The Hillbilly Philosopher Wants To Know ....

OK, for the past few days, on my Facebook account, I have been asking a series of seemingly random questions. I have tried my best not to get involved the the threads that followed, and some of them have been really interesting to read the responses.

Now, I am going to let the cat out of the bag. This is all a multifaceted project. First, I am very happy to see some of the responses made by folks who do not post a lot - their getting involved has really been the most present surprise.

Second, it has allowed what I hope to be was a little "getting to know you " space for my friends from different sections of my life to voice in a common area.

Lastly, and perhaps the cream on top, these questions will be answered two at a time in my upcoming blog posts here. So if you want to know the answers from my perspective, this is where you will have to come to find them.

First post up sometime tonight!

Cancer

“Hey Dude- Look – I got to go back to the doctor in three days- he said I got a lump or a spot of some shit they want to check out.” That simple run on sentence was the first I became aware that my friend and coworker had cancer. Looking back I would have stopped what I was doing in my tracks, grabbed his hand and drug him to the doctor and demanded they do whatever tests they had right then, right dammit now. Because you see, this cancer moves fast, and hard, and the difference in a few days now seems like years before. That was only 6 weeks ago – so short – but so long. In the while I have seen him endure radiation treatments, blood clots, weight loss, fatigue – and he has not even had to face the chemotherapy yet. He cannot eat – he drinks his food. He was such a wildly vibrant personality before – never able to sit still; always he fidgeted and moved, and laughed and cut up and made noise – now quiet, reserved and and often brooding. He tries to keep the positive side; his sm

The HP's 2012 Concession Speech - and Message of Things To Come

My Fellow Americans – It has this day been shown that the American Peoples, when they are faced with a tough decision will make tough choices. And we have with that greatest of privileges been allowed to cast our singular voices in a chorus of unity in electing for the next 4 years a president by ballot. Like 2000 this one seems to shaping up to be a good old fashioned fucking over of the people one way or the other. It was an honor to be considered by many of you for your choice of Supreme Overlor—umm. President and I deeply moved by the support of those whose ballots were cast with hope for a less oppressive Iron fist of rule that I would have implemented. It is with the realization that maybe our campaign got started too late and was way underfunded, that I must now take the mantle of responsibility from my own shoulders and transforms it into the blanket of blame and try and find someone to pin this loss upon. Had I had a campaign manager, I would here and now publicly embarrass t
