Funny shit

I wish the real news was a funny as this. Biting sarcasm at its best!

Apple Widget Test

Howdy me. This is just a test of a new Apple Widget that lets me post to my blog.
Is it working?

This made me sick today. Even more interesting is how quickly it disappeared from the homepage of CNN. Hmmm....
One thing that really blows me away about this is that is shows how much the oil industry is able to influence our government. And sadly, one day our future generations are really going to suffer because of todays greed.

Cops hunt "Catgarookey"

A MYSTERY animal, said to be a cross between a cat, kangaroo and monkey, is being hunted by cops. The bizarre beast — dubbed the Catgarookey — has been spotted three times roaming a city’s streets at night... full story - with photo!

Congrats to GW and his Republican buddies

I'd like to congratulate GW and pals for the great work they've done to destroy our nation.
Highlights include:
- Making us look like idiots for waging a pointless war
- Making the Muslim and Arab world hate us
- Hurting the planet by ignoring sound scientific guidelines for emmisions
- Allowing GM to lose 25,000 jobs today
- Do they not realize that those who are prescribed medicinal weed will now go to drug dealers to get their pot? They are actually encouraging illegal drug use.
Fucking idiots
- Ignoring the rules of justice by imprisoning so called terrorists in Cuba, who will never get a fair trial, will remain imprisioned even if they are found innocent, and re-writting our justice rules. This is another thing that will make the world angry at us
- Abusing prisoners. You may not know this, but earlier this week a federal judge ordered that new videos and photos showing abuse be made public. Dog help us
You know what...I give up. What difference am I gonna make? (that's a joke...but that's what I think many of us are thinking. That's why we don't act, we just complain like me)

My bad experience with our Healthcare system, and GW goes to POT

I'm posting this so I can remember my bad experience with a healthcare facility.
During the process of taking care of my f'd up back, I used my health insurance companies website to find a Dr. to take care of me.
So, away I go, and i'm rushed in, prescribed a bunch of meds, and rushed on my way.
This Dr. barely took a look at me, seemed to be in a huge rush to get out of there, and although I was impressed with her use of the word "crap", I felt a little uneasy about how she dealt with me. I practically had to crawl into her office. She asked if I had high blood pressure, which I don't, although at the emergency room the day before it was thru the roof due to pain. Shouldn't she have taken a moment to check it herself. Noooooooo...she was in a hurry, and prescribed me the standard bunch of things they give to people with my injury.
As I was leaving the office, they told me it would take about 2 days to get authorization for physical therapy and for my MRI. Well, I got the authorization for PT, but 10 days later and 5 phone calls, still no MRI. I also left a message with my Dr's voicemail telling her that it seemed I was getting worse, not better.
I went to the MRI Friday night, and I just couldn't do it because of the pain. It takes about 40 min. for an MRI, but I couldn't even handle 20 seconds on the table.
4 tries later and I was on my way home. The tech advised me to call my Dr immediately and have her prescribe meds to sedate me to get me thru the MRI.
I did so, and never got a call back, even though I used words like "urgent and emergency"
Needless to say, I won't be going back to see her.
Fucking ridiculous with a capital DIC!
In other news, our wonderfull federal goverment today decided that they could prosecute people who use medical marijuana as prescribed by doctors. This includes cancer patients and others who can't find relief any other way. Isn't that great.
Perhaps these patients should turn to drinking heavily. At least that's legal, and is probably a practice shared by members of Congress, GW and much of the government.
Oh, I forgot, GW once had a coke habit and a drinking problem. Something to ponder, eh?

Ouch, my fricken back...

Well, 2 weeks ago yesterday I completely f'd up my 44 year old back. I think it's a reoccurence of an injury that happened 2 years ago.
Oddly enough, in some ways this has been a positive experience.
Recently, i've been very down on myself, very solitary and fairly depressed.
When I went to my cousins wedding, something changed in me that day, and it was a very powerful emotional experience. I reconnected with my family and it really felt good to have them happy to see me. Seeing my cousin finally find someone to share his life with was also great. He's an exceptional person, and he's found someone perfect for him. It sort of gave me hope too. What's amazing to me about that wedding was about a year ago, I was invited to a party in the very same backyard where the wedding took place. I put together a little band and we rocked the house. My music career actually began with my cousin. I took up guitar and he took up drums at the same time, and we played both of our first gigs together. Anyhow, that day it seemed my cousin spent alot of time talking to one person in particular, and that person became his wife a year later. I feel lucky to have seen the beginning of their relationship, and to see it develop into what i'm sure will be a long and happy life together.
Anyhow, that very same day my back injury happened, and for the past two weeks i've been struggling with it. Somehow, thru this experience i've come out of my shell a bit, and what really blows me away is how my friends have come to my aid, and these are all people that i've hidden myself away from during my recent down and solitary period. I've even started to let my guard down quite a bit and accept help from people. One of these people in particular has really been there for me, and that person would be my buddy Chris. I have to say, he has never let me down, and I really appreciate him, and all of his support and encouragement. He's helping to make me a better person. If you read this Chris...thank you.
