What can I say???
It’s all been said, the good stuff, the bad stuff, the sad stuff, the happy stuff. The blame game, the political backstabbing, the talking heads on the tube are incessant and annoying, stupefying, mindless and useless. Sometimes I wanna just reach thru the screen and hug the intelligent people and the next moment, strangle the idiots. I have my own opinion on a lot of what I’ve seen, some good, some bad. Praise and thanks go to the rescuers, whoever they may be and however they were able to do it, even if they saved one single person from the mire they are a hero, no doubt about that. Just being there and lending a helping hand in any way shape or form makes you a hero.
I consider myself to be one of the very lucky ones, all my kin are alive and well, I’m healthy and well fed, warm and am able to choose my destiny from here on. Too many don’t have that option, they also have no where to go and have lost everything and loved ones, I feel very sorry for them, especially the ones that had no choice but to stay for whatever reason. If they had a way out of the city before the storm and didn’t take advantage of it then all I can say is fuck ‘em. Don’t whine to me or anyone else about your fucked up situation, it’s not my fault and no one else’s but your own. You made the choice, now shut the fuck up and live with it.
To the peeps that had no way out, I’m sad for you and I know this country will help in every way possible, the outpouring of food, money, clothing and shelter from all directions has been nothing short of amazing. Offers for a place to stay have been pouring in from my blogging friends, everyday I get a new case of the warm fuzzies. (I like that) hehe.
I heard this morning that my brother’s house in Hammond, La. now has power and they are packing up to head out of Baton Rouge and home. I may end up there later this week, but it promises to be a very crowded house from what I undertand. I may move on from there rather quickly, who knows where! LOL I would love to do a blogging tour to meet as many of you guys as possible but money is a bit tight and the cost of gas alone has put a damper on driving, that part sucks. I still may do it though….
We also heard that they’ve locked down the area I live in, Jefferson Parish for the next 3 weeks at least, going to the house to retrieve personal belongings is out of the question now! And it’s also confirmed that the huge oak tree in the backyard has tipped over and is leaning against the house, damaging the roof and rear wall but hasn’t actually crushed the house. Also that one of it’s branches has busted thru my bedroom window, the idea of squirrels and birds moving into my bedroom while I’m gone pisses me off!! Just stay out of my computers and what remains of my clothes ya little shits!!
It took a lot of doing but I was finally able to register online with FEMA for aid, at first they tried to tell me that I don’t exist (I always hate when that happens!) although I don’t know what they can do for me or will. I had tried the highly publicized phone number they keep flashing on the TV but calling that sumbitch gets you a machine that says they’re too busy to talk to you, tells you to try back later and then hangs up on you!! WTF is that about! Bastards… I was able to register with the Texas Human Resources office, they gave me a debit card for some grocery money (food stamps). I’ve also gotten in touch with the Methodist Hospital here in Dallas, they want me to come into the liver transplant unit over there and get my blood samples done to check on my health and liver condition, so I’m happy about that. They will also hook me up with a Doc if they see a problem with my blood samples…
I plan on meeting tCj and a couple of other bloggers (that I don’t know) in the Dallas area tomorrow sometime. We’ve talked by phone a couple times, she sounds really sweet, hehe. I’m going to try to enjoy myself as much as possible and keep a smiling face up, a chip on my shoulder for the asshats and just live. I really don’t see a point in fretting or crying about what’s lost or what might be lost. I just want you guys to know that I’m doing ok and look forward to reading more from you all as I try to catch up on all your blogs!!! Big hugs and lotsa poinks!!!!! =)

I’m glad to hear that a little aid is finally reaching you; have you been able to talk to your insurance people about your house?
I hope all this stress hasn’t caused problems with your liver; my fingers are crossed that everything’s ok, and going to stay that way!!
I’m glad you have to stay away from your house because I told you that for medical reasons you did not need to return. Now someone else has seen to it that you can not….Guess they must have listened to me….yeah right. It is good to know you will be taken care of medically for I have been concerned about that. Also glad to know you were able to get registered with FEMA. Take care Se7en and if I can help you in any way, let me know.
Love to you sweet one.
so so glad to hear that you are well, as is your family.
know there are many thoughts for you in your safety, health, and well being always.
xoxo.
So glad you are ok. I am sending you a huge hug right now! Can ya feel it?
Love, Lilly
Warm fuzzies are a good thing!
You have such a good attitude, good for you Hon. That will help get ya through all this.
And what the heck is a poink???
BIG HUG!!
How you are maintaining such a logical and positive outlook is nothing short of amazing! In that respect you yourself are a hero.
I doubt your blogger tour will bring you to Wisconsin, since NO ONE comes here willingly! But if it does, my house could sleep 10 extra people comfortably… so bring friends! I’ll go wash all my abth towels, just in case!
Love you, man! It’s inspiring to hear that you are holding up just fine and focusing on what is good in life. You fucking rock!
you brought a big smile to my face to see your comment on my blog, it meant you were ok and had landed at the next stop. I wish I were close enough for a visit but I’m just glad you are ok and making the best of your situation. Hugs and lots of smooches
You’ve got a great attitude, and I hope that things at home will be OK and be able to be repaired easily. It’s good that the tree didn’t crush the house. As for the squirrels and birds, they better stay out of the stuff LOL
*HUGS*
MMMM, love them poinkz!
Good to hear that you’re getting hooked up on medical care again! I was worried about that.
Holler my way if there’s anything I can do.
Glad to hear things are somewhat falling into place for you and you are able to get some medical attention!!! Yay!!!
So happy you’re doin’ well, and able to stay so positive, darlin’! I was wonderin’ how your liver was holdin’ up, bettin’ those tests’ll be alright….
Many hugs and poinks!
Glad to hear you’re alright and making your way home (or in the general vacinity, anyway). Take care of you, Sugar, and enjoy it here! DFW is a big place to get lost in, with lots of opportunities to people watch.
I seem to recall a recipe for baked squirrel… will try and find it for you when you return home.
Seven, you have a great attitude. Keep smiling and life will smile on you. I’m sooo glad to hear that you are okay, your family is all okay, and your house is still standing. That is indeed, excellent news. You have been in my thoughts A LOT these past couple of weeks. I’m happy that you are updating your blog and keeping everyone informed.
If you decide to take that blogger friend tour and make it up north, I insist that you visit me. If not, I still know you have a lot of friends wherever you go.
Take care.
just strted reading your blog.so glad you are outa there.take care,,,poinkz??
Hey there Mr. Popular Guy! In the wee hours of the morning I suddenly was compelled to go to directly to this site, do not pass go, do not collect $200….pretty eerie indeed. Anyway..glad I did. You SHOULD collect $200 for your great attitude and outlook on life. Bye!
Hey Sev, way to keep that nose up and the chin clean! I can only hope that if I live through something so devastating, I’ll adopt your attitude. Fuck it, is right. Can’t change it… might as well roll with it. So here’s to you rolling, baby!! **big ass POINK**
it’s warm. it’s fuzzy.
*poink*
I have to *work* on a Sunday. What the hell is up with that? If I’d known this, I wouldn’t've taken my promotion!!!! GAHHHH!!
Anyway, can’t wait to meetcha later…still trying to figure out exactly what’s going on and where we’re headed…it *is* a rather nice day out though
Is is possible that your little smoking critter in the pic above is living in your room ? That wouldn’t be so bad he seems like a nice enough squirrel. Glad to hear that finally figured out that you exist. And if you make your way up to Jersey of course Patsy has an extra bedroom for ya.
I guess you will be a little nutz if the squirrels move in, but think of all the blog fodder!!!!
Seriously, good thoughts and hope that life will resume to some sense of normalcy soon.
You are simply one hell of a guy. Your attitude, outlook on life, and the way you just keep smiling is nothing short of amazing. When I grow up, I wanna be a Se7en.
hugs, poinks, and safe travels friend.
Oh, and next time, I really *am* paying, whether you like it or not!
amazing post…..
all I can imagine is your joint smoking comment squirrel up there on your bed veggin’ out….
Whew- glad you’re ok, 7.
Strong post & (((7)))) to a strong man.
LMAO about that squirrel. Squirrel is one of my many nicknames…Gr8 news about meeting up w/ some blogging buds!
I wouldn’t worry about the squirrels getting at your clothes, looks like the one at the top of the comments section has found your stash…
Great attitude btw, your safe and your family are safe, nothing else matters.
I like your style and your attitude.
And I hear from Snow White that critters are great friends. Hee hee.
Hugs and poinks to you too! I’m glad you are safe and have lots of people offering couches. Mine is still open by the way.
I’m so glad you’ll be seeing a doctor, I worry ya know! Also I am really proud of your positive uplifting attitude. You are like a good bra, support where it’s needed. 
Be safe in your travels my friend!
