The number of The Beast

Posted on by

Last night, I heard some troubling news. Meesh told me that Ricardo Montalban had passed away. I was devastated. He will always be the host of Fantasy Island to me, and I loved every single episode! I will also always remember him for the role of Khan in Star Trek. There was nothing quite like Khan in the original series and then when he reprised his role in the second Star Trek movie I was ecstatic! Nothing fills me with energy inside as the scene with Kirk yelling “Khaaaaaan!”

He will be missed.

In more sad news, I heard from Insomnic that Patrick McGoohan, star of acclaimed show, “The Prisoner” also passed away. I will always love his work as Number 6 in that show. He Really made the show work, and I loved it. This was a time when they Really made good tv shows. He will be missed as well. Video after the bump.

I have to admit that I’m probably more excited to see that Patrick Swayze is doing some work. Even with his cancer, he is still moving on and working and well, it’s Really an inspiration to me. I have to admit he does look a lot different than he has in the past, but he’s still one of my favorite actors and I’ll never waver as his fan. I still remember Road House.

 

What another new site?

So here I am starting something else new. A while ago, I decided that I didn’t Really like to put information about diabetes or my dialysis on my own site. I realize that it is my personal site, but it wasn’t Really personal. It was a place for me to have fun. At the same time, I came to the conclusion that people don’t Really know enough about the situation they were in. After all the hospital visits, I’ve heard too many people who, like me, had diabetes (or something similar) and just didn’t know what to do. It was like you’re lost and not sure where to go.

For some people, this is okay. They will do what they’re doctor tells them to do. But they will never know why! They will mindlessly do everything the doctor subscribes, and never question anything.

So what I want to accomplish here is some type of knowledge base, as well as my experience with dialysis and diabetes as well. Learning is the key to everything. Knowledge is power! Hopefully, this will also enable others to chime in and comment on their own experiences as well. I know I am not alone. If you are here reading this, know that you are not alone.
