I'll Never Understand

Bipolar rules. Bipolar tattoos. Bipolar conspiracy theories. Bipolar cool. Are poodles divas? Arrogant, loud, road rage, excited signs of being bipolar. Are you a bad mom if sometimes you don't want to be a mom?
These are all keywords that led to my blog this week.
First of all, "bipolar rules." The rules for being bipolar are pretty simple, take your meds and try to act normal, whatever normal is.
"Bipolar tattoos?" What the hell would a bipolar tattoo be? A penguin that spends his summers on the North Pole and his winters on the South Pole? I just don't get this.
"Bipolar conspiracy theories." I'm so stuck here. I mean, what is going through that person's mind? Did we really shoot JFK? Maybe we were behind the Watergate burglaries. Bigfoot. Maybe Bigfoot was bipolar. The only conspiracy theory I know of is who in the hell keeps racking up credit card bills at Nordstrom on my credit cards. It's not me, I swear!
"Are poodles divas?" Well, yes and no. My standard poodle wears a swarovski crystal collar which screams diva, but other than that she's a pain in the butt that's becoming increasingly closer to being featured on Craigslist!
"Bipolar cool." Heck yes! Bipolar is cool, it's always a thrill ride, never a dull moment and we always seem to be getting packages in the mail. Mine usually come from Nordstrom or Nike, now that's cool.
"Arrogant, loud, road rage, excited signs of being bipolar?" I know a few of these people and none have confessed to me that they are bipolar. Maybe this fits into the "bipolar conspiracy theory" category? Just between us, I think it has more to do with the "Y" gene than bipolar.
"Are you a bad mom if sometimes you don't want to be a mom?" HELL FREAKING NO! It makes you human, or maybe it makes me a bad mom. Sounding like a conspiracy theory more and more.
I can't wait to see what keywords next week brings.

whew, I'm glad that you cleared up that we all feel like bad moms.
And come on, you know you want to go get a tattoo that says, I'm bipolar, how about you?
Bipolar Rules:
1. What Diva says Goes.
2. If Diva doesn't say, then ask first.
3. See #1.
Bipolar Tattoos: Usually half done because you change your mind halfway through it.
Bipolar Conspiracy Theories: Of course we were behind it all....just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they all aren't to get you ;)
Are Poodles Divas? - Yup, especially the fluffy ones.
Bipolar cool: Unfortunately it's becoming more and more cool to say you're bipolar when really, you're just an annoying teenage tv and music star who wants to sound cool or hip. >.<
"Arrogant, loud, road rage, excited signs of being bipolar?" Well, if we're referring to Charlie Sheen - no these are signs that he really needs rehab.
"Are you a bad mom if sometimes you don't want to be a mom?" - No you're a bad mom if you pull a Casey Anthony and your kid goes missing for a month before you report it. Or worse, you hurt your kid.
We were playing a fill in the answer game right?
Dazee, I think I gave up on feeling like a bad mom. I just give in to it now. sigh
Carrie;
Love, love, love it!
"I mean, what is going through that person's mind? Did we really shoot JFK? Maybe we were behind the Watergate burglaries. Bigfoot. Maybe Bigfoot was bipolar."
Look, Diva, I came here today intending to give you the benefit of the doubt about these things, but I gotta tell you, kid, your denials are just a bit too strong for me to believe that you bipolar people (of which you are obviously queen), aren't behind most of what goes wrong in this world.
Snowbrush,
You have a point there!
Dude, do NOT tell them the conspiracy..shhhhh it was suppose to be a secret... now we will have to change the secret handshake and EVERYTHING!!!!
I love your comments on the tattoos and conspiracy theory and I wonder how many people will actually "get" the penguin being bi-polar.hahahaha
I think the conspiracy part is in reference to the high number of bipolar diagnosis in the last little bit, kind of like the ADHD moniker. Kid a little wild he has ADHD.. someone moody they are bipolar. And in part I agree when it comes to kids. But bipolar children are easily recognized, this goes beyond simply an inability to concentrate or work by a long shot. Used to be they didn't want to 'label' a child bipolar when they were under 16, thanks to that thought process my oldest went through 9 years of hell and a medication merry go round of drugs for ADHD that made him MORE angry and to swing more rapidly and violently.
I wonder what keywords help me find my blog.
That is funny!
I mean really, "Are Poodles Divas"? Such a silly question.
Of course, Standard Poodles are Divas! And Divas NEVER end up on Craigslist or Ebay. DO YOU HEAR ME!? I mean, how would you like to be on Carigslits? Enough said.
Otherwise, a great bipolar post. You make bipolar almost sound like fun.
Almost.
Yes, Rob, you're right. She's just gotten so Diva-like lately. She refuses to listen! Hmmm....don't even think about saying what you're thinking!
Angel;
It really pisses me off that doctors and parents would rather not "label" a kid than to get them the help they need. Having a kid with autism I fought for years to find out what was wrong with him. His "label" is actually part of him, a part that needs to be treated. It's not as if it's going away if we ignore it. You're so very right.
Maasiyat;
whoops! looks like I royally screwed up! lol but I do love the idea of a secret handshake!
Miss C;
some crazy ones pop up from time to time!
Haha! The words that lead people to us are indeed very odd! Maybe the "Bipolar Rules" one was someone saying that it rules! Like it rocks! You know in the happy moments!?
How abut menopausal bi-polar mood swings that only Nordstrom and Nike can cure?
The road rage--- I've totally got that. We had to trade my cute little Mini in for a bigger car because the wife feared I would get killed due to my "assertiveness" when big trucks would drive up my ummm... well, you know! I mean, I already go fast, don't bully me because I'm a woman in a Mini ;o).
The mother thing... if you can't admit ever feeling that, then you're fooling yourself!! LOVE my kids, but breaks are nice!!

Not sure what I love better – the phrase bipolar tattoo or your answer.
Labels are just that - labels. Are there basis for these labels? Perhaps. But you stated it quite well - We are humans with human foibles, tendencies and emotions regardless of of label applied.
OMG Dazee, I think we should all get matching "I'm bipolar, how about you?" tattoos...I <3 that!!!!
Just love your blog. Needed a laugh today and you cracked me up...
Bipolar tattoo--wtf?
that is all
Bipolar tattoo! Theres an idea!
Dear, Diva...
You make Bi-Polar Very Cooool. You are in good company, girlfriend. :)
You get the best searches. I get absolutely nothing interesting like that.
I wonder what the heck that bipolar tattoo searcher ended up getting for a design.
