anything.
|
||
|
||
This IS THE MAN, My MOTHER LOVES.
|
||
|
||
Needless to say, he was committed to a mental hospital. Since then he has
|
||
been discharged and is living somewhat of a normal life again. The funny thing
|
||
is, he still doesn't see anything wrong in the things he did or thought when
|
||
he was in a manic episode.
|
||
|
||
|
||
I know this is one of the shortest TLS files, but I don't think anyone
|
||
else is working on one, so I'll just release this one as it is. Hope ya
|
||
enjoyed it.
