But I had to write about the J. Geils and Aerosmith concert tonight. Awesome. We had great seats and both bands were fantastic. I know I saw both of them like 30-35 years ago and they still sound the way they did then. And to see these 60-plus guys dancing around the stage and looking quite sexy if I do say so myself, was an inspiration to me. Clearly, old is the new young. I am exhausted because i stood up the whole time and sang and danced along with the bands. For the second half of the show, two clinically depressed guys were next to me, standing up with their arms folded, never clapping or smiling or anything. I think they may have been spies. And they were crowding my space, so of course I had to sing louder and dance around much more than I would... Cancer does suck but it is a little funny. blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3867052 Sun, 15 Aug 2010 05:43:00 +0100 3867052 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2859110&cid=t_202487_136_f&fid=39027&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lrdlc.dreamhosters.com%2F2009%2F08%2Fa-newly-discovered-poem%2F I was going through old backup CDs on the computer and found a file simply called “08212004.txt”. I don’t remember actually writing the poem but it’s definitely mine. It has no title: I am a burning force, an explosion of furious, blinding light. Unstoppable. Immovable. I am a raging blue firestorm. All consuming. I am a cold steel frame. Indestructible. I cannot see. I am crusted over. Blind. Hardened. Small. Crunched and cracked. Pathetic. -car It’s clear to me now that I was trying to express the two very different, but very real impressions I have of myself. I am very proud, but equally ashamed of myself. I’m amazing. I’m a f.ing badass. I survived cancer, and all the bullshit since then. I have lived life on a razor’s edge. I know way mo...

They have a way of showing me too much reality. I wish they only reflected me from the neck up. But, nope, it’s all there. The worst is the dreaded after-shower mirror glance. Showers start off nice. They can be relaxing, refreshing, enlivening. They can make me feel young and alive. But stepping out, toweling off, and catching my reflection in the mirror is always jarring and unsettling. In my head I’m a 28 year old dude and that’s it. But not in the mirror. It shows me a twisted, misshapen form. It shows me skin wrapped tight against bone. It shows me scars and weird angles. It shows me an old, crooked man with my head on him. Every f.ing time. I haven’t gotten used to it. I hate the reminder of disability. Another disab...

You can’t avoid them forever, and ignoring them won’t make them go away. Come Thanksgiving, they’ll plop down right next to you and ask to borrow your fork. So you’d better figure out how to confront the little devils before they eat your dessert too. Here are a few fun ideas for how to tell your fears to hit the bricks. 1. Yell at them. Tell them to go to a place where there are no lemonade stands. 2. Laugh at them. A good technique: start with “ha” and end with “hee.” 3. Talk about them. Preferably to a friend, over a cup of strong coffee. 4. Scare them away. Any mask will do, but any beast or vampire getup is particularly effective. 5. Dress them up. With the right attire and hairdo, you can make anything...
