August 25th, 2013, one more day closer to the NFL starting it’s Season schedule. Love the Football Games in everyway, watched em all growing up with dad and by myself. Seeing the big plays and teams you want to win is fun and cool and entertaining. I tend to stick with my team every year, even if they have never won a Super Bowl in their History. I love the purple and gold in Minnesota, the Vikings are my team and always will be, but, they need help defensively and to get Ponder to play better!  But a fan will always follow and hope for the best, win or lose!. I did the same with Baseball and The Boston Red Sox like my step-father, he was a fan too and never saw Boston win a Series, But I have lived to see them win three, so God Bless them. Go Red Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be at Fenway on September 14th, come hell or high water, to see my Sox take on the Hated Yankees as they drive for a pennant once more. First time ever I will be there, and see them in person, after my surgery on September 3rd for a lobe removal for cancer!. I don’t want to miss it, it will be a real treat for me, in my life.

       Ok, onwards and upwards, Syrian leader Assad must go, and I don’t want American soldiers sent in after him, to fight their civil war for them. Any bastard who gasses his own people and children needs killed himself. Send in the Sniper Teams if anything and let him stick his head up and pop him, I say. Or poison him somehow and get it over with so his people will recover and survive. Genocide is illegal, immoral, and unethical and this man is crazy!

       Egypt come to mind next for me, and we set them up once with an Elected Leader and they took him out. So why do we bother going back again? We shouldn’t folks, The Egyptian people need to make up their own minds on what government they want and who as a leader not us, leave them to figure it out. Cover the story, journalists, but, don’t look for Americans to get involved a second time around, it would be foolish on our part.

       Anyway, unlike many people in the world who give up when faced with diseases of any kind, I plan on fighting through my lung cancer in every way I can. I will not just lay down and give up, I am not made that way and no one should. So, on September 3rd, I will have the middle lobe lobectomy done and go on from there with a positive outlook at life. I just hope I can still get to see my Red Sox on September 14th, 2013, I am dying to see Fenway Park, never been. And finally tickets to a game there are bought for me to go, thanks Arman!

       Sunday is a  day of rest they say for all, so I hope all have a great Sunday/ Funday as my sister always calls it!

 August 24th, 2013, a new day starts once more, coffee is in the cup and I am here! Good Morning world, I hope all are healthy, happy and getting along!

        Morning is filled with things waking up as a sunrise comes across the part of the earth you are on, invigorating each, living thing with energy. They wake up slowly but surely and go on their ways, gathering food, cleaning themselves and preparing in the hunt we all do for money, food and clothing. It’s funny how all beings are basically the same at the wake up point isn’t it!

        Egypt continues its struggle to find a government and leader it can trust, Syria is still in civil war, people being killed endlessly and by gas so one man can stay in power. Sad isn’t it, when those you once trusted as your leaders, become desperate and mean and kill their own people!  One sniper a good one could end the whole thing in Syria if Assad came out in the open. But we all know, that won’t happen, so in the end our Government will make the wrong choice again and throw American Men And Women into Syria to stop it all costing Americans money, time and lives. We should stay the hell out I say.

       While whoever reads this knows I am heading for surgery on September 3rd, 2013, to remove the middle lobe of my right lung due to a tumor in it, I also know I shall survive it at that stage and go on  while longer. The only question now is do I need chemo and radiation or just chemo or nothing once it is removed/ Time shall tell, for you can’t say what kind it is or how big it is, until it is removed and biopsied. So, that is next folks.

         Love Stories for all;

Cancer Update/Hillary/Assistance.

     August 20th, 2013, made my run to the Veteran’s Hospital in West Haven, Connecticut this am. Got copies of my MRI, Cat Scan and Pet Scans from July 22 and July 24th, 2013. Confirms Cancerous tumor mid-lobe right lung, malignant and active, preparing for trip to NYC, Ny to see Doctor at Sloan and Kettering. Wife working on making the appointment and the faxes this am, each day brings me closer to the pre-op on Friday, which includes, Blood Work, Cardio work-up to make sure I can withstand the operation and the Anesthesiologist lucky me huh! After that it is a wait till September 3rd, 2013 and the removal of my middle lobe right lung and the future paths of chemo and radiation and who knows what else. One day at a time is all one can do, I just know when ya stick a disc in your own computer and it shows your innards to you and they aren’t normal, well it’s weird. But as I said one day at a time, one step at a time one foot in front of the other is all one can do. Enough of this shit it is depressing!

       Next lets talk a favorite subject of mine, Hillary Rodham Clinton, our First Lady of Arkansas and The USA and Former Senator from New York, and Secretary of State. If ever there was a time America needs Hillary it is now. What would be even better is to have both her and Bill Clinton in the White House together in reverse roles from the first time round. Benefit of experience and knowledge all in one you ask me. I fully believe if anyone can break the glass ceiling for women in America it is MRS. Clinton. She has proven herself in all areas of politics and more and America needs a woman like her to prove to the world we too, have females worthy of the title of President of The United States.

       Next subject, Assistance to other Nations that America does daily and across this fine globe we live on. Certain countries, nations deserve our help and we are a very generous nation overall. Our problem is we give too much, to the point of hurting ourselves and overlooking the faults of others, and we shouldn’t, Afghanistan , Iran, and yes even Syria should be shut off. We are the only nation in the world that ends up defeating countries in war time, than paying to rebuild them in peace time, why? sadly we are foolish enough when it comes to this, because we believe we must lead in all areas, well we don’t have to anymore. Who has come to our aid at anytime of War, or Civil Disturbance, no one except France during the Revolutionary War. Since that time over 200 years ago, America has helped everyone else, but no one comes to our aid in times if distress, war or economic ruin or political troubles. Sad isn’t it folks, save all the money in aid to these nations and dump it back into the American Economy and create jobs and America will bloom once more!

      I guess writing is an art few perfect and I know I have not perfected it as of yet. I try to put into words the feelings, and thoughts I have at a given time and hope it can convey something others would like to read and understand. Doesn’t always happen that way folks, unless you writing an article for a newspaper, magazine or a real book with many words and a great cover. I am not prolific in my writings, nor am I perfect as a person, but writing for me is more or less a way to relieve pressure, stress, tension, PTSD, and depression. So I write when a subject hits me or when something bothers me in someway or another, or when a childhood memory of pain and suffering hits my memory, or a military one may come up. I write to help my mental state folks, it’s a matter of the need to let words flow and get it out that counts for me. For others it may be something different that drives their writing, but me, well you get what flows from my mind, heart and soul.

      My latest report on my cancer is simple, nothing has been done yet, it resides in my right lung middle lobe for now at last view by Doctors. As I say my pro-op is coming up quickly, to be completed this friday the 23rd. In order to have the tumor and lobe removed I must be approved by a Cardiac Specialist, give blood and then see the Antheisiolist. If I get by the three of these are able to survive the operation, then the tumor and lobe get removed on the 3rd of September.

    It’s August again folks and that my friends and readers is time to watch my Boston Red Sox fight to stay alive in the playoff race. I love the Red Sox, , win, lose or draw so to say, and no one will ever change that either. I grew up watching the Red Sox year after year, with my step-father, and cheering them on and then bitching at them as they failed to get to the playoffs or faded from them and never reached the World Series. Dad as I called my step-father never got a chance in his 59 years to see the Red Sox win a World Series, don’t worry dad, I saw em win three for you.! It was glorious and a party and a half each time. I will never forget them coming back, in the playoffs against the Yankees when they were down 3-0, Dad would have screamed and yelled and been so damn happy to see them win 4 straight, them four more straight to win the Series. What a party we would have had Dad! Lets go Red Sox !!!!!!!!!!! I will finally get to Fenway Park on September 14th, to see the Red Sox live play the Yankees thanks to my baby sister and her boyfriend, finally dad, finally! I may also join you in heaven dad and mom and step-father soon due to the cancer I have too, since you all died of the same lung cancer I have now.

      I tire of hearing of gay bashing, black bashing,color or aging bashing or bullying. The world must learn all are equal and all must get along to survive!  What is wrong with humanity?  In the US Military it matters not what color, race, nationality or sexual preference you have now matters. If we can all fight and die for our country and get along to defend our flag, our nation, our constitution,and our freedoms, why can’t we just get along at home, in The United States.

       It’s been going on in the USA forever and needs to end and not be allowed anymore. The world and Americans especially need to wake up and realize, we are all human beings, we all hunger, cry, thirst and hurt and bleed. We bleed red and carry blue blood, and are all the same, why can’t the world realize skin tone, accent, nationality, or sexual preference doesn’t matter. wake the hell up world, it needs to end!

        Next Subject, Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan, and other nations fighting between themselves and others, need to realize that the United States, can not continue to help and defend and give aid to them forever. Our own nation has too many homeless, too many ill and too many hungry and out of work people of our own. Why should the USA be the one to give, give, give and not get anything in return, you want American assistance, then offer us something in return worth our helping you, listen to us.

      Final word for this Sunday, my cancer is still sitting in my middle lobe of my right lung. I am awaiting pre-op on the 23rd of August to be followed by the Surgery on September 3rd, 2013. I worry and yes I am scared but I will never surrender to it folks, nor will I ever cry I was defeated, I am a stubborn old Navy Bastard ok!

      Welcome to the world today and in the future, some big differences will have to occur for mankind to survive.  Stop and think how we are not dealing with critical problems and worrying about other things we shouldn’t be. It’s amazing that mankind got off of all fours and survived this long! The human brain is special as well as it’s spirit but like nations that failed before the United States came about, mankind is crumbling because we are stupid in ways we should never be. We fight over skin color, nationality, and what are ancestors were and who they were, when in fact we should just accept that part and move on. I don’t care if marriage is interacial   for we all bleed red, we all eat the same, we all depend on fresh water and air and by intermarriage we learn more about each other than ever before. So why do people oppose interracial marriage and the mingling and joining of races, prior prejudices  prior discrimination is all, we can’t let go of the past to get to the future is all. Sad isn’t it, for if you look closely every race, nationality,person is the same whether we praise the same god or not, whether we are black, white, yellow or any other color, we all honor and praise and believe in a supreme being who put us on this planet, don’t we? So why do we fight over color,nationality or anything that divides us as these factors do, it’s simple; pride and the inability to forgive and forget and accept what the world has become, a multiracial world that survives better, if, we are inter-mingled as one. So stop fighting the facts of live folks intermingle, interlove inter marry and learn that all mankind is the same, not different.

       Next subject, many have asked how I am doing since my cancer diagnosis, I am doing a ok, except for a tiredness that overcomes me, and i drink plenty of water and hold my hopes high for removal of the tumor and living on. Medical Science has come so far, in it fight against cancer since the first one who died in my family in 1970. Yet it has never gotten far enough to eradicate the cancer,  but many are now cancer survivors and that in and of itself is an improvement beyond compare. God Bless Medical Science and like any other human being, I hope they have come far enough in the advances in cancer fighting to save my live is all.

       Final say today, Egypt once again has gone into Civil War and destruction, the Middle East is like a war zone, each day and night in a different area, Sadly, the same prejudices and discriminations and disagreements that have divided mankind there forever still exist and they won’t let them  go.  They need to realize they are all human, all die when bullets and bombs and fires rage in their land. It matters not what religion you follow, it matters not if you think your fellow egyptian is different than you, or has different beliefs than you, they are still human beings and killing each other is against all religious and moral and ethical beliefs in the world. Wake up, and hold your tempers discuss difference and make it work, or you will destroy yourselves.

     Final Add today: Story LInks:

Thanks for reading my Blog!

 

 

 

 

      

       If a two letter word, that has a meaning that is large in the english language and in the world. It is always with us, if  this than that, if they win, if they lose, if this happens then that won’t, if I do this than that won’t be. If I date this person than I will miss that one, so many ifs everywhere, and yet, it sits in the english language as a  referral word to choose between two choices. Why is that, well I don’t know who created it, or why, we just all know it does exist don’t we?

        Ah little word always have big meanings, just as little children have big promise and hopes and dreams. If I have a son or daughter they can become this, they can become that they can affect the world and change it and make us proud right! Thats life, if I  raised them right and taught them right from wrong, not to lie, not to steal, not to kill or harm anyone, they will turn out great and be something special. But sometimes, it makes no difference does it, no matter how well they are raised, taught morals, ethics, religion and more, they still go their own  way and end up evil some of them. You can only attempt to teach right from wrong, you can’t guarantee it, in another person, if if they are your children!

       Hopes are always for the best when you are dealing with offspring, children and relatives period. You hope all goes well and they make something out of themselves and circumstances can step in and change your world and theirs. causing them to go one way or another out of joy, hate, anger, laughter or by some other circumstances. we don’t control destiny,fate or chance do we, we just deal with it as it comes along, changing our directions in life as needed to go around, through or into it all. That choice is what life’s all about folks, it makes or breaks a human being, in all ways. And it goes back to the if this then that, doesn’t it? Interesting huh?

       Ok enough random thoughts and ideas, my cancer is always on my mind as I hope and pray I can overcome it each day. cancer is sneaky, it’s there from no where, and they have no idea what causes it or exactly how to end it for everyone. Once your diagnosed with cancer you tend to start to think of the old why me question, I recommend you don’t. If you do you are wasting energy, time and effort in the wrong area of the battle and your not making the preps for the battle ahead and your not making the plans necessary if you lose the battle with it. Live, do what you have to get done, tell loved ones you love them, have fun, laugh and cry, be human, it’s what you are if you’re sick or not. Ok, people don’t want to hear you pitying yourself or crying over what happened to you, they only want to see you fight and win. Do it cancer Patients fight, keep your spirits up, don’t give up ever and touch the lives of those around you each day and give them a memory to remember you.

        End of my Ranting/ Raving for today folks! I leave you with a poem, about my Step-father’s death I wrote:

                                              

Why Must the Days End?
By William

Why do the days have to end?
Why do the nights have to come?
The Darkness rolls in,
Night reminding me,
Of, my past, my sin.

I didn’t know what you wanted or needed,
You refused to say,
So now I wonder and think,
All night and through the day.

I go thru life, a statement reverberating in my mind,
It’s one I carry with me,
And shall for all time.

My father, laid dying on his bed you see,
And these are the words he said to me:
My son he said my days have come and gone,
I shall leave you before for long.

But live you life to the fullest and enjoy,
Do today what you love the most,
Enjoy life to the fullest, and love those around you the deepest,
For though I be gone and you may cry,
Please remember these words, I give you to keep and hold.
Live your life with honesty and truth,
Be happy, be true, be honest and be bold.

As I leave you now he said:
I shall be gone and you will cry,
But remember this is not really goodbye.

We are all put here for a purpose, yes a plan.
When we fulfill that purpose our time has come,
And our life is done, and I am just a man.

The days will pass, the weeks will come and go,
The weeks, will turn to months, the months to years,
And over time, you will, have cried all of your tears.
But live your life for each day you are here,
For the calendar will continue to roll,
Time will pass before you know,

In the end my son,
We all eventually do what we have been put here for,
And our time is done.

Then he rolled his head, in his bed,
The vomit came, his eyes rolled back in his head,
And peacefully, and in silence he was dead.

I remember that day oh so well,
I remember the fishing trips, the pizzas, the laughter and the tears,
And have carried his words, with me and lived them for all my years.
