. It is hard being a satirist nowadays , Because so much bizarre stuff has happened in only the last 10-20 years,  That if you tried to explain it to anyone in the early 90s, They would think you were just making silly crap up!  No matter how ridiculous a comment you make  - No matter how extreme the words  - How silly you get -  To be as crystal clear as possible, That is just Satire -  In today's screwed-up world,  There are STILL people who will think you are serious! . ...And to be honest, These are NOT stupid gullible people! Such weird strange stoof has happened, So often lately, That you can not really blame them for that! .

. How I survive my depression. . This might not be suitable for you... But personally, I keep myself angry. It almost does not matter about what. But I use rage as a natural antidepressant. I use anger to keep the depression at bay. . Yes, It is a sucky way to live. . It's a crap choice, Anger or depression. But it has kept me alive so far... #mentalhealth #mental illness #drepressed #depression #surviving #heartbreak

. My 2025 plan . 1 ) Close down all dateing app profiles. (Done) . 2 ) Spend a lot less time and money in cafes, clubs and bars. I still do it sometimes, but I cut it down to less than 50 per cent or less. . 3 ) Start saving money to destroy my overdraft this year (making me totally Debt-free) Then start building up savings after that. . 4 ) Reduced public creative output. Galleries, poetry performances, social media posts and vids to 50 per cent or less. . 5 ) Keep the fat weight off but now start working on improving muscle (thin style not bulky) tone. . 6 ) Learn new skills and new hobbies. (Maybe, learn to play an instrument and to perform as a singer who also plays guitar? - Or maybe do something else?) . 7 ) Find a new life direction, meaning and definition. Work out who the hell I really am and what that really means. Who IS "Ross"??? Now that I can no longer ever be someone's husband anymore?? I feel that I am a total stranger to myself. . 8 ) Keep the new friend...

? Is ANYONE else Completely Terrified About the 30% rise in "No-fault Evictions" As a growing number of Landlords race against time against the new tenancy rights laws being passed? (Or is it just me being paranoid and worried for no good reason?) ? ? There is a huge rise in "no-fault evictions" as landlords race against the new tenant's rights bill next year...  It's up 30% already. - And climbing. And I am sure plenty would love to see me run out of Redcar. - Just over my anti-racist stances alone!  . ( NOTE: To Be Completely clear! - I am NOT, Repeat NOT! Implying that my landlords have any such views, AT ALL, NOT even a tiny bit! - I am only saying that is why I feel much of the town, in general, does not like me. That Is All! - AND even THEN I am not mentally well much of the time, so, even THAT is probably just irrational paranoia talking... ...And only just all in my head - rather than being at all real, At all... !!) .  And just in general I have m...

  . CE n O more . A Digital Composite Image By Ross E F Lombardi . . PS  I am not claiming what is right or wrong  Good or bad  The image exists NOT because I am judging  It exists because I don't know how to feel about this  A human life was taken and that was wrong  But I also understand why  & why some people are cheering  I feel conflicted and unsure .

. RE: The REDCAR Bar Scene. . I think I am coming to realise that spending £30 a week in the normal Redcar bar scene is a waste of time, energy, and money. . There are some great people in Redcar that I am glad I have met,  But it is not really "me" . . Usually, at best, I am given a patronising pat on the head and merely tolerated - not really liked.  - And that's ok. I am not delusional. I know I am too odd, and too weird for most people. . But if I have limited resources, and IF I want to meet the right person and fall in love again, then the normal Redcar bar scene is just simply ' bad product placement' . . Looking for romance-wise, I am far better off spending the same, time energy and money going to more art events, or writing-type stoof. . I need to place the right product (me) on the right kind of shelf in the right kind of shop. . I need to be in places with people who are as weird and as odd as I am,  Instead of trying to hang with the 'cool kids...

. Subject: Stage performances. . . Friend: "I challenge you to do a little fast ditti" . ME: "That's almost impossible... " "I have to find a woman that can run quick?" "She had to be below average height" " - Sleep with her?" "- AND she has to have the weird name ' Ditti' ???" . " - That combination of causality seems really very unlikely..." "I cannot find a single lady to date called something normal like 'Lisa' or 'Susan' -" " And not that many people are athletic enough to run fast anyway!" "And the height thing?!" "Why add the height thing?!" . " - So How the hell am I going to ' Do a quick Ditti' !!" "- Plus using the term ' Do... her' Is a bit vulgar -" "I am not a one-night stand sort of bloke!" "- So, challenge N OT accepted!" . . NOTE: Me and this friend HAD recently watched the fi...
