It is said a prostate is the size of a walnut. My Doc this week said my walnut was lumpy. Very weird sensations. At first , no problem, regardless of the outcome. Then I realized it was selfish and I was only thinking of myself. Man, in my old age I realize I dont love everyone but I do love almost everyone.
they come first. I got a step kid who is so good i think he is fictional. I got a wife who shows me she loves me .
I've got two sisters who make me feel so damn good I want to share them. We all have our problems. Only mine are mentionable. I am an alcoholic. My kids hate me. the IRS would like to take our relationship to a new level. And I have encountered an unfortunate legal challenge. I dont drink currently.
Fragile X has impacted my dearly loved ones.
My Mom who I love is about as racist as a lovely white 84 year old can be. Ps. she was horribly abusive growing up. My Dad was an alcoholic. My dad was brilliant and funny as anyone I have ever seen professional or otherwise.
My sisters have been dealt a tough hand but have played the cards they have been dealt to the benefit of everyone. It would be wrong not to mention my mom was raised by a dick.
Why all this detritus? Am I looking for sympathy? No. Because we are all the same. I mean not my family but all of us. You and me , we all have stories.
We all have responsibilities to change the future. I dont want my experiance to be shared by anyone. The thing is you, me, them, we are all the same. I bet there are more stories like mine than the wholesome Brady bunch types.
We need to change ourselves to make things easier on us, but we also need to change our leaders if they are not responsive to us, or aware of our problems and needs.
To me personally it means doing all I can to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States. Locally Siobahn Bennett is running against an incumbant republican in the 15th congressional district that has a dem +2 (charlie Cook PVI), yet every site does not think this is a competetive race. If you happen to read this please talk up PA 15. It is up for grabs and winable. Please make folks take notice.
So the point is Vote. Participate. Change in any way possible. Take responsibility. No Hatred. Love your brother, and your sister.
