I Invented A Game! LET'S PLAY!!! :)

 Okay, so I invented a game, that I think would be AWESOME to try!
--What you need--
at LEAST 4 people.
1 car to each team.
text message capability/picture messaging.
Gas money.

--How to play--
divide into teams (teams must consist of at least 2 people)
Decide your distance/time limit before each round.
No matter how many teams are playing, only ONE team hides at a time.
All the other teams are looking for the hiding team.
The non-driver team member will send messages/picture clues to the other non-driver team members as to their hiding location.
The hiding team has a limit of 15 messages/pictures they can send.
The clues should be challenging, but not impossible.
The seeking team(s) may ask 3 questions per round. These may be hot/cold questions, cardinal directions from a location (not the hiding point obviously).
However, the seeking teams may NOT ask for exact location.
The only point a seeking team may ask for exact location is if they are taking a CHANCE.
a CHANCE is when the seeking team thinks they know where the hiding team is, and calls it to win the game without physically finding the location.
If the seeking team is incorrect, they lose the game.
The first team to find the hiding team(physically or by CHANCE) wins the round, and is now the hiding team.
Once a team has been found, the hiding team needs to notify the other seekers.
Should no one find the hiding team, then the hiding team hides again.

--extra rules and cautions--
Do not drive unsafe, it's only a game.
Do not text if you are the driver.
The hiding team is not allowed to move, once they've chosen a location.
If a team is discovered to be moving, they will not get to hide for 6 turns.
you MUST send the picture/text to each seeking teams at the SAME TIME!
It is advisable that you stay IN your car as a hiding team, if you're in an area you don't know.
This is not TAG, so do not speed.
It is wise to decide off limit locations prior to the game.
At any point seeking teams may switch positions within their own team. (Driver becomes texter, texter becomes driver)

When we're feeling most destructive, it's best to create...

I was feeling very, angsty, and like no one understood me, so I created an artistic piece [on the computer] to show how I was feeling...
I titled the piece "my life"
This is what it feels like to be me.
I've decided to share this with my blog followers.  Note that anything pictured in this piece, is simply for dramatic/artistic purposes.
I am fine, I was just very frustrated with my life...and wanted to give a vivid look into how I feel from time to time.
If there are questions or concerns, please..let me know.
I love to talk about myself ;)

Should the mentally ill and those with a history of mental illness be forced disclose their medical charts?

I was watching the news tonight, and saw a story that was discussing the possibility of people who have or have had mental illnesses to disclose this information in order obtain a gun. 
I wrote to the news station with my opinion.  Below is my email to them:
After watching the segment about the posibility of denying people the basic right to own a gun based on their mental status I have a few things to say on the matter.
I believe that imposing on people's basic rights, is never okay.  I can respect that investigating into mental history is to protect people's lives as a whole and to protect the person in question's safety, however it is impossible to determine if a person is stable or not based on their history.
People who show a moment of weakness in their lives of becoming suicidal or homicidal (due to being mentally ill) should not be denied their basic rights.
I am working on a documentary film trying to end the stigma of mental illnesses, and hearing that there is a possibility of people needed to disclose their confidential imformation in order to be treated equally under state law, is unconsitutional!
We want those who endure mental health issues, to be confidant in the ability to speak out, to pick up the phone, to be able to find hope and comfort in seeking help.  If someone who is considering seeking help, feels like they will never be normal, never viewed as not having the horrible stigma that comes with mental illness then seeking treatment will fly out the window.
Then we just have a million people who are untreated, and that is a bigger threat to society than them seeking treatment.  With proper treatments, (IE- medication, therapy, hospitalization...etc) one can live a fully functional and healthy lifestyle.
Which is the purpose of my film, to put a face to these "monsters" and show they are anything but.  They are your neighbor, your sister, your brother, your mother, your best friend, your boss...
I'd be interested in hearing back from someone and possibly discussing this further. As the subject matter is very dear to me and my documentary.
Thank you for your time,
Ashley


Clearly I am displeased with this possibility.  It is clearly imposing on people's rights as US citizens to ask them to give this information.  They have done nothing wrong, they are not criminals.  They did not CHOOSE to have this condition. 
Like I said in my email to the station, I believe that making this law will cause people to not seek proper treatment.
I think a REAL news story would be to show people where to seek treatment, and make it not seem scary.
There are a lot of closet cases out there, because they are afraid of becoming a monsterous face of the stigma!
As saddening as it is that someone who is mentally ill, shot a congress woman, I feel it is all of our fault as a member of society, who do not reach out to those who are screaming for our attention.
It is our job as people of this world to love and accept that not everything is perfect, and if it is not "our jobs to save the world" then I ask you now, whose job is it then?  If we do not make effort to save lives, and to save our fellow man, and make a difference...whose job is it?
comments, questions..I'd love to hear from you.
