Monday/Music/Reading/Beliefs


       Monday I welcome you and good morning to all who read this, a new day has begun as well as a new work week for most!  I hope all have a great day rushing too and fro and making some bucks as they do.  

For me Monday just bring a new day and an attempt to write this blog, and tell what I believe in. I believe in peace, I believe in caring, love, hope and the Great American Way of life!  I believe in hope, persistence, never giving up and more!  I am not saying it will all be there for you in your life, but it is worth striving for big time in America.  hard work for many brings peace through money, social interactions, love and finding a place in the world, it’s worth it folks!

I grew up with country music, some rock and roll and trying different music. Music bring peace to to the soul and you can close your eyes while listening and float away on the notes and voices and be in a make believe world of pleasure for a while.  You can hear someone else’s stories in the lyrics and understand what they are trying to say, many songs do that now. Music is a love many of us have in life I am sure.

 I grew up reading too, books, magazines, and yes comic books and graphic novels. I read sci fi, westerns,  mysteries and spy novels, but I also read history folks, american history big time. Washington, Lincoln, Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, Nixon, Clinton, Kennedy and more all, men who gave for their country and made it better in their own ways. Americans should read more, and learn the morals, ethics, beliefs, and basics of why we as a nation are different then any other!  read about our Revolution, our Civil War, our Depression, our advances in Medicine and science and more. Read how we struggled to survive at first than expanded across the lands we live in and killed off other cultures to do so. The American Indian Nations suffered for the white man coming here, and so did the African Americans who are here now, brought here as slaves. But in the end, we gave all freedom and choices and equality as we went along. Yes I am not saying there is no discrimination or prejudice  because there sure as hell is, but it is now getting less each day. Color, race, issues, are getting fewer as we as Americans realize, if you kill us we all grieves, we all cry, we all bleed red, and we all fight for the country we live in! In the end the color of your skin, your nationality, should mean not a damn thing in america, being American should mean everything, period. I served 16 years in the US Military folks,, I served with all nationalities, all colors, all races and all different religious beliefs, it makes no difference for in the end we all believe in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave! 

When you sit at your breakfast table each morning and eat breakfast, have the same eggs and bacon or cereal as everyone else who lives here and rush out your door to work, stop and think, where else in the world, do people of all colors, races, nationalities, all fight for the same values, the same freedoms and have them. The US Military is made up of freedom loving americans of all colors, and americans all, say thanks to them for the freedoms you have! And when they march in your town parades, say thank you by respecting them and honoring what they did, no matter who they are!

My Stories folks can still be found on Amazon’s Kindle e-Books, Kobo Books and Wattpad.com. I hope some will enjoy them!

 As to my cancer fight it will continue of course. I have to be at the hospital on the 23rd of August for testing, cardio- pre op  work up for preps for my operation on September 3rd.  Blood Testing of course, and Anesthesia Prescreen. Than when the 3rd does come, it will be a robotic assisted right middle lobectomy, removing my middle lobe of right lung. From there I don’t know if it will be chemo and radiation or just chemo, but whatever it is I will fight! God Bless all who read this.  Later folks!

 

 

 

Cancer/ Things I did right!


        The problem with having Cancer is simple and true to form for all who have it, your body has turned against you and created the cells that can kill you. Yo kill it and fight it takes more from you too, for the operations, chemicals and radiation will sapp more energy from the person who has it weakening them, as they fight to stay alive. Then if you survive it you must come back from it to survive many more years or even a short period of time! Crazy right, well, I fight this battle now, my grandfather died of it, my father died of it, my step-father died of it, My Mother died of it, and my second wife has survived it. Now it is really my turn, and all I can do at times is keep a straight face even when I feel like breaking down and crying. Checking your own morality and mortality, is scary for all of us and I know that, more than most. But it is all one day at a time now, as I count down to the operation 29 days away. 

Yesterday’s blog I spoke of Regrets and what I thought I did wrong and missed, due to either things in my control or controlled by someone else.  Today I want to talk about some things I did right, I overcame Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Disorder on my own as a child basically. I helped raise my siblings in anyway I could, I helped friends with problems and to overcome their fears and more. I went on to leave High School as a Junior and to get a GED anyway. I joined the Army failed, and refused to surrender and joined the Army National Guard and then the US Navy for 12 more years.  I loved and respected my first wife and had two of everything with her, including two beautiful daughters I love dearly, no matter where they be today.  I went on to graduate college with an Associate’s Degree in Hotel Management with a 3.7 grade point average at 40 years old. So I did accomplish some pluses for the world and myself. I write little stories and poems and share them with the world thru Kindle e-books on Amazon and Kobo Publishing and WattPad .com. My writings are not Hemingways’ nor are they Shakespeare’s or even  Robert Ludlum‘s, but they are my stories I tried to share with all. I overcame False Accusations, and survived childhood beatings and mental abuse. I live with PTSD, Sleep Apnea, Six Herniated Discs in my spine, and now cancer of the lungs.  As my surgery date gets nearer I just hope I have done enough to be remembered as decent person who cared.  God Bless folks, and I shall keep blogging as I go along, if I can.

 

30 days to Operation/ No More stories or links!


         Thirty days before my operation to take a lobe off my right lung and it gets a little scarier each day, knowing I am carrying cancer in me. I wonder if one I will survive the operation, two if I do what shape I will be in after it, three will I withstand the chemo and radiation afterwards? No way to tell until I go thru it is there?

One day at a time is all one can do at a time, honestly! Each day bring coughs, wheezing and hacking at times, and tiredness. But I keep on hoping it will get better in 30 days, once they operate on me.

My blogs will be all I will be doing from now on, it seems my little books, stories or poems are not good enough to sell much of. I may ramble on too much in them, or not be correct in english or grammar or whatever it takes. Maybe it’s the fact that I confuse first person and third person, or tell my stories from my own view and never really edit them properly, because I am not made of money to hire an editor. Whatever it is, sales are extremely slow and people get angry when I show them the links to them and ask them to buy them. So I will stop giving the links out in Second Life, Facebook and Google Plus and let them die online, like I may slowly in real life.

I want to thanks anyone who bought one of my stories, or little books and who believed in me for the support and time they took to show it. As I go forward, I will try to not bother anyone with the links on Second Life or FaceBook, Twitter or Google Plus again. I never intended to anger anyone or to push anyone to do anything, I apologize if I did make anyone uncomfortable

As I go forward toward my surgery, if anyone in Second Life asks I will inform them only of how I am doing. I don’t want to bother people who don’t care. I hope all will forgive me for passing out links to my books in Second Life, in Wildcats, BlackHorse, or any where else I did so. Apology made and I hope accepted by anyone I bothered or who complained of me doing so. 

 

Finding by Scans/ Whats next?/Regrets!


Finding by Scans/ Whats next?/Regrets!.

Finding by Scans/ Whats next?/Regrets!


       Definite Tumor approximately 5 cnt mtrs in right lung. Removal of said tumor scheduled for Sept. 3rd, 2013. Followed by chemo and possible radiation treatments. Hope ya all understand!

       As I go through the process of lung cancer and the removal of a lung or part of one, I do think back over past memories, what i did right, wrong or indifferent and if I have any regrets. And as I do I do know I have regrets, but sometimes we all can not accomplish exactly what we want, the way we want it. So, no matter what I think I have lived a decent life, and that most will remember me if I die in a positive light!

                                    Regrets Yes I have a Few!

           

          As you grow older, you also tend to reflect on your life and the things you wished happened or didn’t happen and try to balance it before you die. You live with regrets, and you live with what may have been and then you live with the decisions that you made, you have to or you may go insane, it’s a matter of accepting yourself!.

          Some things we can’t regret, yet I hear many people disagree with me and still regret their own births, and then the suicide rate grows in the world sad, huh! It’s a fact and it shall never change, people have regrets on what they did in their lives or didn’t do, and learn not only to live with them, but also how to avoid making the same mistakes twice. We use the past experience we accumulate, to make judgments and decisions on our present situation, and then make them instantly without ever looking back till decades later, some never look back. Well, if you do look back and wonder, what you regret this may be the story you may want to see, my regrets, is me, what I feel I failed to do, or felt I could have done differently to make my life and those lives around me a better place and life.

             

               Regrets go back as far as your memory may be able to take you, in your own life. When you sit back, take a very deep breath, and in the quiet of the time you relax, you can feel your own mind wander and relax with you. Snippets, images, thoughts race through the human mind and you can actually gather these thoughts if you do so carefully, and evaluate them and your own life. It’s like doing a what if book, or story, only, you know all the real facts, all the real instances and people too, even the time frames and vivid pictures of what happened, can come back to boggle and confuse and amaze you. The human mind is a wonderful and vital piece of humanity; it stores data, faster than a computer, retains it as long as you need it and then, lets you retrieve it when really needed.

              Regretting is being sorry you did something, being sorry you allowed something to happen you could have changed, or making the wrong decision at the wrong time and you paid a price and can’t change it, even if you wanted to. As one man told me, time marches forward, you can’t change anything in the past it is over and done, but you can change the present and affect what may come. This reflecting, regretting, makes us human and makes us capable of changing only the present or future but never the past, so regretting what happened is all one can do.

              What would you list if you stopped to list your regrets and think them over? What kind of incidents would you come up with in your own life, that you regretted and would change is you could? I bet like myself they would cover many of the same items, events and ideas my do and that would prove all human being are the same, no matter what we look like or where we come from, or what color we be, would it folks?

              We can’t really regret being born, because it was not a choice of ours, nor can we regret what economic condition we grew up in either. But we can regret, our reactions to events that started young in our lives, and try to deal with them in the present, can’t we? Regrets my friends we all have them, what are yours? I cannot say, I can only voice mine from yesterday. So when you get a chance in time and in your own space, examine your life and see if your regrets are the same as mine or not, and I think you will find many the same, but, a few different based on priorities and time is all.

               My biggest and first regret many will ask, is what? Well, as a child I was hyperactive and had attention deficit disorder, I regret not having enough self-control over myself at all times. I know children are rambunctious, but I was twice as hard on my parents.

               Rebellion was my next biggest regret, for if I had not rebelled the way I did, life would have been so much easier for me as a kid.

             For a child with problems, I regret the way I shut people out and didn’t listen to them or their advice, I regret being the hard headed little bastard I was.  Yet I still survived it all, amazing huh?

             I regret the first 6 years in Elementary School, I didn’t pay attention or do anything right, I fought and fought is all, it messed up my learning process all the way, but in the end I overcame anyway.

            I regret rebelling so hard and running away, I regret stones I threw and things I did say. They cost me two years of my life being put away.

           I regret not being closer to my older brother, but he never regretted that about me, he just walked away and let me be.

           I regret the fact my family life as a kid wasn’t a family life it was a disaster with pain and hurt, but I refuse to wear it as a shirt.

            I regret, not being able to tell the first girl I loved I loved her and not knowing what to do or say.

           I regret letting the one love I had in my teen years, get away.

           I regret not telling my parents I did love them enough. These are the regrets that get so tough.

           I regret not staying in High School and Graduating, yet, I made it ok anyway.

           I regret the choices I made to be different and independent and do it all my own way, for if I had gone with the entire crowd, in the end, I knew I would not be accepted or allowed.

            I regret mistakes in choices I made, like jobs I lost and things for which I was not paid.

             I regret not staying a world away, to be with my daughters each and every day.

              I regret not slowing down to explain, what went wrong when to my children and why back then.

             But in the end, when I look back, it is from these regrets I learned to live and attack, and not give slack.

             Regrets my friends are what makes us who we are, it matters not color, what race, what nationality or from what star! It matters only that regrets are humanity by far and we all have them!

 

Friday, What did they find?/ Links to my Stories!


      Friday has arrived, August 2nd, 2013, and soon it is off to the Veteran’s Hospital to see how bad my cancer is. They have done the Cat Scan, and The Pet Scan, identified the mass in one lung and now I shall see what the Doctors actually know and await the biopsy on the 8 th. It turns back the clock for me to the 1970s when my grandpa died, when my first girlfriend and i do mean friend, was diagnosed. Then it makes me think of the day I found my real father died of cancer and my step-father and mom went in the 1990 to 91 years. Am I next to join them or will I survive with one less lung? I really don’t know now, but time and fate shall tell me next.

August 1,2013/Trying/Special/Newest Stories for all!


      August 1, 2013, a new month has arrived and a new day has too, lucky for both me and you! As time goes on day by day and night by night I sleep, I pray for my soul to keep, as I face the same harsh road of family members before me now. Cancer doesn’t know age, color, race, sex, or any other damn thing we humans seem to argue about, it just knows it found a breeding ground in your body and can grow there, unless you remove it. Tomorrow morning at ten am my doctors will tell me if they can save my live and remove the cancer from me and the lung it has infected.  I won’t know much else until after they biopsy it on the 8th of August 2013, not the kind, or the stage or how long it’s been in me.  So the Longest Journey and the hardest lays in front of me, the fight to survive!

       I have written many short stories in my life and posted them online on KIndle e-Books, some will help children and adults deal with Hyperactivity, and Attention Deficit Disorder and emotional Instability too. Some will give entertainment as Murder Mysteries and are written just for fun. Many are stories of ex-loves and romances and even poems.  But, all were written with a purpose and a reason, to protect the children of the world, to release what was inside of me bottled up for decades before my time ends and there may indeed be more to come. I honestly don’t know yet what I will feel as time goes along, but writing helps me deal with the good, the bad and the indifferent in it’s own way.

      For many years in my life, I have tried and tried to bring family together, friends together and help others, but, no one man is a rescue team and no one person can change what others believe or want to believe. So I do what i can to aim at the hearts and minds of those important to me in my life and times. I try to reach out say hello, let them know I know they are here and that I remember them all and care. It doesn’t always work, but all one can do is try.

      Last but never least folks are the written words I have produced and I hope will go on long after I die, and help others. In the end it is not what we do so much in life that makes us special it is what we leave behind when we die that helps others that makes us special! It never is the material things, it’s the things you did for others, or helped others with, always remember that!

       Finally the latest writings I have done are here for all to read :

       “Open Letter to Daughter I Never Knew”—http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E7SMC2U

       “Bea”—http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E674TIM

      “Disappearing Hams”—–  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZPFKYS

     “False Accusations”—- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DYAID6G

      “The Importance of Christmas”—http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DS5LUNA

      Each tells stories I think someone would enjoy! I hope you all like them, and thanks        for  reading my blogs and hopefully my stories.

Hump Day/ Fights/Stories I write


      Hump day has started this am.  Halfway through a week and closer to my first consult asa cancer patient. I know friday will get here soon and that makes me sad to have to hear from the doctors what i already know myself. Yes I know there is very little doubt what they found in my scans is not cancer, i know it is more than likely cancer . The fight will begin in earnest friday morning when they tell me what they can do to get it out of my lung, so all I can do is live each day like there is no tomorrow and live in peace!

       I am used to battles I had all kinds growing up. I fought to be born because I was too big a baby and almost took out my mom. I fought to be wanted and lost mostly at home with the parents I had. I fought to get back home from an institution they gave me to and not to go to foster Families. I ended up back home not bad for a ten year old huh?  I fought through Elementary School to be accepted and never was. I fought through High School to stay with the in crowd and be myself and somewhat survived. I fought to be a good Soldier and Sailor, and ended Honorably Discharged with Medical Benefits. I fought and fought to live each step of the way, the fight against cancer is no different folks, I will fight!

        By the way, most of the stories I wrote and are now on Amazon’s Kindle e-books for sale,are indeed true and real stories in my life. Can you figure out which ones aren’t real life experiences?

Fight/ America/Simple Pleasures in LIfe! My Poems!


      Good Morning world! Today is a new day and I awoke once more and of that I am happy, and content to see one more day!  Each night brings a fear of not awakening the next morning and seeing the sun again or those I love again. Cancer has that effect on people who have it, we tend to hope we see those we love more often.

      Yes, like many other sin the world I will continue my battle with Cancer until either it wins, or I die of natural causes or something else. Can’t just surrender it’s not my nature anymore then it was in the nature of my predecessors  like my grandfather, father, mother and my step-father. They all fought it and lost and if I go the way they did, at least I know they are waiting on the other side. Yes it is sad to have cancer and face your own mortality as you have it, but, if you’re like me, and can look back and say I did all I could to correct any mistakes I made and tried to treat all with respect, love and caring, you take it easier, yet ya still will cry having it.

     AnyWay, Life shall go on and the world is one mkess any way. Americans need to stop fighting over skin color, race and sex, and join together to fight off the evils of the world. Wake up please, the end of the American  Empire or Dynasty or Civilization can be at hand if we allow it to be, by stupidity and infighting. Nowhere in this world, will there ever be another America, a Republic that was an experiment that worked and produced democracy, acceptance and equality to the best of it’s ability and grew in riches because of the mixture we accepted in it.  It doesn’t matter if you are Caucasian,  African American, Hispanic, Asian or any other race or color, America accepted you and gave you a chance to live in peace and get by well and eat and sleep in peace. No other country has been able to accomplish what America did and does each day, don’t forget it!

     Simple Pleasures in life make it worth it when ya live a life. The simple pleasure of a hug between a child and a parent, a kiss between a husband and wife, a grandchild who hugs ya and says I love ya grandpa or grandma. These are simple pleasures in life, the fishing hole ya went to as a kid with dad, the sharing of tears, fears and laughter with mom, the ability to play with a brother, a  sister or a friend and to run and play, laugh and smile. Simple pleasures indeed and no where in the world is there more of it then here in America. Never forget it folks!

       As my battle continues against cancer it all starts on Friday with a consult with Doctors I have never met before. I await the consult and meeting for the information they can provide on my condition and what to do about it. If I don’t make it and survive what I have, I know I have tried to do all I thought was right for all I knewa nd loved and that is all I can do.
