16:15

This week's episode (originally recorded for YouTube November, 2015) discusses the extraordinary measures people will go to to maintain a dangerous addiction, the perilous misadventures endured, the ambivalence experienced in making the grave decision to start a life of recovery, and, with hope and hard work, the amazing life one can live, free fro…

A brief message for those who are new to either #MADCITYSTREETS or the Madcitypodcast... Enjoy!👇😎🤍💥💯...On a macro scale, nothing any of us does makes a lot of difference.

S2Ep.8 ~ Out for a walk and a good joke. 33:57

3+ y ago33:57

33:57

Going out for a walk and a good joke, remembering old friends and always thinking about death and suicide can get a little heavy, even for me. But I still see the value in talking about all of these topics. ESPECIALLY a good joke. Btw, the punchline is "And it's STILL not as offensive as wearing blackface!" L🤡L Of course you'll have listen to the e…

Alice went to Wonderland, the Pirate tripped over a Pink Flamingo & we're decidedly late for a date‼ 58:37

3+ y ago58:37

58:37

I've been to a lotta strange places, had a lotta weird experiences, but if I'm never to dream the same dream as those whose souls rest well in the darkness, like ink wells, spilled out like oily Gulf birds the bleedin hearts 💕 can't quite catch! But they feel it. It's not good, like the fart noises our bodies make while "Makin' with the love!" Than…

S2 Ep.6 ~ WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE⁉️ 30:45

3+ y ago30:45

30:45

Of the many causes for concern in western society and American culture in particular, there is one indisputable effect plaguing our daily life that has and will defeat our civilization, leaving us in the perpetual decline of not only our autonomy, but our will to regain it once all possibilities have long since passed us by, and only a foggy memory…

S2 Ep.5 ~ AM I BEING HUNTED? Dodging Bail VS Dodging Death 17:31

3+ y ago17:31

17:31

It seems that my nemesis continues to stalk me. I can blame him, the poor soul, for he's only a harbinger of chaos and death. It is those who wish to be his master that have conditioned him to seek human prey. They are the true monsters, and it is they who will carry cast to the fires in hell for the sin of dehumanizing this sullen and loveless chi…

3+ y ago14:03

14:03

I had the distinct honor of hanging out with this up and coming band that boasts of their sound as being a "progressive power metal." I am inclined to agree.

What lies in the heart of the lost and the wicked? Can we ever really know? And if we could, would we be able to look away once we've seen the true darkness? I think not.

1:30

So much to say and so few words come to mind. That's the way goes, though, these days, I'm lucky to know which day it is! The week's a blur. Sobriety sickenz me sometimes, but it's worth it, you know! Soon will be 1 year, and I'll raise my hand and say... "Sorry, I'm late! Is somebody sitting here? My name is Pat, and I am proud to say that I didn'…

32:21

In this OFFICIAL Season 2 debut episode I will go a few jokes that I've red flagged and want to offer some context to, as to soothe and otherwise relieve any tension between me and my audience. But the main topic is the announcement of my book. Now, I know I've been talking about this for literal YEARS, but I've finally settled on a direction, a fo…

4y ago43:01

43:01

Character defects, when trying to rid oneself of them anyway, are, as I've said in the past, like whack a moles... Every time you bang one down, another pops up! But, as I have also, back then... I was pretty full of shit! L🤷‍♂️L Now, I'm not here to beat myself up put myself down. I've been tossed aside enough by some and pushed around by others s…

42:34

The price of knowing a greater truth is in suffering the difficulty of not having the ability to convey it to others. If only I could grab everyone I see on the street and tell them! Just tell them that I love them and hug them, and try to convince them that everything is good and that we're all one, and it's all going to be alright, there's nothin…

4y ago24:25

24:25

It's been almost 6 months since I've last slept with knife beneath my pillow, but apparently my brain didn't get that memo, so it's staying hyper-vigilant in order to keep me sharp in the event that my continued existence is challenged and I must see fit to defend myself, or another.

We ventured out of the inner sanctums and into the outdoors! Well, to the streets, anyway....😏 Me, Mike and Daisy set up down on State Street at Concrete Park for a couple of hours, not knowing what to expect, but definitely expecting something from our past to come and remind us of how old we are.

And so do HOMELESS LIVES, and the lives of those with mental health issues! When we talk about the Black Community, and that Black Lives Matter, the immediate response from so many is the retort that “All Lives Matter.” The seriousness, urgency, and desperate call for help is lost in poorly enforced semantics.…

The world is a beautiful place, full of love, with many wondrous and exciting adventures awaiting our discovery, but some of us will never learn this fact.

In today's show I go into the different ways we react to uncomfortable moments and how those reactions cause lead to more heartache and unnecessary strife.

You know how people just can't seem to grasp the simple concept of "shared reality" when they're trying to convince you that what they're doing is their natural purpose and right, even though it's counterintuitive to your agreed community standards, and you just want them to understand that the universe is bigger than their trivial issue, but now y…

There are some of us who find it necessary to derive emotional support from others in order to sustain an even keel of emotional and psychological stability, and we return this support when we can, and when it is needed. But there are those who do not reciprocate, and who go out of their way to take all the energy they can from others... The Psychi…
