My 38th Birthday- (5-30-2023)-

"And in the end,
it’s not the years in your life that count.
It’s the life in your years!"

​"Those people who tried to bury you,
didn't know you were a SEED!" ​

HELLO!
Today Monday May 30th, 2023
(the Original Memorial today too)
is my 38th Birthday!

Everyday lately
I'm so damn very glad/lucky/thankful/grateful
my The Walking Dead Family 
​Facebook page
and other personal social media etc,
still stand to this day!

And currently
my The Walking Dead Family Facebook page
stands the highest it's ever been at the moment
​and is overall going amazing for me lately!

I also hope to get going on
some new film projects this year
here in Michigan
​with my Elliot Van Orman Productions 
​filmmaking work as well!

FOREVER a WORK in progress myself though...

Lately I'm doing great as well
living with all the Mental Health disorders 
(Bipolar/Schizophrenia)
I have/live with.
My current meds these days
are doing wonders for me,
and I'm just keeping real busy overall
with my film and social media work,
family support close by,
and keeping HOPE, LOVE, & LIGHT
in these crazier damn darkening
global times/days
living here myself in
​Rochester Hills, Michigan USA
near Detroit!

I hope to keep creating new things for the rest of my days.
And FOREVER a Mental Health Warrior myself!​ 

"Yeah,
this is for the ones who stood their ground
and NEVER BACK DOWN!

It's my life!
It's now or never!
But I ain't gonna live forever!
My heart is like an open highway!
Like Frankie said,
​"I did it my way!"

​I just want to live while I'm alive!
It's my life!"

"Time's only constant is change!!" 

"Tomorrow will be the first sunrise of the rest of your life.
Make it what you want.
And remember that happiness is a choice."

"JSS! Just Survive Somehow!"​

'WOODEN SOLDIERS':

"Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in...
MAKING PLANS...

It's level at the peak,
Our words don't speak,
Calm down, retreat me,
You just being here being you's enough for me.

​It's level at the peak,
Our words don't speak,
Find your breath, don't speak.
Even death just may not be,
We'll cross that bridge sometime and see,
​But just being here now is enough for me.

JUST BEING HERE NOW IS ENOUGH FOR ME!"

'Our Lives':

​"And it's our lives.

It's hard to remember,
it's hard to remember.
We're alive for the first time.

​It's hard to remember,
it's hard to remember.
We're alive for the last time.

It's hard to remember,
it's hard to remember.
To live before you die.

It's hard to remember,
it's hard to remember
that our lives are such a short time."

(The Day Is Over-
Time Will Tell-
​The Other Times!)

"Where did you go?
I would say that to myself often!
Like I was dressing up for a coffin to lie down in.

I can't say I know!
I was overcome in the distance!
I was lost in my own incidents in my mind!
Were you calling me from outside of a dream?

Wherever I'd go,
there were whispers in the vestibules.
Reminders of my time with you on my own.

​It's hard to know when your mind declares a war on you!
Like the thoughts inside my skull would do like I was blind!

And I'm sure I saw the signs
but didn't know!

I wanna live,
I wanna love you a little longer!
I was invincible many years ago when I was so much stronger!

I wanna smile like a letter from an old friend!
My arms are wide/open as oceans!
How I've missed you,
​and feeling good to be alive!

I need a spark!
I need a positive charge!
Plug it into my veins
and make me love this life again!
(How I've missed you)
Oh-oh, oh!
And it's good to be alive!"

​"Too weird to live.
TOO RARE TO DIE!"

-(Hunter S. Thompson) 

"Fight the dead.
​FEAR THE LIVING!"

"My MERCY prevails over my wrath!"

"Love dares you to care for people on the edge of the night!" 

"Either you care, or you don't.
There's no in-between.
And if you care, then go all of the way!

However vast the darkness,
We must supply our own light!"

-(Stanley Kubrick) 

Nature is the best medicine.
Here’s to a more free 2023! 

"May the odds be ever in your favor!"

Stay safe, Stay observant, FREE, and FOREVER RARE and may whatever God you believe in be with you,
​NOW and FOREVER!

"Everything that tried to drown me taught me how to swim!" 

Be an anchor in the world.
Storm's coming! 

“And once you are awake,
YOU shall remain AWAKE eternally." 

My mind was born into darkness,
BUT I ALWAYS KEEP THE LIGHT ON! 

​#TheGreatAWAKENING! 

"Can you hear the war-cry?
The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks!
Welcome to the skirmish!

(I can't feel my legs)

Give me morphine,
give me morphine,
give me more!
​
(I can't feel my arms)

Give me opium,
give me opium,
give me help!
​
I wanna lie here and soak up the sun!
But do not alight here,
you cannot outrun.

"This could be the end"
he said,

"The end my child!"

​So I made good use of my face and I smiled!

Let's toast to the fact we got this far!

The epinephrine plows through the barriers!

Welcome to the skirmish!

No doubt this is a tragedy for all!
(But it ain't over yet)
Head's up
​and Thank F**K you're still alive!

Still air in my lungs!
Still blood in my veins!
​(We're part of the last garrison)

You're still alive!
Yeah we're still alive!"

"Let's watch the sun come up in another town!
Try our luck a little further down.
Leave the cards on the table.
Leave the bread on the plate.
Put your hand on the gear-shift!
Put your foot off the brake,
And take that one last look...

Our bed was something that the wind couldn't carry.
The arrow points away across the waiting prairie.
This car looks like it could give us a good run.
The choice to leave was a good one!

Let's look forward to the lights that are new!
The world's a ribbon of road for you!
All towns have churches and tire-shops!
They put up speed-limit signs and they hire cops!
​I love to see the wind in your hair!
All we ever need we can get anywhere!
​
And take one last look at the place that you are leaving,
Take one last look,
Oh, take one last look at the place that you are leaving."

-(Tom Waits)
