It Wednesday again folks, yes we are halfway through the week! Hard to believe when time tends to go by so fast isn’t it, feels like yesterday was New Years Day! But the world will keep on spinning long after all of us are gone or have killed ourselves off by foolish bullshit we do as humans. No other species on the planet is so self-destructive as human kind, we kill off the animals, the planets, we pollute the waters and the air and than we sit back and blame it on everything but ourselves. Time will tell the story of being living on a world blessed with so many fine resources, but who ruined it for themselves and killed themselves off. The only question now is how long it will take and will mankind accelerate the process or work to prevent it from happening?

       That said and done, I do not look forward to cat scans every six months and blood tests, but I have to live with it as a cancer survivor now. All survivors deal with the chemo, radiation of cat scans and MRIs for check-ups and more. It’s crazy but how else will you know if it comes back to bite ya in the ass so to say. Cancer is a bitch!

        Final for today; My story is out in book form on Amazon’s Kindle E-Books: I did 41 small stories into books of different kinds each. So look for them folks and help an Old Disabled Veteran make a few bucks to survive will ya!

The story of a Sailor turned Seal by the Navy and sent on a mission to preserve security in Alaska and the USA

      Concerns abound in people’s lives around the world today. We still have slavery in some places, we have wars still going on and people dying of Aids, and more. The Ukraine is falling to pieces, Russia is stepping in, America is warning and Russia is in return too. Nedd I remind the world and America and Russia too, we had two World Wars already where millions upon millions of me and women and children died for stupid reasons, lets not do it again, Please!

       Other Concerns the world’s economy. America’s economy, education, social help for needy people and more folks. Can we all wake up and realize that there are too many poor and unhealthy individuals in the world and someone needs to help them, that means the healthy ones and the ones with money should start doing their parts Sadly, it has become a me, me, me world and fuck you. In the old days of the 60’s, 70’s it was we, we, we, why is now a me,,me,me society and fuck you, because we have become too damn selfish! Wake up folks!

         Final Concern today, people like myself who live with cancer over their heads and how we survive and carry on. My wife had breast cancer and I sat through her operation praying she would live, and through her chemo and radiation treatments too for a year, she is still here Thank God with me after 7 years later. Me I was diagnosed with lung cancer in August of 2013 and had one and a third lobes of my right lung removed in September of 2013. I survive today, but like all cancer victims I must wonder for how long! I was scheduled for a check-up cat scan recently and had to go down and give blood for it. Upon two days before I was called by the Hospital cat Scn people, what they said was they needed to reschedule my Cat scan when I asked why, seems some Doctor sheduled a second scan over the first and they will be doing both at once. What does it men I do not know, but obviously they found something in the blood tests they will be looking for. I only hope it’s not much. I hope to survive all of it but no guarantees. Ah well life shall go on no matter what!

        Finally for today I leave you with the link to my latest story on sale on Amazon E- Books;

        “Blackness in Alaska”
        http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IHY5LCS

       The story of a Sailor turned Seal by the Navy and sent on a mission to preserve security in Alaska and the USA

      I am now 58 years old and have seen many musical singers and artists come and go in my lifetime and every now and then I am asked who my favorite artists are of the modern era for Country Music, Rock and Roll and Folk, But since I do not listen to modern rock and roll, I do country these days and grew up on it is all.

      I have seen artists in concert starting with Neal Diamond, then Billy Joel live, Trace Adkins and The Beach Boys. I come from an era that music is music not just rap or madding rock with lyrics I can’t understand. I loved groups like Seals and Crofts, and singers like Harry Chapin and Jim Croce,  their music was about a life like mine.

       So i was asked recently who would I love to see live in Concert just once in my lifetime, if I could. One person comes to mind and I have loved her music and voice from the first moment I heard her, her name is Reba!!!!!!! Reba has the best voice i have ever heard and her voice is like the sound of angels to my ears.  her performances make me want to dance and sing myself as well as smile ear to ear and she is one great looking woman too.

       If I had the money I would love to see a Reba Concert live and meet her just to say thank her for the years of musical enjoyment she has given me as a fan of hers. But my days of going to concerts are over for  money is tight and I am a disabled american veteran and could never afford tickets to such a show. I gave 16 years of my life serving my country as a Soldier, Guardsman and Sailor, yes I did three branches I failed at the first, but went back and made up for that failure. Now I have 6 herniated discs in my spine, PTSD from service and childhood and much more to deal with. But I am never ashamed  of my service and discharge which is Honorable. But at 57 last year I was also diagnosed  with Lung cancer like my parents before me, one died at 55 and the other at 59 and I am currently 58. My step-father also went at 59 from cancer too, it seems to run in my family for me. I shall hope for a longer life though and so far so good without chemo or radiation needed, although I am down a lobe and one third of my right lung. I survived and will for as long as I can, I am sure.

       So the next time you take a walk at a Mall, Park or any open venue and you see a man walking on a cane, or limping or bent over in pain or having trouble breathing in anyway think about the American Veterans whom served not for their own benefits but to protect the loved ones they left behind at home and came back home to.
