The Other Manhattan, part one | Confessions of a Bush Exile
https://confessionsofabushexile.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/the-other-manhattan-part-one
Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. The Other Manhattan, part one. My father said the change in her was sudden and severe, she was pregnant when it began. They were travelling on a Manhattan subway and abruptly without warning her mind seemed to go on autopilot, she ran out of the train car without saying anything to him. From that point onwards she started to have severe mood swings which only worsened as the years progressed. The Road to Hell.

Home Again | Confessions of a Bush Exile
https://confessionsofabushexile.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/home-again
Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. I expected to visit my father again in June, then it was delayed until September and then finally I made in early November, nearly a full year after I had last seen him. He is in good spirits and looks amazing for a man of his age, he often lies and tells people he is 75 but on the 30 November my father turns 79 years old. February 10, 2010 / 11:21 am.

Sand Dunes | Confessions of a Bush Exile
https://confessionsofabushexile.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/sand-dunes
Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. Last night I had a dream. Or perhaps the dream had me. My Melanesian grandfather was walking along a desert dune with a Kenyan man and talking about the sad state of affairs in the North of England. This is not acceptable, he sighed as he reflected on his granddaughters’ years of depression in the land her ex-husband brought her to and deserted her in only six years later.

The Days of Wine and Poses | Confessions of a Bush Exile
https://confessionsofabushexile.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/the-days-of-wine-and-poses
Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. The Days of Wine and Poses. All of those poor creatures are gone now! Why no, in their minds they had granted me Honourary Whitehood. Why, I should be flattered, no? That lasted a while until one fateful day. We walked into their vestibule and the husband turned to stone. He looked as if his jaw had morphed to lead and started to stutter, his wife had a pained smile plastered on her face. They turned to m...8220;...

The McMuggers of DC | Confessions of a Bush Exile
https://confessionsofabushexile.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/the-mcmuggers-of-dc
Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. The McMuggers of DC. This is the end of my third week back in New York. I have barely had any time to myself as my father has had a string of social engagements and appointments which I have been attending with him. For a man of 79 he leads a more active life than many people one third his age. When I arrived I remembered that I thought DC seemed like purgatory with monuments. And when I left I remembered jus...

Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. Surreality and the Single Girl. 8220; Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the road”. My resolution from this time forward is to view my days differently and stop trying to live my life at the pace of others whose...

Text and Violence | Confessions of a Bush Exile
https://confessionsofabushexile.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/text-and-violence
Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. I’ve been back in the UK for less than four weeks now and already I’ve been the victim of another drunken freak, this time knocking me off my crutches as I tried to get to my front door in the Northern Quarter. When I randomly yell OWWW! And find some sane people to socialise with. At least if I get assaulted there I know there might be some logic behind it; someone needs cash for a new heroin fix, healthcare...

The Electric Mind | Confessions of a Bush Exile
https://confessionsofabushexile.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/70
Confessions of a Bush Exile. How I lost my stars and stripes and mind by Naomi C. Pattirane. My doctor assures me since I have been assessed by six different specialists that I do not have schizophrenia or any symptoms associated with it. I simply have the joy of feeling schizophrenic with episodes of abnormal neuronal activity. Several days ago I woke up to a microseizure that said “she won’t be of any political value unless she is held prisoner in Iran…”. The mind is a mysterious thing. Indonesian Amer...
