Life on the Merry-Go-Round
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006As I expected…just about all my emails and phone calls after blogging about being in LA’s The Place all started with "Oh Beautiful One…" and then it was either followed with things like "It’s so nice to be graced with your presence…" or "what do I owe the privilege and why would you want to be talk with us ugly people?"…JUST as I expected…The teasing has begun. I’m OK with it. I should save the voicemails and put them on my next CD.
Actually, I was having a very depressing day yesterday and the article helped to get my mind off other things. I was still feeling down, but having something else to focus on and be silly about was nice. Like many others out there, this time of year is not always the greatest for me, but what got me in the slump was a conversation I had with my mother. She had lunch with my father yesterday and told me that he’s not doing well MENTALLY. Apparently, they were sitting at a table in a restaurant and my dad got up to use the restroom and when he came out of the bathroom…he got lost and didn’t know where he was. My mom said he’s forgetful and repeating himself and it’s a little freaky.
When I last saw my dad over a year ago, I DO remember him repeating himself but not to the point where I was alarmed. I thought perhaps it was just that he’s getting older and/or I make him nervous since we have a very strained relationship as it is. I never really spend more than 40 minutes with him a year so It’s hard for me to tell what’s "normal" with him and what’s not but my mother on the other hand, knows what is and isn’t freaky for him. I’m pretty sure getting lost and not knowing where you are is not normal for anyone though. :[
Anyway…so that’s sort of what was going on. Exciting huh!
Off subject, I found this picture taken not too long ago and it made me smile. I look like a horse on a Merry-Go-Round….that’s pretty much my life as it is. I just hope I’m not doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over.

Last time I had some comments about some of the other photos looking posed…So when my Reality Show called Being Bob Gentry airs on BRAVO this will show that I am indeed spontaneous
