Its A Run On Old Men Dying

-
It is now several years since the doctors diagnosed me with an incurable form of malignant cancer which affects the bone marrow, blood, and gradually reduces the effectiveness of one's immune system.
-
After getting their diagnosis I did a shit load of research on the disease. Then I flew over to England and got a second opinion from one of the world's top doctors who is specialized in this type of cancer. It is a type of leukemia, the same type which snuffed Ed Bradley (the really nice black guy on 60 Minutes).

It sort of changes your attitude towards life after you think about it a bit. One thing it does is makes you be very aware of other old men dying. It also makes you a lot hungrier to enjoy whatever time you do have left.

Lots of old men sure have been dying recently. I'd be happy as shit to live as old as any of these guys:
-
Ed Bradley
--Gerald Ford
----James Brown
------Augosto Pinochet
--------Saddam Hussein

This is a quote from Juan Espinosa:

Didn't 2006 end kind of weird? Reminds me of a setup for one of those Pearly Gate stories:
-
James Brown, Gerald Ford and Saddam Hussein arrive at St. Peter's Gate at exactly the same time.
-
In his haste to get to the front of the line, Saddam bumps into Ford and blurts out, "Pardon me!"
-
To which St. Peter quickly says, "No way, the last time he did that, we had to let Richard Nixon in."
