Fuckbrain Comix: How to use your wallet with OCD by benjamin

2013-05-14T15:06:29Z

It's the little things that nobody else notices that slowly drive you mad.

Some days the things that bother me most are big, like my inability to touch railings and handholds in buses, sometimes it's the little things, like how that stack of books needs to be rearranged. No matter what, this one always feels weird to do.

I feel myself doing this particular thing all the time, but there is simply no ability to stop it.

Oh, and let's pretend somebody already made a joke about me putting the wallet in my ass. It's a stick figure, sluggo, and these are called Things I Can't Draw. :)

Sometimes "shit, shower, shave" is very difficult for people

2013-04-09T18:34:32Z

I found this a few months ago. When you're a college student with severe undiagnosed OCD and depression, writing notes to yourself can be very valuable. Don't worry, 1990's benjamin: you make it through.

Comments about how people with OCD should be clean anyway because of washing rituals will be mercilessly mocked before deletion. Yes, we recognize the irony of our situations; that doesn't mean it's not happening and that it doesn't suck.

I need to stop my injudicious use of Mercury, sez Dr. Townsend....

"You Gotta Draw The Same Bottle Like Thirty Times" by benjamin and Nadja

"You Gotta Draw The Same Bottle Like Thirty Times" by benjamin and Nadja, originally uploaded by benchilada.

I had so much fun doing this one. I really only looked at one bottle, and then only a few times. It became a look inside my process and how my brain has a very hard time replicating the same concept even two times. I knew that I'd throw in some non-traditional ones, but to see how I "recreated" things is fascinating to me.

LIVEJOURNAL!

Tell me about good blogs, comics, podcasts, et cetera, on the Internets that I should be watching/reading/listening to/humping. Ever since the Book of Faces started becoming the de-facto newsfeed of the world, I've accidentally distanced myself from the REAL internet, and I miss it more than I like FB.

I'm reworking my interface with that platform, primarily in the "use it way less" direction.

Help me out; contribute below.

Then go to your local polling place today and vote for somebody who wants to fix our city's infrastructure--roads, empty storefronts--before blowing 5 million dollars on a park in an area nobody goes to.

Or will people treat a custom-made vinyl pope differently than a a flesh-and-blood one? Perhaps we should ask Damon Soule, designer of the head.

Let the filibustering of Chuck Hagel serve as a lesson to all of you!

If you knock Israel's cock out of your mouth, you will not be allowed to be Secretary of Defense.

Also Not Allowed: saying that we spend too much money on our military and telling people that you want direct talks with other countries and armed groups to end lethal conflicts, because we're in goddamned third grade and need somebody to pass our notes for us.

Cowards.
