Re: LovelyLadyMonk
I don't guess you knew. I hadn't really said much about it before and was only diagnosed with it for sure August of 2006. It's a lot more common than people think.

OMG Joelz...
You have MS? I'm not sure whether I actually knew that or not. A friend of mine and Roommie's has it, too. I pray every day someone will find a cure for that horrid disease.

I still think of you as my Gypsy so now you have that to deal with as well luv.We have been buddies a long time it seems like, I think we kind of carried one another through this field of pain we call life. You know I pray for you every morning as I've done for a long time, and I would make you a chalice and send it you if I knew where to send it luv. Bon courage my lovin' friend.

It is an awful lot to deal with in one lifetime
and I really don't know what else to say, except that it's nice to see you back and using this outlet to express your feelings.

I'm a huge Hoobastank fan, Powder Jolez. Their lyrics remind me of
songs written by Kansas, the music a little less classical. But what they lack in classical training, these guys make up for in catchy rhythms.

I'm so sorry to hear of your added unwanted diagnosis. How could one not be angry at learning this about themselves. I'm glad that you have returned to blog about your grief and frustrations. But, even with that added pain, knowing you just a bit, I'm sure that at times your wonderful sense of humor will shine through and show strength and courage that, at this time, you might feel that you have lost.

I hadn't really looked at it that way. Probably because I have yet to see past how I feel about things at this point. Thank you for your input.

I didn't mind the length of your comment. Thanks for taking the time to both read what I wrote and responding to it in such an honest way. I'll keep what you said in mind.

your writing is honest and straight up. When all the chips are down
we see the real person. Thanks for sharing your inner person with us,the good,the bad,the ugly. Most of life is superficial BS and its a gift to share this difficult journey with you. Most books and life-affirming talks are trying to teach us how to live. You are teaching us how hard it is to die. Someday we are going to be in your position and that is your gift you leave behind, that its okay to question,to be angry and resentful,to dread the future or lack of it and to handle the dark thoughts that are a part of this process. Thank you for your tremendous gift.

Powder Gyps,
I think what you're writing here is both extremely powerful and will do a lot of good.
We are, by and large, a silly, sheltered, euphemistic society. Almost no one ever slips off gently into that good night -- it's a battle every day over something, and then some get heaped with more crap than others. Nothing really makes sense, when it comes right down to it.
Therefore, to me, it makes absolutely no sense for some fucktard to out with some platitude(and I'm guilty of it myself, occasionally, as I am, in fact, a card-carrying fucktard) and expect the person on the receiving end of it to find any solace whatsoever.
What you are going through is as real as it gets. I can't imagine not being angry about it. Therefore, I would think not only is it okay to express real feelings about it, but it is downright necessary, and would be silly, unnatural, and detrimental not to. And I think it's helpful for others not in that position to get even the dimmest glimmer of what you're dealing with, and realize what it really is.
To sum up that over-long epistle, I'd say, hell yes, your writing -- and your life -- is helping, it's making a mark, it's making an impact, probably on a hell of a lot more folks than you think.
Anywho, sorry about the lengthy soliloquy. Take care!

If my writing how I feel helps anyone else it's definitely a plus. I appreciate your comment and thank you for stopping by.

Your journey is a reminder to all us to not take each day for granted and to not waste time with B.S. I was touched by your post and it woke me up, so to speak.
