  • OSCAR

    Wednesday, July 2, 2008 | A Painful story

    Last night I had to rush Oscar to the animal hospital. The Dr. there said that it looks like he has a brain tumor. There is a tiny chance it may only be a liver infection (Build up of uric acid can cause similar symptoms..) but she doubts that it is. She is almost certain it is a tumor. I spent most of last night crying, and now have a huge headache. I doubt I will be on much over the next few da...

    Wednesday, July 2, 2008 | A Painful story

    I think ive hit the point with my anger issues that i might try and get some extra help with it. I mean my family attempts to understand where im coming from with all this rage i guess, but it doesnt really help. The night before last i was a johnnines house and my mom called while we were out for her bday so i called her back when we got to Johnnines house. We start talking and end up in an argu...

  • A Sad Family Story

    Wednesday, October 1, 2008 | A Painful story

      It was not a very good weekend.  My youngest brother who was estranged from most of the family moved back here in 2005 and we were all trying to get along.  I thought it was going well until last week.  When my dad died, he left us some money and as it turns out, my brother blew through all of it, with the help of  his greedy wife of course.  She got a boob job.&nb...

  • what pisses me off

    Sunday, August 9, 2009

    when you are sick you need that moral support. but people tend to either enjoy or leave you when you are real down. all they care about is their own issues. this is why the world is falling apart. we cherish materialism over humanity. we make fun of other's pain to make our insecure asses feel better. yet we are suffering more since we do not even at times have a great soul. i hope the best f...

  • Why do certain people on here have to be so mean...

    Friday, September 11, 2009 | A Painful story

    I just wish people would stop spreading malice about me, and calling me a liar. They have no clue what I have gone through... yet are so mean to me... and they call themselves Christian? No real Christian I know, would ever behave the way they are... It is all just so sad.
    If I do not want to respond to their grilling, can they not use their brains and think for a moment that heck... she just got...
