i can’t even. the GOP is so completely deluded. i can’t wait until it completely implodes.

We trust the good Maker has opened your eyes to the wrongs which you and your fathers have done to me and my fathers, in making us toil for you for generations without recompense. Here I draw my wages every Saturday night; but in Tennessee there was never any pay-day for the negroes any more than for the horses and cows. Surely there will be a day of reckoning for those who defraud the laborer of his hire.

i miss: yoga, exercising regularly, having energy, not crying every day, eating three times a day, sleeping regular hours, the regular cause and effect of illness and treatment.

good things: jeff goldblum in anything, my jill bliss eco journal, sunlight, editing pictures, getting buffy trivia correct (pssh, like i wouldn’t), winning the triangle meatless mondays contest.

i saw my doctor last week for a non-mystery-illness-related problem, and he referred me to another rheumatologist. they called me with an opening at the end of march. so i get to go four days sooner than the appointment i was given in december. these next two months are an eternity. i feel like i’m waiting to die. so much for 25 being a good year.

all i want is for someone to hold my stupid swollen hands while i try not to cry…but if that really happened i would send that someone away because i do NOT cry in front of people.

when i get a phone call or text:

damn it, why are you contacting me?

when i get a phone call or text from a guy i like:

NOPE, HE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU. THIS WILL END BADLY. HE DOESN’T LIKE YOU.

when i’m around most people:

they don’t like you. you’re a joke. just go home.

RIP: Robert Hegyes, best remembered for his role as Epstein on the 1970’s sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter, passed away today in a New Jersey hospital near his home.

He was 60.

Hegyes, who had been in poor health for some time, developed chest pains this morning and was rushed to the emergency room at JFK Medical Center in Edison. On the way, Hegyes went into full cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Born to a Hungarian-American father and an Italian-American mother, Hegyes was raised in Metuchen, which he continued to call home throughout his life.

Getting his first big break starring in the off-Broadway play Naomi Court, it wasn’t long after that he was cast in the role that came to define his career — Sweathog Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein.

After Kotter, Hegyes made several one-off appearances on several TV shows, and later earned a recurring role on CBS’s Cagney & Lacey as Det. Manny Esposito.

He retired from acting, but remained actively involved in the craft, teaching courses and writing screenplays. Most recently, Hegyes expressed interest in directing, but his health problems kept him from realizing his ambition.

no! this is affecting me way more than it should. welcome back kotter was one of my favorite shows.

THIS.

this is not rivalry, this is vandalism and it’s pathetic, just like their basketball team.

GO HEELS!
