What A Difference A Year Makes!

A year ago....I had such optimism...the future ahead...a new gig...making money....living in Dallas!


YEAH...DALLAS! Scoot R. Ewing.

BOOM!

My lungs said, "WHOA! Guess what you did to me! Oh...and the weaponized radiator steam...final blow! See you when we meet the worms."

And Michael Strahan..S.T.F.U please about how my death will be. Promote awareness..great. Get people to see their physician? Sure. I don't see The American Cancer Society doing ads telling us all how horrible a passing someone afflicted with their said malady will experience.

QUOTE: "Like breathing through a straw"

Know what....blow me!

Look..I get it. Like AIDS....my half of C.O.P.D. is a disease of behavior, emphysema. and with the addition of Mickey Mass...even more burdensome.

SIDETRACK: Still waiting an appointment for my biopsy. Did all the blood work. Don't know what it means. If anyone can read this stuff, let me know...I'll send it to you.

Which brings me to the subject of....Death. And how it's dealt with.

Anyone watch "GLEE" last night?

The goodbye to Finn was perfect. Ryan Murphy is a genius! Probably the smartest, best, and brightest in T.V. today.

The guy is gayer than pink paint, and rarely does that come through his work. If anyone was ever to make a movie of my life...it should be him. And if "GLEE" wants to add a character with C.O.P.D. and (formerly) homeless...I'm your guy!

Anyhow...

This was a lot of filler to say....nothing new to say.

But thanks for reading...following...and your support.

God bless you all and be well.

Until next time....

One Reason I Like T-Shirts As Opposed To....

...button down collars ones....

No sleeve to wear my heart on.

I think that maybe my healing grace will come from finally really feeling stuff. If any of you follow me on FaceBook, you can see the music from YouTube that I post.

Maudlin sometimes....sometimes sappy...

Just stuff that affects me.

So..if inclined...take a listen to some of the things that really makes my face all wet and stuff.

Enjoy.....

This one as well: DITTO

I can not STAND her politics..but her voice....a gift...for us all.



Better than the original...and the one song that kept me linked to my faith over the decades...







And this one....I can't watch enough. A gift taken away from us all, way too soon.!



Until next time....

OK...Here's The Deal.....

Mickey has not grown much at all, but the anti biotics used in the hope this was an infection accomplished nothing.

Hope's Dashed!

Now we are hoping it's fungal...yecchhh...and I am being scheduled for a biopsy sometime next week.

The prospects for treatment if it's cancer are not promising. Mortality rates on the operating table are grim. I already decided I won't be operated on. If I survive the surgery, half of the one lung will be gone and my left one is compromised. Meaning, I'll be all but an invalid.

Not happening.

I either will overcome this thing or die. Better that than being in a Lil' Rascal and constant oxygen up my nose.

As for the apartment, it's coming along. It is.....modest. The thing I like about this place is they insist on background checks! You have a record..you can't live here. It's quiet, most are friendly, some quite odd.

And I have "pets"! (Think the movie "Joe's Apartment)  I kill these pets every chance I get. NOT bedbugs....just some other forms of pain in the ass. One thing I noticed, these guys are SMART! I have never seen insects so in tune what is around them before. as soon as one thinks I'm about to get him, he blots, and I mean BOLTS away.

When I kill one, I leave the body around for a while as a message to his pals. And when one happens upon the stove...he makes a snapping sound!

The Sovereign Conversion Van Of Wonders is not doing well at all. I hopefully have someone looking at it tonight, because it is really not safe for me to use. I have no other choice. Between needing stuff and driving into Fort Worth for health care, I must have wheels.


Thus the update. I thank all of you who I see coming back over and over. It's nice to know you are still interested.

Be well.

Until next time.....
