They Are People Too!

This one isn't my usual wise cracking self. A dear friend and I were discussing issues of weight with people, and how often they are looked at like a zoo oddity. There is NOTHING really funny about it..., at least no more than with us so called normal weighted people ( I lost a a little more weight, down to 199 pounds by the way Daveman needs a new pair of pants now! YAY! ME ).

MISS KITTY - HOPE YOUR MORNING IS GOOD!!!

Some of you may recall the morbidly obese lady of whom I came to her defense when these two couples felt it their duty to approach this girl who was minding her own business and berate her. "You F*ing pig! Cow! Whale!..."..,and the lady was i tears - which made these two men and women all the happier and more determined to destroy any self esteem she could have left. This event took place when i was like 17 or 18 I think.

Anyone who finds that kind of behavior funny can not be a friend of mine. I make fat jokes once in a while, but I try to keep it light, and NEVER directed it at anyone for the sake of torment or debasement at all. Still sometimes I wonder if thats even right to do.I personally feel we should be able to JOKE about our imperfections and or differences - but never as a direct means to deliberately insult a human being. Understand the difference?

I didn't think twice. The woman was in tears, and these IDIOTS were the source of her distress and it had to stop. I went over stood up to the idiots - the guys acted like they wanted to fight me over the whole matter as if it was their right to do what they done. I have my ways of getting them to see the reality that I was mad enough it would have taken five more if they wanted to take me down over it.

They left, calling me names like, Hog lover! and so on. You know how that class of people are. Didn't phase me at all. So I sit down on the bench with this woman tried to calm her down...,

"Those guys were the real freaks, miss. You are a wonderful human being. You have more class than any of those hooligans will even have in their lifetimes. Look at me.., (and she looks).., I think you are a great person. Who are you going to listen to? People who have no decency or me? Who's words or opinions of you matters more?"

In about 10 minutes I had her laughing at jokes I made about the freaks who tormented her. I was proud she shirked it off so quickly. So we parted ways, knowing she felt better.

As you may or may not recall the following day on the campus - I saw a girl I had my eye on for a while, and wanted to go talk to her.. and so I did. While I was talking to her, out of the blue came this LARGE TORPEDO who knocked this girl several feet - she was okay except for some scrapes and massive confusion. What happened was, the overweight woman had built up speed and threw her body weight into the girl. "STAY THE #ELL AWAY FROM MY MAN!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Talk about miscommunication. She assumed from my trying to restore her dignity, she and I were an item. Even so, there are ways of handling situations like that. She should have talked to me and saved herself embarrassment and heart break not to mention the dusting the innocent party got. Needless to say, the then, object of my affections wanted nothing to do with me, feeling she had been duly served a serious hostile restraining order.

Question: How would YOU try to help someone like that - in obvious distress, you try to help them retrieve a level of dignity, and you do not want to give them the wrong impression? Did I do wrong somewhere along the line? Say the wrong thing? I know I never told her at any point I was in love with her - so what did I do wrong from your point of view?

MISS KITTY FEEL FREE TO OFFER YOUR TWO CENTS WORTH

I cant say that I would just LET some dolts torment anyone like that again - so really for future reference, what would you say I did wrong? As for me - I think if it happens again - do the rescue - but leave ASAP to avoid misunderstandings. There is NO WAY on this earth I could sit idly by and watch someone being verbally assaulted like that. The same goes for physical assults as well.

AND I CARE ABOUT YOU - BIG TIME, MISS KITTY

I do care about people - but the dumb @$$es.., not so much.

Daveman Emergency Broadcast

The Mojo is loose! Beware - if you find it, do not approach! So not shoot it because you'll just get him mad. And never, ever dart it because that makes him all freaky. Just whistle, call or scream for Daveman. I will handle it.
MISS KITTY - YOU ARE THE ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO CAN TAME MOJO
There is only one other person qualified to tame my loose Mojo, but since that person is not present, you'll just have to call me.
HOPEFULLY MOJO WILL COME HOME ON HIS OWN...,
If the Mojo wanders close and bares its fangs - do not panic - thats just the way it smiles. Its almost adorable .., okay.., its really not but do not tell Mojo that. Its very sensitive. I have to have Mojo back because without Mojo as motivation, no new blog entries will be forth coming. Forthwith and fifth-with, too.
MOJO LOVES YOU SO THATS A START.
This concludes the Daveman Emergency Broadcast; Have a good morning. But if you accidentally tick off poor Mojo..., never mind.

The Best Dern Blog Entry In The World

HAH! This is funny. So histerical its beyond belief. I'm empty handed. Not a clue what to write about. Well.., I have something, but want to save it for later. So while I am empty handed for the time being I want to shout out at my homeys what haunt this establishment.
HI DARLIN - HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER.....
Howdy homeys! Wow. Now that I did that, what do I do? OH! I KNOW! Stand here and look cool! YEAH! I CAN DO THAT! I can do that real good! But since you didnt see it - there was no real magic in that now was it!? Not much anyway.
THINKING ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME - AND HEY! I SEEN YOU SMILE! :-)
So - well - Yeah, I got nothin'. As you were. This accident is over, no rubbernecking to see the carnage, thank you very much.

General Report

I went to the doctor's office because I felt I was about to pass out and couldn't breath. It was either that or go to the ER.., and I wanted to avoid that if I could. So the quack's office it was.

I AM THINKING ABOUT SOMEBODY SPECIAL - A WONDERFUL SPECIAL LADY

So they checked my pulse, listened to my breathing and told me nothing appears to be out of sorts. The prognoses was - that I was experiencing a reaction to the muscle relaxer I was on OR panic/anxiety attacks. I have them and have lived with them for years - but didn't feel like the attacks I was familiar with. bet ya didn't know that huh? Might have suspected it though eh? Fun stuff that. Not.

I AM THE HAPPIEST MAN IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW - ABOUT SOMEONE

Anyway - the theory presented to me is that the muscle relaxer made my lungs FEEL as though I was not breathing well AND may have made me hyperventilate OR the feeling of not breathing right may have triggered an anxiety attack. Whatever. So they took me off the muscle relaxer and handed me some anti-anxiety medication WHICH I do not feel comfortable taking. Most of those things are addictive no matter what they tell you. I know this from experience and had taken myself off of them after I had a bad reaction and have not touched them till today

So I humor them and take the medicine to see if it will improve the situation. So far symptoms have eased up some, but not gone. I'll give it a day or two and see what happens. If it doesn't change - I'll see another doctor who actually knows what he is doing.

But even so - this afternoon has been a great day. .. wait..., its after midnight so technically YESTERDAY afternoon was a really great time for me. The best ever in a long long long long long - time. Yeah! Happier than any time I can recall. What happened? Life. Life happened. Life happened for me. While life can hand you some bad apples once in a while, this time it was good. Life happened and it is good. Yeah baby! Now dats what I am tawkin about!

I ENJOYED SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH A SPECIAL SOMEONE - YEAH, BABY

Okay I wanted to write more - but need to lay down. My upper spine is going numb. LOL - BUT I'm not complaining here, because the good I got outweighs the inconveniences I might otherwise face. So now, sandman land awaits and in my dreams, a paradise.
I AM DREAMING OF A SPECIAL SOMEONE - DAY AND NIGHT

And Another Crazy Daveman Day

Geesh. I just cant get a break. I'm resisting seeing the doc on this one - but still - its annoying as heck when you feel like you are about to pass out at any given moment. May have to see the doc if it gets any worse and I actually do pass out.
MISS KITTY - DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY YA, BUT WANTED YOU TO KNOW.
I took a walk thinking it would help clear my head, but no go. I sure didn't want to go lay down, but cheese-whiz, I guess I have to cave in and see if that helps. Cant focus on a GOOD Blog entry right now or when.
ALWAYS THINKING BOUT YA.
I'm just a tad worried they will stick my butt in the hospital if I go see a doc. Kind of like - intuition type thing. Yeah - its true my intuition sometimes lets me down.., and in the case of no hospital - I'd go see the doc. But I ain't gunna.

The hospital down here is like a 1970's era hospital. Let me clarify that. Its a NEW hospital with the look of a primitive 1970's hospitals and the care they give is about the same. If I was filthy rich, I'd just hire a private nurse and forget the horspital. Gyah.
HOPE YOUR DAY WAS A GREAT ONE.
Anywho - if I drop off the face of the earth - you can figure they either slapped me in the hospital or I freaking croaked - the latter would greatly simplify things. Don't mind me - I'm talking out of my head. But then - its much better for me to talk out of my head than from out of my butt..., which would really be ..,. hey! Now there's a marketing concept! Talking Butts.
