| Death Becomes Me |
| If you have ever had the flu, you ight be able to relate to this. When you are as sick as you can be, you think that you want to die and that you will never go through this again. You start washing your hands often. You do not touch a grocery store shopping buggy without using one of those wipes. You are terrified of people who cough near you. After a few months, that fear fades and you revert back to being careless. Then, when you get sick again, you remember how bad it was and curse yourself for being so careless. This is the same premise except for two things.  I can't be mad at myself for the return of the big C because there is nothing I could have done to foresee the end of remissionThe pain and suffering i am experiencing is a million and six times worse than any flu, which would be a walk in the park right now.They are thinking about admitting me and putting me into a clean room until the treatments are over in 10 days because there is so much of this new and common flu bug going around and the treatments have decimated my immune system. I have resisted so far because i cannot stand to be penned up in a room like that. Too tired to say much more except that the last two times I endured this, my hair started falling out after the third day. It has been four days and I do not believe I have lost a single hair even though it is a stronger treatment this time. I have been told that my body is building up a resistance to the treatment but the tech that administers the meds says that is impossible with radiation. Go figure. I may not post for a while. I am so sick and the reading glasses are making my head hurt. Please pray for me. I do not want to die but the treatments make me want to kill myself. How is that for an ironic catch 22? |
| sick and tired of sick and tired |
| I began treatments again last night around 9 pm Atlanta time. I will never understand why they do it at night because I could not sleep afterwards. I only slipped in and out of a semiconscious state, aware of everything yet to sick too care about any of it. I am going back to my fake hotel room to lie in the dark for the rest of the day. I need to draw the shades and get a cold rag over my eyes. Death does not seem so scary right now. No food for twentyfour hows... how am I vomiting? What am I vomiting? |
| Atlanta |
| Who hates Atlanta GA? This guy does. The hotel is nice enough but it is not really a hotel. They try to make it like a hotel but it is just a glorified hospital visitors center with beds. Doing some outpatient treatments and wondering why the sky is less blue here than at home. |
| The Great Camo Debate Continues To Wage |
| The great camouflage debate continues to wage on as true believers from both sides of the fence weigh in on hunting tactics and the best way to make yourself invisible to your prey. On the one side, full camouflage supporters believe that camouflage boots, pants, shirt, hat, and camo makeup are exactly what are needed whether you are hunting game or an enemy in warfare. Holding its own on the other side of the coin is the ever-popular ghillie suit. A Ghillie Suit is a garment that covers the body in its surrounding environment. It is made from mesh and cloth, has twigs, and leaves much like the surrounding woods or local background. The leaves or other materials flutter in the wind like the real thing. The effect is a three dimensional camouflage blend that makes it all but impossible to see -- if worn correctly. Like camo clothing, it comes in several shades of colors (seven) to encompass all four seasons. The Ghillie suit, also known as camo tent or Yowie Suit is ideal for hunting any type of prey, including man, according to Dean Stephens, General Manager of Miltacgear.com, an online company that specializes in tactical military, law enforcement, and hunting clothes and equipment. Mr. Stephens further states that the Ghillie suit allows you to creep up on just about anything, hiding a weapon in the folds of the suit or camo wrap without ever breaking your form or outline of the surrounding terrain. As long as you have masked your scent, you are as invisible as you can be. He should know since he has crept close enough to wild deer to reach out and touch them while wearing one. The misconception that many people have is that the Ghillie Suit is an item that drapes over the body like a poncho or tent. The fact is that the Ghillie Suit consists of pants, jacket with removable hood, and weapons wrap. Attached to this “suit” are seven shades of dyed camouflaged fibers. Unlike your basic camouflage, the Ghillie Suit has an inner lining made from a mesh like material so that it breathes for all day comfort. It resists mildew, will not rot, and is completely washable. Let’s not count camouflage out just yet as it is also made from durable, washable materials, and if you were to walk into the mall with your Ghillie Suit on, you might be picked up for suspicion of vagrancy and being off your meds. The regular camo clothing of the military is still effective and the manufacturers of camouflage have made strides forward in its application. Take, for instance, the camouflage face paint. Roadside bombs like the ones used in Afghanistan do tons of damage by sending out a blast of pressurized heat often higher than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is more than enough to melt the skin right off your body. Science is now rising to the challenge of this threat by developing a face paint that can withstand such extreme heat while still being waterproof and using DEET to ward of insects. While this new futuristic face paint may not be available yet, it is coming and it is extremely cool! Camouflaging warrior’s faces has been in practice almost as long as there has been warfare and men to wage it. Regardless of which way you go, camouflage clothing, or Ghillie Suit, you are bound to be a winner. On the one hand, camouflage clothing is completely accepted as a fashion statement and can be worn to the movies, the mall, in the trenches, or on the hunt. On the other hand, anyone that can sneak up on one of the most skittish and wary creatures in the woods, like Dean Stephens of Miltacgear.com, has to love the Ghillie Suit. The deer, of course, hate both. I was going to purchase a set of camouflage myself… but I cannot find them. (Wink-wink) |
| Introduction |
| Hello, My name is Scott Kuttner, although most of you that know me, know me as Bronxbishop. For many years, I have struggled to make ends meet by driving to and from a job in town, many miles from my home, fighting with traffic, working for unappreciative corporations that cared nothing for me and everything for their bottom line. This was particularly trying for me because both my wife, and her mother are disabled and unable to always care for themselves. I had to work 8 to 12 hours a day and then do the things at home that most husbands take for granted. In all, I must have worked 18 hours a day and only pursued my writing passion in small areas of free time that I would notch out of my day grudgingly. Not anymore! I have finally found a way to make hundreds of dollars a week, mostly writing, but this can easily be applied to almost anything that you can do with a computer. That includes Customer or Technical Support for huge online companies with excellent track records, Web development and design, software development, (including games) networking and information systems, writing and translation, administrative support, design and multimedia, and many more categories. If it can be done from a computer, it can be done from home. Like anything else in this life, there are a few sacrifices that you may have to make for the opportunity of working from home, but they were worth it to me as I really needed to be here and really despised driving to and from work. If this blog draws any interest, I will continue to explain how I make from home what I would make at a 9 to 5 job out in the world. If this blog sparks no interest, I will probably not waste my time as I could be earning even more money doing what I do best...writing! |
