"I’m dying."

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 19:09:01 -0400

"I’m dying."

"The lymphoma we’d thought we’d beaten into remission back in May came roaring back last month. We threw some really nasty chemo at it. The cancer ate it up and came back for more.

And so I’m going to die, and not in four or five months. I’ve got probably a couple of halfway decent weeks left. Then the lymphoma will take over my bloodstream and kill me.

I don’t have to die that quickly. I could undergo months of brutal and debilitating chemo that will leave me racked by pain and barely in control of what few senses I have.

The chemo itself could kill me. And even if it didn’t, I wouldn’t have a single day when I’d feel even vaguely normal. I would then have to get a bone marrow transplant — if a match could be found. There’s about a 10 percent chance that I’d survive, and a smaller chance that I’d be cured."

Excerpts from the journal of one, more than your average ink stained wretch, Mike Celizec. Mike was an amazing wordsmith, quick with a humaphor, never short on opinion kat. He will be sorely missed, by me, and the minions who loved him!

Many of us here have battled with health issues, or been touched by someone like Mike. His words are well worth the read! Find them here...

I love that girl indeed I do, Robin Sneed this ones for you

Tue, 7 Sep 2010 16:09:26 -0400

I do so love our Robin Sneed

Love her, love her, yes indeed

I would love her here... (Antenna Galaxy)

or there... (Pelican Nebula)

I would love her anywhere...

(Our special place, Sombrero Galaxy)

In the dark or in the rain

By any means, car, bus,train, or plane

I'll climb that tree for you again

Jump in the box, you just say when

I do so love her, don't you see

Robin is so coo, so coo to me

We've spent a great month together, endin' at her new digs...

I wish her everything her heart desires, for she is certainly deserving!

Hah! Her cabin lies in the background, by the way...

As she begins the next chapter of life's amazazing journey, I cherish the moments we shared... Funny are the dreams in life, they do seem ever changing, we've shared ours! Robin is the sparkling reflection of the witty, beautiful person whose thoughts/words I've experienced here! A shining light of compassion, and humanity, knew that all along...

"A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness; happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one's life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted."
George santayana

Road to Armageddon: The Insane Drive for American Hegemony

Wed, 3 Mar 2010 19:03:26 -0500

Great article by Paul Craig Roberts

The Washington Times is a newspaper that looks with favor upon the Bush/Cheney/Obama/neocon wars of aggression in the Middle East and favors making terrorists pay for 9/11. Therefore, I was surprised to learn on February 24 that the most popular story on the paper’s website for the past three days was the “Inside the Beltway” report, “Explosive News,” about the 31 press conferences in cities in the US and abroad on February 19 held by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, an organization of professionals which now has 1,000 members.

I was even more surprised that the news report treated the press conference seriously.

How did three World Trade Center skyscrapers suddenly disintegrate into fine dust? How did massive steel beams in three skyscrapers suddenly fail as a result of short-lived, isolated, and low temperature fires? “A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers

and Building 7,” reports the Washington Times.

With Sibel Edmonds testimony finally unsealed, the days of truth draw near... pm me for a link to that powder keg, well worth the read...
