    Wednesday, February 27, 2008 | A Sad story

    Sonnie (younger bro) was in a car accident yesterday on his way to work. He called me at the scene and said that the cops are there and the guy that he smacked into fled the scene. They couldn't find him and no witnesses could remember a discription of the car since was during rush hr. So Sonnie's front end is smashed up but the car still runs ok so the cop let him drive home. Once he got...

  • A Final Goodbye

    Wednesday, April 2, 2008 | A Sad story

    Everybody's high on consolation
    Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me
    My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
    Now it's plain to see that they can't comfort me
    Sorry Charlie for the imposition
    But I believe I've got it, the strength to carry on
    I need a drink and a quick decision
    Now it's up to me, ooh what will be
    She’s gone
    She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
    I...

    This is for my peoples
    Who just lost somebody
    Your best friend, your baby
    Your man or your lady

    But you kept me in line
    I didn't ...

  • When you can't trust anyone

    Tuesday, August 19, 2008 | A Sad story

    I've noticed my med's missing, my pain medication (narcotics.)  I couldn't figure out who would be taking my precious drugs.  Not like it wasn't hard enough to get these drugs in the first place, but I had a thief in my house, who could it be?
    I found my oxycodone EMPTY capsules in my son's drawer, with a rolled up dollar bill.  I guess he was snorting my pain me...

  • Doctor Finally Called, not good news

    Friday, August 29, 2008 | A Sad story

    Well the doctor finally calls.  I'm in the grocery store, at the register and he says "can you talk" I said not really, but he goes ahead anyway.  He is referring me to a surgeon.  He said you may not need more surgery, but why else would he send me to a surgeon?  Hmmmm
    I get home and emailed him immediately asking for more information.  He writes back, sorry...

  • We had a beautiful vacation, enjoyed ourselves, ran into a few snags (ports being closed because of the hurricane, rough weather on the first two days causing me to toss me cookies all night long, getting stranded in Orlando due to Houston being closed again due to the hurricane) we did have fun. 
    When we landed I called home to see how things were going to find out my beloved Blue Throated ...

  • She is gone

    Friday, September 19, 2008 | A Sad story

    Our beloved Mercedes was put too sleep a couple of hours ago.  It has been a bad day for all of us.  My husband and son stayed with her while she went to sleep, then peaceful paws stopped by to get her body to take her to be creamated.  She knew something was up, we were all crying and she kept trying to lick away our tears.  She had deteroarated so badly this last month, righ...

  • I was up all night and most of the morning waiting for the doc to call that was going to do the surgery on Nick's toe.  The nurses finally found out what time the surgery was scheduled for - 2:00 PM.  When I heard that earlier this morning I figured that they would call later and I could catch a nap.  When I was sleeping the anastesialogist called and I missed the call.  I...

  • Fuck me and my life.

    Wednesday, December 10, 2008 | A Sad story

    So basically I feel like shit right now,
    I feel so fucking fat I want to die.
    I wish I were 100lbs.
    Then when I get there I want to be 90lbs.
    Then I want to be 80lbs and that's all I want to do.
    So I've made a goal to just not eat much, mainly fruits
    and to do little workouts. 
    Also to drink lot's of water.  
    I'm sick of feeling like such a cow,
    and feeling so ugly.
    Why can...
