With all the terrible things that are going on in our world, I felt the need for something to feel good about and so I listened to this song.

France was there for us as we fought to create this nation. One of our greatest symbols, the Statue of Liberty, was a gift to this new nation. In the wake of the tragedies that have befallen France, my heart cries out nous sommes avec toi!

Summer Break!

Results from liver biopsy were good! Based on the most recent scans, the main tumor has not shown any change so I am being given a break for the next few weeks with no treatments. I will go in once a month for some lab work and scan but I get to relax and enjoy a summer!

Michael Jackson - Heal The World

Heal The World

My heart cries for those affected by the senseless shooting in Orlando but I refuse to jump on the anti-Islam bandwagon. I am more inclined to get behind the stronger gun laws and anti-discrimination movements. Learning about and learning to accept other cultures would seem the better option. Getting help for those with mental illness rather than stigmatizing the mentally ill as somehow not worthy to be part of the community. Be it Christian, Muslim, Jew or any other religion, if someone professes believe in that religion and then uses it as a justification for violence, it is that person who is sick and not the religion.I look at the group known as ISIS or ISIL. as a cult. A cult that draws in the weak minded and in no way is a true representation of the Muslim religion.

Let Us Pray for Mankind!

Enough with the hatred of those who are not our mirror image. Enough with the easy access to weapons. Enough with the bureaucratic red tape required to get help for mental health issues. Enough with blaming the race or religion of the perpetrator.

Soweto Gospel Choir - Khumbaya

JYJ W in A-nation

JYJ was one of the first Korean musical groups that I came to know and with each new release of music or acting I continue to be amazed at their talent. Each member is unique and in their own right are special but when combined they blow my mind!

Happy Easter

The C Word

When you are "fighting" cancer, you are in fact in a battle with your own body or at least with the rebel cell faction. When I was first diagnosed and went through the surgery and following chemo/radiation treatments, I thought I had won the battle. Subsequent checkups proved me wrong and the rebel cells were regrouping and so the battle goes on. There have been good days and bad days and so far the good have outnumbered the bad. I still find myself hesitant when asked in greeting, "how are you?" I catch myself before telling them just how I am doing on those bad days. There have been days when pain has been so severe that I want to give up and then a friend will send me a text and suddenly the world seems worthwhile again. On April 1 (right the fool's day) I am going to have another surgery so I am gearing up for victory!

Descendants of the Sun Episode 1

Descendants of the Sun Episode 1: Some relationships are fated to despite the challenges of time and place. Yoo Si Jin (Song Joong Ki), the leader of a Special Forces unit, meets trauma surgeon Kang Mo Yeon (Song Hye Kyo) in a hospital emergency room after Si Jin and his second-in-command, Seo Dae Young (Jin Goo), chase down a thief on their day off. Si Jin is immediately smitten with Mo Yeon, and he asks her out on a date. But Si Jin keeps getting called to duty when he is with Mo Yeon, and the two also realize that they have conflicting views about human life (he will kill to protect his country and she has to save lives at all costs). They decide to break off their budding relationship as a result. Dae Young also tries to break off his relationship with Army doctor Yoon Myeong Ju (Kim Ji Won) because her father, Lt. General Yoon (Kang Shin Il), thinks Si Jin is a better match for his daughter. Si Jin and Dae Young are then deployed to the fictional war-torn country of Urk on a long-term assignment of helping the United Nations keep peace in the area. After repeatedly being passed over for a promotion because of her lack of connections, Mo Yeon gives up performing surgeries, loosening her principles somewhat to become a celebrity TV doctor and caring for VIP patients at the hospital. But when she refuses the sexual advances of the hospital chairman, Mo Yeon is picked to lead a medical team to staff a clinic in Urk! There, Mo Yeon unexpectedly reconnects with Si Jin. “Descendants of the Sun” is a 2016 South Korean drama series directed by Lee Eung Bok. The entire series was pre-produced prior to airing, which is a departure from how Korean dramas are typically produced. The stars and production team spent one month in Greece to film much of the series’ storyline. The drama also is the first project for Song Joong Ki after finishing his mandatory two-year military service.

Truth is at time an illusion

One of the problems with being a cancer patient at this time of year is how to answer the simple question of how are you doing when asked by friends and family. The fact that my energy level is not up to the "demands" of the season. There will be no cookie baking this year! There will be little in the way of holiday decorating and most shopping will be done online. Depression which hits many at this time of year is added to the other miseries of this battle but when asked, I put a smile on my face and say, "Doing good, how about you? Merry Christmas!"

Update

Jackio Cancer Treatment Funding


Home from another hospital stay...this time it was short! A case of extreme high blood pressure that required monitoring and since I was there we did the monthly screenings as well. Now I am catching up on the rest that I lost while I await the test results. Fingers are crossed that I can maintain my treatment free status!

Medical Funding

I was reluctant to do this but as my medical cost after insurance has been climbing and friends telling me that others are doing this for things like moving expenses, etc, I thought I would hold out my cup.

Denied marriage license in Morehead, KY - Rowan County



Back in the 60's, school official who refused to follow the court's order of desegregation were arrested and many lost their jobs So why is nothing being done here, at the least refusing to to your job should be grounds for termination. This is not a private sector job!

Destiny - Animation Short

Paperman

A Not So Good Day

I was first diagnosed with cancer in December 2011 with surgery (my delay due to many factors) in March of  2012. This was followed by courses of both radiation and chemo treatments. Tons of lab work, scans, etc and followed by more surgeries. I should be thankful that I remain in relatively "good" health and that I am able to live on my own despite some limitations. However upon learning today that I face the possibility of yet another surgery hit hard and for just a moment I wanted to say the hell with it and then I got a message from an online friend, one of those random "I'm thinking of you" postings and the realization of just how many people have been following me throughout this medical journey and supporting me along the way hit. So I am going to get back into fighting mode!

Best Kiss #1

K-drama kisses are known for being less than what viewers wants to see in a kiss. More often than not it is the tentative lip touch that is suppose to make our couple weak at the knees! There are, however, many actors, who along with their costars, know how to deliver that screen kiss that can make the viewer weak kneed. Here are just a few of the ones that I have found:
