the last few days have not been very good ones. monday night i was deathly sick and vomiting most of the night. i had some awesome cajun food that tasted great but my stomach hated. i woke up to bad news on tuesday morning. they removed the life support from my grandmother and she passed away. it was her whishes to not be hooked up to machines for very long. it is very hard to see her go, but it was harder to see her in that condition. the doctors did everything they could possibly do for her. i guess it was just an atypical pneumonia that they couldn't cure. i will miss my granny. she was like a second mother to me. i'll always remember the times when i would sit on the arm of her recliner and she would scratch my back. when i was younger i would spend most of the summer at their house when i worked at the restaurant and was dating megan. she would always have my laundry fresh and clean for me. i'll miss the jello salad that she used to make. it was one of the best deserts.... there are so many other good memories that i have. i just hope she is in a better place now.

anyway, the visitiation will be tomorrow afternoon and funeral around 2pm.

its me again. sippin' on some coffee, trying to wake up. this halloween weekend was fairly interesting. in keeping with tradition we watched as many horror movies as we could. i got the original frankenstein film from 1931. it is such a classic. we also watched steven king's maximum overdrive. one of my all-time favorites. last night after the trick-or-treaters left, we went downtown and watched the re-enactment of the michael jackson thriller video in the streets of lexington. it was very cool for lexington to do something like that.

the other night i was bored and browsing one of my favorite websites, deviantart.com. i can spend hours just getting lost in that site looking at the millions of photos and art. i decided to setup my own profile and share some of my work with others. i have been doing this blog for over a year now and it is good for writing and expressing feelings, but it does have limitations. i invite everyone to check out my deviantart site here - shagmasterzero.deviantart.com

on another note, my granny is still in the hospital. she is showing minor improvements. please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers...
