MUGA FUGA [Mugga Fugga]
November 28, 2007
My new MUGA heart scan is 52%. The normal range is .5-.6. Last time I was .64. It was a big drop. This will probably be the last time I can have this chemo, because then my heart will be below the normal range. DeConti has a third type of chemo ready, and I might go back to this one later when my heart recovers. Yesterday Ana and I went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. A quote from a magazine review on the wall calls them "Willy Wonkas of Burgercraft." Ana had a stroke from a sneeze there that numbed the left side of her body. It's all gonna be OK, because DeConti is a "Willy Wonka of Cancercraft."

Selling a Car to the Mafia
November 25, 2007
I got out of jail again on Friday. Thanksgiving ain't no thing but a turkey wing. I got a lot of real guitar-playing done while I was in to balance out the Guitar Hero I've been playing lately. Trav has Mario Galaxy. It is awesome. It is a whole new type of game. You're shooting like a cannonball tthrough space to new mini-planets all of the time and you can flip out, walking on the top and bottom of the planets. There is an idea called gravity in the game, but it makes you feel like you're drunk because it disorients your sense of direction when the screen flip-twists upside down.
How did Will Smith sell a car to some Mafia goombas during a music montage of his first day as a car salesman on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? He crawled into the trunk to show them the copious trunk space.
Ana has been obsessed with the plastic-surgery show Nip/Tuck lately. It's got some weird stuff going on, just like me when I go to Dr. Padhya (Giggles) on Friday, Dec. 7 to have him snip a column of eyelid skin so Dr. Kelly will have room to mold...

Belated troubadour
November 18, 2007
Oh yeah, on Friday, November 9, the day before my Mosley-Cotto birthday party (am I stoopid?), I went to an outdoor concert at Jannus Landing in St. Pete. It was the almighty Down, a sludgy, groovy update of Black Sabbath-metal, with Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown who were in Pantera, Pepper Keenan of formerly-thrash metal, now sludgy, groovy update of Black Sabbath-metal, Corrosion of Conformity (C.O.C.), the drummer from Eyehategod (I don't get it. is that about Sauron?) and another guitarist who looked like the slightly fatter brother of Slayer's Kerry King. There was a huge line waiting for the show, which I don't usually see there, and the opening band was...a video screen. Yes, a video screen. For about an hour and a half, it was behind the scenes of Down on the road and '70's concert performances by bands like Black Sabbath and Ted Nugent. I might have talked about this Down concert in my blogs before, but there's a few new additions. Finally they started, they grooved, they hammered, they thrashed, they thundered. They had annoying strobe lights. Their two encore songs were Stone the Crow (their powerful harmonic hit) and Bury Me in Smoke (heavier than hell while smoke billowed on...

Prison Break
November 18, 2007
I'm in prison again. I had to go on Saturday night. I probably had a fever a couple of days earlier. I had been tired and feeling cold. Once I get these fevers I often feel cold because my body is trying to cool down. So I should have been checking my temperature earlier. When I finally did Moffitt wasn't sure if they would admit me, but my temperature was already 102.7. I'm supposed to go in as soon as it stays at 100.5 for one hour. So I had to miss a couple of good fights on HBO. I cried because it happened again, but it's normal now. Once I get here I start feeling better as they give me IV fluids, antibiotics, platelets, blood, water, and an Etch-a-Sketch. Ana was going to visit a woman who raised her for a year or more when she was a kid and almost became her adoptive mother on Monday and Tuesday. I told her she might as well go anyway because then I won't be at home without her. I'll be at the prison with all of my friends. I'm able to pack everything I need into a duffel bag in...

Missile in the Sinus
November 14, 2007
So about two months ago Ana found a little plastic missile in our room. She handed it to me and for some reason my intuitive response was to throw it toward my eyelid. It went inside my sinus. Luckily I got it out before I collapsed like a World Trade Center. So, always remember, kids, the missile in the sinus. Don't let it happen to you.
My first child's name will be Chanson, which is short for Charles Manson. I thank ya.
Who's a scary rebel? Nietzsche on a motorcycle. Watch out, conformists!
I used to practice being blind, walking about in the dark, navigating my way around unseen objects. I still practice. It might come in handy. I'm halfway there already.
I became disabled so I could avoid being drafted into the World Army and so I could get my Social Security before it disappears.
My flat-screen computer monitor died a month ago. I still haven't thrown it out. It's like a pet that I can't get rid of. This one doesn't rot, though. A-very nice. High five!
Umm, Moffitt is the Moffia, O.J. Simpson's favorite time? MURDER O'CLOCK, and remember--the missile in the sinus.
Desiderata complete.
Chortlin' Charlie...

Blog Got Lost--Summary Because the Internet is Stupid
November 12, 2007
Ana's car towed--$141
Cat to ER for possible urinary tract infection, actually constipation, visit plus scan $143. $500 enema for cat refused, vetidiots.
Guitar Hero 3 and family and friends and The Simpsons Season 10 Disc 3 currently in sync with Travis--I don't know the price. It's probably good.
Trav made Forrest Gump-style pictures of me in historical situations from a picture of me in my leather jacket. It will be part of a blog that he's been working on for years and will be unveiling soon. And that is all, because the stupid Internet steals your work and takes it to hell, never to return.

Through the Fire and Flames
November 5, 2007
So Daddy Shortshanks informed us that he's making a surprise visit this Tuesday through Friday to make sure I'm not lying about Guitar Hero. Yes, Dad, I have it. Yes, Daddy-o, you can play it. I beat every song on medium except for Dragonforce--Through the Fire and Flames. You'd have to sell your soul to the devil to beat that. Or practice a lot. I'm not sure which is better.
Oh, and the boring stuff, too. Since Daddy-yo will be here, he can get me to my scan on Wednesday and my blood work and check-in with Dr. Deconti [mark you, remember, he looks and sounds like comics wizard and Spider-Man creator Stan Lee] on Thursday, plus my first day of chemo. That just leaves Friday for Ana to drive me to my second day of chemo. I hope my new messed up Medicaid approves the delivery of Neulasta for my white blood cells, otherwise we'll have to drive to Moffitt again on Saturday to get that $3500 shot [it's worth it, and it's made out of e. coli--not a joke].
Then on Saturday there is awesome boxing with wily veteran Shane Mosley taking on undefeated Miguel Cotto. The winner...

Choppin' Broccoliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
November 1, 2007
Hey, everybody, I'm out on parole again. I had been really tired for a couple of days last week and then I discovered that I had a fever. One of my neutropenic fevers when I have no white blood cells, so I went to the hospital on Thursday night. I had a little eyelid infection and I was in there until Tuesday, Oct. 30. I had already rescheduled my PET scan for November 7 anyway. I'll get the scan on that day, then see Deconti the next day, plus have chemo that Thursday and Friday. I watched a lot of Family Guy in the hospital. Now, on to the real news.
The day I got back I received the Guitar Hero 3 game that Adam ordered for my birthday/Christmas. It is the best game for me. I rank it 11 out of 10. Yes, this one does go to 11. It rocks. I beat the game on easy in one day. Now I've got to keep playing and improving. The good thing is that I appreciate songs that I didn't like or even hear before, and it inspires me to play real guitar, too. It only has five plastic buttons instead...
