It's time to say goodbye.

So, if you happen to still be reading this blog, it is time to say goodbye. I am not the same person I was when I first started it, and I feel no need to continue it.

On the other hand, I will continue to leave it up-for now. I began another blog today: http://gheaforce.blogspot.com and I sincerely hope that you follow me over to my new one.

So long, my dear readers. It's been fun. I hope to say that this is not goodbye, but the choice is yours.

Best wishes,

Jeremy

Back again:

Hi. Once again trying to keep this blog alive. Life has been, well crazy busy.

At the moment, I'm in Texas. Which has been the only opportunity to write since, well, last year. Been a crazy year.

Anyway, just posting you to let you know all is well. Hopefully I'll post again soon.

Hello, old friends. First off, my sincerest apologies as to the upkeep of this blog. It's been, as you are all well aware, quite a long while since I have posted last. If you have stuck around, consider me both incredibly flattered and impressed.

So, you're probably wondering what is new with me. Lots, is the most simple answer. To be honest, I cannot even remember the last time I posted, so I'm not exactly sure where to begin. I guess we will go with the most recent news and move our way back. In fact, I am going to be telling you something that I haven't told my own family:

I have bad news. A few weeks back (no further, I promise) I found two lumps on the back of my neck. The one off to the side is most likely just a mole that is growing; but the other one is at the back of my neck, where I know my brain stem is. This is the one that is sensitive to applied pressure-i.e. a pillow. It has also given me headaches on a number of occasions; such as the one I am having now.

Now, I know what you're wondering. What has the doctor said about this? To be completely honest: I don't know. I have yet to actually visit a doctor about it, primarily because of what he or she might say. The other reason is that if it truly is what I fear it is; well, there's nothing modern science can do about it anyway, due to it's location.

There is also the strong possibility that one or both of them are cysts. If you have followed this blog in the past, I have mentioned that I have one (or a cluster-still not sure which) on my right kidney. That one only bothers me know when I'm dehydrated, or just need to flush my kidneys. If that is the case, then, well, there's nothing I can do about it, due to its location.

Why have I chosen here to make this known. Well, because, I honestly don't know who is reading this right now, and anonymity is actually comforting. Like I said-I'm genuinely scared right now, and if someone I know starts freaking out about it as well, it's only going to be worse for me. Call it the easy way out, if you will. Second is that there is a slim chance that some doctor or scientist will read this and know of a cure for whatever I am experiencing. One of the advantages of the internets.

So, actually, I'll just have this as my post for today. In closing I promise two things: number one, I will go see a doctor, and number two, I will post more often. I hope all is well with you all.

Take care.

He's Alive!

Yes, it's true. I am still breathing and capable of writing. I just have been computer deficient for way too long. Good news, that will be changing Saturday, when I am getting a laptop. That actually works. What a concept.

Anywho, the other reason for this post is that you need to vote for my friend Jenn Evans. Vote now! http://www.kisw.com/pages/6260412.php If anyone is Rock Girl material, it's Jennifer E. She's seriously my best friend, and she's very much a rocker. And crazy hot to boot. Anyhow, stop reading and vote.

Catch ya later,
Jeremy

End of an Era

So, I know full well that I'm not the first person to post about the deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, or even Ed McMahan. And I know that I'm not the first to realize the frightening thought that they all died in the same week. With the passing of Billy Mays-the OxyClean guy, today, is just another nail in the coffin.

Many of these faces will not be forgotten anytime soon, but some will last longer than others. The musical impact that Michael Jackson had on the world will last generations. This is no exaggeration. He has influenced so many artists in so many different genres of music, and Thriller is still a record holder for sales. Also, the Moonwalk, which only he could ever truly pull off, cannot be fully duplicated.

This is not a blog about Michael, Farrah, or even Billy. It's about the impact that these people had on our lives, no matter how large or small. Their images and voices are imprinted in our subconscious, something that will not be passed on to the unborn generations to come if we choose not to. Of course, that's with anyone. Those who continue to live with us after they have passed one are the ones that have had the most impact in our lives. Famous or not.

One question that arises is why these famous people have such an impact. What is it about these personalities that we are drawn to (and in some cases-with dangerous and disastrous results)? Why is it these particular individuals have such an effect on us? For some, it's talent. True, raw, undeniable talent. Talent that we enjoy and wish we had ourselves. Others are famous for just being famous. These will always be the ones to be the first to be forgotten after they are gone. But there is something there that we are drawn to.

Many of these individuals wouldn't be capable of leading us, should the occasion arise. Yet, we follow them and try to imitate them as if they could. Is it self confidence? Many of them lack it, but project as if they do have it. So what is it? Perhaps, we will never know.

A death is sad, no matter who is the one dying. No person is ever unloved, even if they feel that way. We all leave an imprint on others, some more than others. Humans come and go with the breeze, but legacies outlive us.

So, what kind of an imprint are you leaving on those around you? How will you be remembered, and is that how you would like it to be? The only chance you have to change is before you die, so might as well do it now while you still can.

Allright, done rambling. Hope you all have a good one.

Take care,
Jeremy

My life took the bullet train and left me behind.

So, yeah, I had every intention of posting on here last month but it didn't happen. A lot has happened, I just can't remember most of it. I guess that means that I need to post more often.

Actually, no, strike that. I do post quite a bit. It just so happens to be on twitter-my new little toy. The fact that I can do it from my cell is extremely handy. Especially since I am still without a working computer.

The biggest thing that did happen that I can remember is that I went camping. Loved it. Had a total blast. I was reminded what fun was. I need that more often. A lot more often.

Anyway, I know this is short. Sorry. But I swear to you that I will post a lot more in June.

Take care,
Jeremy

Going down with the ship

Over the past year, I switched my newspaper subscription from the Seattle Times to the Seattle PI. The deal at the time was a good one, and I was pleasantly surprised when I made the switch. The whole entertainment page (and selection of comics) was far superior, the layout was more eye catching, and I enjoyed David Horsey's political cartoons.

It was also the oldest newspaper in Seattle. I use the past tense term, because, as of tomorrow, it will no longer be in print. Instead, it will solely be online at http://www.seattlepi.com/ and I assume that the paper that will be delivered will be the Seattle Times once again. I have already made the decision that when the contract runs out, I will switch over to The News Tribune- as it is a less expensive paper and I have been pleased by what I have seen in the past.

I will miss receiving the PI. I found that I looked forward more to reading it than I did the Seattle Times. It seemed- at least to me- to be a more in depth newspaper. The stories were more involved, from the front page, to the sports page. And while the Times and the PI often carried most of the same stories, there were some in there that I got solely from the PI.

So, long, Seattle Post Intelligencer. You will be greatly missed.
