Insane or what?
This weekend I briefly encountered one of the most--off the wall, insane people in town and I actually made him laugh and he really SPOKE to me actual words and didn't scream at me like he does everyone else!!!....write this one down in the history books people!
Whenever I am forced into a face to face situation I usually don't panic when I am faced with the probability of a conversation I just wing it and always bring in humor and laugh a lot...that's how I deal with situations involving insanity...I just laugh..I've learned to..life is crazy and about 99% of all of us humans are too....so who knows what'll happen! be prepared and laugh.....all you can do I say..especially when it comes to other human beings....
This guy in town is really spooky to everyone in town...he's been homeless, a bad drug addict, he's stays in bad health....and he doesn't talk to people he just screams at them...Everyone says he has been declared insane and was in an asylum at one time..but he ran out of money$ or left for whatever reason and roams all over town...I always have felt sorry for the guy and people like him ya know?.....he's burnt his brain from all the drugs they say...very sad.
anyway this weekend I was standing in line to pay for my breakfast at the café and he walked up beside me and he was in my way..i said nicely:"Excuse me sir,i need to get by.".....I wasn't thinking about who he was at the moment because I never pay much attention in the mornings...everyone completely stops talking and they all stared like:"Uh-oh!"....he looked like he was going to scream at me so I said:"Is this the café or the casino? there's so many people in here talking I can't tell the difference!"...and I laughed...it was dumb to say, but I said it nervously...
He looked at me and he laughed:"All we're missin' is some machines and tables."....Everyone including me was SHOCKED he replied back in a normal speaking voice..not screaming!!!...So I laughed back and I said:"Haha..yeah and the strippers!"....(because they're always at the casino looking for guys in the early hours!..gross).....Haha..you know me-anything that pops into my thoughts i'll make a joke out of it!...he laughed and laughed at me saying that and then he smiled at me and he said:"You have a good day young'un"....then he left...LOL....everyone in the café looks at me and they're like:"OMG you just talked to him and he didn't scream Jules! holy sh*t!!!".....
i'm proud of that!....I talked to the un-talkable without getting screamed at....holy cow!...everyone always says i'm easy to get along with and down to earth...they must be right....I just like to think I treat everyone equal and as a real person who does have meaning in the world..mentally ill or not or whatever-they just wanna know they matter I suppose ya know?..I always go out of my way to be nice regardless of the insanity they may be....but I would avoid a dangerous unstable person/situation of course...but this conversation was sorta forced...
Little fyi for you-----Oklahoma needs A LOT of money invested in many more mental health hospitals/clinics and programs..our state falls short in that area of care for people....and I am NOT joking when I say that...Oklahoma needs to spend some money on getting the mental health clinics/hospitals for those people...lots of people in this state need that mental health care and are left without it...kicked out, untreated, and they just roam town and cause trouble like he does...unending cycle with them...really heartbreaking to see...
