The Upcoming Surgery

 This is my last blog entry prior to my surgery. My right colectomy, which was originally scheduled for 1:15 pm has been moved up to 11:45 am so I'll be at the hospital at 9:45 am. I'm planning on bringing my iPad with me so I can, hopefully, post a post-op report on how things went. I REALLY want this surgery to go well and be as routine and uncomplicated as possible. For an unknown time after my surgery my bowels will be shut down so I won't be able to eat or drink anything. As soon as I am able, I'll be taking my happy ass over to Red Lobster so I can enjoy a nice Ultimate Feast platter and Cheddar Bay biscuits. After all that I'll be going through I think I deserve some good seafood. I can't say that I'm not worried despite reassurances otherwise. All the pre-op preparations are done. The necessary paperwork has been filled out and turned in. My bowels have been cleaned out and the prescribed pharmaceuticals taken. I'm going to be in the hospital for about a week and at home recovering for about three more weeks after that. How I'll spend all this free time is unknown to me.

  Update: Due to some emergency surgery, my colectomy has been moved back to 1:00 pm.

Cowardly, Chicken Shit Vigilantes

  In another article fromThe Daily Kos, a group of vigilante nut jobs, in order to keep Central American children from crossing the border, decided to try and shut down the border. This pissed off the Mexican cartels who made it clear to the vigilantes "The cartel has people at every port listed...waiting for us, so I was told." Upon this revelation, all the vigilantes, except 5, bailed out of the event. These inbred, right wing, fucking retarded gun nuts talk big when they're up against unarmed children trying to cross the border but when threatened by a group that has considerable firepower and the wherewithal to use it against them, they shit their collective pants and haul ass for home. Of course this is to be expected from a group that would use their wives and children as human shields when confronted by government forces at Cliven Bundy's ranch. These people are racist, homophobic genetic defectives that barely qualify as sentient beings. They should all get together and find a place to hole up and remove their presence from civilized Americans. They are a blight on this great nation.

Hobby Lobby Ruling Bites Us in the Ass Again

In a new article from The Daily Kos, Vergel Steed, a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, doesn't have to comply with a federal subpoena because naming church leaders would violate his religious freedom. This is according to a Sept. 11th decision by U.S. District Court Judge David Sam. The FLDS has been under scrutiny because of alleged child labor violations and forced marriages of grown men to underage girls. So once again the Hobby Lobby ruling is biting us in the ass. The FLDS is trying to use the ruling to cover up its less than moral activities. This asinine SCOTUS ruling basically allows anyone with "deeply held" religious beliefs to thumb their nose at the law and get away with it no matter how idiotic those beliefs might be because "It is not for the Court to 'inquir[e] into the theological merit of the belief in question.'" How fucking quaint. It's my "deeply held" belief that the chronically fucking stupid right wing SCOTUS jackwads responsible for this maggot ridden piece of filth be strung up by their genitals while having every nerve excoriated. 

The NFL and Criminal Behavior

  The NFL has proven on multiple recent occasions that it doesn't give a rat's ass about child abuse, spousal abuse or any other crimes committed by its players. All it cares about is money. Money, money, money, money. Fuck everyone and everything else. It's time for the higher ups at the NFL to stop huffing their own fermented shit and clean up the league. As long as it coddles the criminals in its ranks, those players will consider themselves above the law and learn nothing. They must suffer the consequences for their actions.

Heading for Surgery

  On Sept. 25th, I'm going to have laparoscopic colorectal surgery to remove the cancerous polyp from my cecum. Despite the fact that the polyp is only approximately 1cm, about one third of my large intestine will be removed. I believe this is being done in order to prevent the cancer from spreading to my lymph nodes. There's some lab and prep work that needs to be done prior to the surgery. I also have to get in touch with Human Resources at work to secure the time off. I'm going to be in the hospital for about one week and off from work for about a month. I also need to call AIL and see if they need to get involved.

Science may have identified Jack the Ripper

  The Daily Kos has reported that Jack the Ripper's identity may now be known. Genetic material obtained from a shawl found by Catherine Eddowes' body had DNA evidence from both Eddowes and one other person. Rather than restate things, I'll post links to both articles. The articles are from The Daily Kos and The Daily Mail. If this proves to be legitimate, we'll finally have the answer to one of the greatest unsolved crimes of all time.

My Last Rant on this Subject

  My sex life is nonexistent. It is always going to be nonexistent. With that in mind, I've decided to make this my last rant on this topic. After this, I won't write about it anymore. As any regular reader here knows, women are utterly and completely disinterested in me. I am the ultimate omega male. There many reasons for this.
  1. I'm not particularly handsome. Let's face facts, I'm a dumpy, possibly balding fuck. My looks pretty much scream genetic defective.
  2. Despite a college degree, I work as a wage slave in a grocery store doing a job a retarded monkey could probably pull off. Whatever potential I had was wasted due to laziness and stupidity on my part. A B.S. in chemistry and nothing to show for it.
  3. I never left home. That's right, dear insouciant reader, yours truly still lives with his parents. If there's anything guaranteed to both turn women away and keep them away, it's this.
  4. No woman wants to deal with someone as sexually inexperienced as I am. Being a virgin at my age is proof positive of how undesirable I am to the opposite sex. Hell, I couldn't get laid at a heterosexual nymphomaniacs convention.
  5. While it might appear at times that I seem to be a happy person, deep down I'm a bitter, cynical individual that tends to regard humanity as little more than a large group of vicious animals. There are times when I sincerely believe that the only reason other people exist is so they can metaphorically shit all over me.
  6. I'm a nothing and a nobody. I'm so far beneath contempt it's a wonder the rest of humanity even bothers to acknowledge my existence.
  7. Too much fantasizing has severely skewed what I want in a potential mate. I cling to an image of a desirable woman that is unachieveable. Expecting any woman to become my perfect mate, especially given how woefully inadequate I am is the height of arrogance. I have no right to hold anyone to standards I have so miserably failed to achieve.
  Taken singly, none of these physical and character flaws would necessarily prevent me from finding that special someone. However, the whole is far, far greater than the sum of its parts. Each defect augments and magnifies the others rendering said whole wholly, completely and utterly unpalatable to the fairer sex. I'm surprised they don't become physically ill whenever I'm around.
  So ends my final rant on this matter.

Colonoscopy Update

  In my last colonoscopy post, I mistakenly stated that one of the polyps was in a precancerous state. That statement is wrong. The polyp found in my cecum is cancerous specifically an invasive moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. As far as I know, the cancer is limited to the polyp itself. I had a CT scan this past Friday that will provide more information about the extent of the cancer. Needless to say, I'll be getting surgery to remove it some time in the future. Updates will be posted on this blog as more information comes in.
