How I did it
How to never give up
It took me
49 years
It made me
hopeless


How to give up
It took me
2 years
It made me
somehow, lighter.


How to 01.20.09 Live to see Bush's Last Day
It took me
8 years
It made me
moved me to tears

Stop dating (read all 7 entries…)
officially too old for it. 2 days ago

on the eve of my 50th birthday, i am a little reminiscent about my life and where it ended up, as opposed to where i thought i’d be on july 3, 2009.
i had alot of fun getting here, but now the party’s over. every year more that i get is just a gift. the doctors didn’t think i’d see today.
i didn’t want to exit this place alone,but i have 50 yearsa of training now. pretty lame to not put all that experience to use!

big birthday coming up soon 1 week ago

oh what to do?
this is the first year i am taking off cause it’s my birthday. but hey! it’s 5 years after my lung surgery, and my disease hasn’t progressed! according to statistics, i should be dead.
but i’m not.
i will most likely be spending my birthday alone, so i am trying to find a special way to celebrate this one.
i wanted to go spend some time at the spa getting the works. but that would be very expensive, and in light of my up-coming surgery, i need to find something cheaper.
so i think a hamburger platter at my fave diner, topped off with carrot cake.
maybe a trip to the zoo and visit my friends/family, the gorillas.
or maybe i’ll go to the movies. that’s a treat for me, as i seldom go to the movies. and it’ll be air conditioned!!!!!!
