There's No Way Out Of Here
So I was watching a show about cancer today. They had several people who had stage 4 metastasis and were going to die. How terrible for these lovely folks. What a crushing diagnosis that would be. They interviewed the doctors in these cases, who said we can give them 7 more months with treatments, etc. I thought to myself, I would rather just be dead than live 7 months of hell with chemotherapy, radiation, surgery. What kind of life would that be. I believe in euthanasia. I feel if a person has a terminal disease, they should be allow to die with dignity at a time and place of their choice.
There really is no way out of here. There are no options that I can come up with. I would love to break on through to the other side. How do you get to the other side? To another dimension or plane.
I don't belong here. I don't want to be here. I want to be somewhere, just not here.
The show about cancer made me think about the end. Its going to happen. Its the one thing we all have in common. It angers me. I didn't ask to be born. No one checked with me to see if I wanted to live this life. Before I go to bed some nights I wonder and secretly wish it will just fade to black.
The video for Fade to Black are scenes from Saving Private Ryan. I saw the movie once and can never watch it again. I cried like a baby at the end, it affected me that much. The only other movie I ever saw that wrenched my emotions like that was Schindler's List.
On a more positive note, Our Moz has announced a summer tour of the USA, starting in June!! There is a date at Madison Square Garden with Blondie. That will be an epic night in old New York. It doesn't look good for me as far as attending a show. There is no Pittsburgh date, the closest is Akron, which is about a 3 hour drive but its on a Monday. A friend who I play hockey with was going to go if he came to Pittsburgh but won't go to Akron. So I'm in a quandary at this point. I must ponder the situation.
