This Is War!

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

This is war!
You dirty mother fucker!
You’ve messed me up again!
And this is war!

Do not forgive him Father
For he knows just who he fucks
He knows just how he ruins
and obliterates
from the outside in
Send him
Send him
with the heat of my fire
out of this world!

This is war!
And I will rip you to pieces!
I am the beast that you created
and I will tear into you
and not let go!
You fucked with me
And you’ll never see me coming
You’ll never get the chance
to rise and mess me up again!

This is war!
And you’re going down today!
I am an army of one
I answer to nobody
And fight by no rules
I fight for my country
My world
My son
You will not take me away!

Head and Shoulders

This PSA by The ALS Society of Canada so accurately captures the reality of life with ALS.


ALS Matters

I know it’s difficult, heartbreaking to watch. I see myself and Aiden so clearly in this PSA. The reality of this disease is that it can destroy families. People just have no idea, and many/most don’t want to know. I am determined to heighten awareness about ALS. People living with ALS are basically written off, left for dead by the medical community, and sadly… by society. That just is not acceptable. People need to understand what we are up against, what we, and our families have to deal with. People need to be moved. People need to stop looking the other way. This disease needs to be stared in the face, and battled. ALS can strike anyone, any family. It IS your worst enemy. Fight it!

Wearing Off

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

It’s like being really, really drunk,
and it doesn’t feel good anymore,
and you just want it to wear off,
you want to sleep,
and wake up grateful for the hangover,
a sign of recovery.
You just want to pull yourself together,
be normal again,
but you never are.
