Life's been a scary unmitigated disaster for me lately, and I found myself coping with life and the times we're in in some pretty unhealthy ways. I had several life crises, I landed myself in the ER multiple times, and needed hospitalization to get back to healthy again. I basically hit rock bottom. But since then I've been trying like crazy to take these scary surreal events and the new tools I've learned in getting my health, my mental health, and my life back from the brink and into a much more positive place. I'm eating better, I'm addressing my sleep hygiene, and I've quit my self-destructive ways, and I want to share my newfound hope, wisdom, and techniques with you guys in the upcoming weeks, months, and hopefully years here on the show. I wasn't there for you guys before in the way that I really wanted to be there for you, and I'm sorry for that. We're in some pretty unprecedentedly difficult times, and I got caught up in my own problems for which I couldn't find a way up or out of.

And so, I am launching a short form podcast series here on The Bryar Patch called 'Rants & Dissertations,' where I can share with you my thoughts, feelings, humor, wisdom, and sometimes tirades, that I think will help address the real issues us real people deal with in this very real life, living as regular working and struggling people in a society that's often ignoring, subjugating, and slowly eating at the livelihood of most good people. Regular people require hope, help, and balance. Many good folks, just like us, are working regular jobs and living average lives, looking for a lifeline and a pathway to a more comfortable and meaningful life. Virtually, our whole culture and society has taken us for granted and has helped to perpetuate the sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and psychological issues we're contending with today through their inability to prioritize people over all else.

Sometimes I'll talk about being an empath, a sensitive in insensitive times. Often we'll discuss staying strong, positive, encouraged, relaxed, and balanced in unbalanced times. Whatever I talk about in this new short form series, it's always to resist this unruly and tyrannical political MAGA movement, and the complacent and complicit Democrats, who need to grow a spine and rise to the seriousness of our times. I want to help find humor, clarity, fun, and balance in a culture that has long abandoned the working and middle class. We must be vigilant in balancing activism with selfcare, for this is our only life, and we must make the best of this life, and be the kind of good people I know that we are, and to live as best as we can. Whether you know it or not, we regular folks are on our own, and I think that warrants us coming together to create the world and the kindness and goodness we want, and that I know that we really are.
