I haven’t been functioning real high lately so my writing power has gone out the window…that is, if there were any writing power there in the first place and if there were a window through which to throw it out of. Nevertheless the show must go on and I think I’ll resort to the most basic of blog posts…the list.

1. Watching Backdraft today made me want to be a fireman. I was nearly brought to tears during the funeral scene at the end. Why couldn’t they just fund the fire department as they should have?!!
2. The longer I’m sick the more self loathing I become.
3. Last night was my last night of chemo for 28 more days. Hip, hip, hoorahhhugh….never mind.
4. I’m annoyed that “nevermind” isn’t a word but “notwithstanding” is. Some things in this world just aren’t just.
5. I’m tickled by the fact that I just wrote “just aren’t just”
6. The world can take great solace in the fact that I won’t be losing my second toe from the end on my left foot. The multiple antibiotics they’ve put me on are working. I think when we can’t fix cancer we find joy in fixing toes.
7. One of my antibiotics smells like rotten eggs. No joke. Avoid Cephalexin if you can.
8. My back’s been in real bad shape lately. In fact just the other night I was watching the Colbert Report and it was making me laugh so hard that I started to cry. I wasn’t crying because of the laughter itself but because it was causing my back to hurt so bad. No joke, literal tears from pain were streaming down my face as I was laughing uncontrollably. Quite the odd scene. Eventually I had to shut the computer and look away. Damn you Stephen Colbert, one day I’ll get you back!
9. I’d vote for Ron Paul. I would. He’s as old as a moldy raisin and the bags under his eyes are so big they’ve got to be checked at the ticket counter…but, yeah, I’d vote for that guy.
10. I’m pretty proud of what I wrote in #9
11. One time I lied to try to impress a girl. The lie? I said I cried in Home Alone.
12. I’m sad to say that #11 wasn’t a lie. And, no, it didn’t impress anyone.
