ahaha thanks. i appreciate that. i think my staff appreciates it as well. i know that i'm going to beat this and so i just make jokes and keep positive around then and i think since they deal mostly with terminal cases and the elderly, they get a kick out of it. not to toot my own horn but apparently i charm the pants off of middle aged women, so they're always just like, "man, david, we love you so much, you're so funny." and i guess the way that i need to perceive that is that i am actually impacting their lives with my attitude - kind of the same way i try to do with my mom (who is a hospice nurse and deals with death every day) and that it actually does make a difference in their lives (in a much lesser capacity, however) as much as they are making a difference in mine. this made me laugh like 8 times. haha. i want to make a fake ebay listing with pictures of my MRI when it's gone with HODGKINS LYMPHOMA OOP. and see if people can pay me to celebrate that i'll live a probably normal life from here on out. dude, i can't wait to get back on track and back into the swing of knowing what releases are out and how much i appreciate vinyl, it's incredible how much the things you love become such a painful labor and a luxury like that of a living room that no one uses, currently my equipment and my records are just my "nice things" that i don't use. the last 10 records. fuck. i can't even remember. i bought the new Moz LP when it came out, I ordered the Blind to Faith LP with the free Integrity/AVM split in it and when I complained about the less than quality shipping job Dwid sent me an extra copy of the split on another color. I also bought the Adult Crash book for the 7" that came with it. I think that's it. That's not 10. I've really fallen apart. Thank you for the support though, man. It means a lot to have people pulling for me.

nin one says "with teeth" at the bottom, hard to see - i CAN NOT imagine that you don't have this, this was the nice $10 alternative to the million dollar screened one for the individual date. i apologise about the piss poor job i did taking a picture of the against me one, the folded parts are just white anyway, there is also an inch long diagonal tear in the bottom...right hand corner, all on the white part...fucking, magic mount.

bonus traded me a bunch of stuff for a rise and fall test press and never sent it. stopped responding to emails. said his ex girlfriend had it. said some stuff had gone down in his life, i sympathized. stopped responding to emails entirely. i think it'll have been two years in february. has anyone else had trouble with this dude, ever?

thanks yu. i always wish i could send you awesome stuff since it's such a hassle sometimes.

yes, actually. i bought them for nostalgia sake when i saw them, figuring maybe some day i would tailor them down a little bit, but it's been two years, so i guess i'm not going to ever get around to that. they've also never been washed.

all small, but currently falwell and some girls are gone. however, just updated prices, so you can get the police story wicked cheap.

this is a copy/pasted post my friend made and i'll make sure to update it when specific dates and his blog link when he gets that all in order, but so far here's the itinerary. just want to try and entice some interest in case anyone is down to get tattooed or hang out with some new friends.

alright, i've got some outstanding cancer bills that need to be paid. sad to see a lot of this stuff go, but i really can't afford to hold on to lots of things that i'm never using, that would probably find themselves worn more in new homes. here are the stipulations: paypal only. all are small unless otherwise noted. pm or post offers. no flakes. shipping will be something along the lines of this, unless things have drastically changed since the last time i went to the post office: 1 shirt = $2.50 2 shirts = $3.00 3 or more $5.00 1 hoodie = $5.00 2 hoodies = $7.50 will ship internationally, with vastly different shipping. real old, the inside has some ink stains from turning it inside out and wearing it to work. will sell cheap. american apparel First Terror shirt ever, pre-bridge 9, no other printing on shirt. only sold @ united blood 2007 american apparel american apparel back american apparel 1/1 - only shirt in this colorway to ever exist. YL slightly botched printing job. /100 for bamboozle 2007. XL american apparel american apparel M have two of these, small hardly noticeable printing errors

A+ i want to send him a fruit basket for that.

my friends will be out there tattooing soon, but i don't think that they'll be there til a few weeks after you'll be there.

Thanks for always being a really positive dude! I keep wanting to start my response with "Awesome!" but it's not really awesome and that would seem rude. However, it is so treatable and the best thing to do is be optimistic, feel free to share my blog with him if you don't think he would be offended by it - otherwise maybe just wish him the best of luck for me and recommend on my behalf that he start drinking Kombucha and any of those superfood/smoothies with spirulina in them (or spirulina caplets) especially on days when he has chemo - spirulina helps to combat the toxic side effects that the adriamycin (aka the red stuff, if you want to convey that point and have trouble with that word like i do) has on the heart without jeopardizing the effects it has on the cancer. and finally tell him to get some of these (http://www.newchapter.com/product-categories/lifeshield-mushrooms) and to take 2 a day, they will lessen the number of neupogen shots he will have to get and that will make him a really happy camper as they cause the most pain out of anything. ah yeah they are definitely super important and generally a good indicator of something being awry. sometimes they feel a little bigger than they usually are and it's nothing, but it is definitely something to get checked even if it doesn't seem like much - as it was stated somewhere, not sure if i mention it in my blog at all really can't remember, but i was misdiagnosed twice and spent about 6 months figuring out what was wrong all the while having this mass on my neck just continue to grow, and it all just started with something that felt a little bit too big. thanks!

so some good news that i forgot to post about 2 weeks ago. "to the best of my understand of my disease, after 4 cycles (8 treatments) the cancer is basically gone and remaining 2 cycles (4 treatments) are preventative. so essentially as of my last treatment (August 28th) i should be free of cancer and these last 4 treatments are to wipe out any possible residual cancer cells. i will be done with treatment october 23rd, and i will know if i it is all gone at the end of november. kind of feels weird. anyway. just wanted to share that because i had just remembered that today." I have treatment again this Friday, not really looking forward to it - seeing as the last one sort of wiped me out a little bit more than all of the other ones, but I had heard that 7 and 8 were the hardest and past those it was a breeze - so hopefully since this will be number 9 it'll be easy. I don't feel like I have cancer anymore at all. I am generally in a pretty good mood and feeling pretty good overall except that for the last two weeks I have completely lost the ability to fall asleep at night (I am a natural insomniac and have been out of ambien for about two weeks) and so that has kind of sucked. i can not explain how god damn happy i will be to be free of this when it is all over, how excited i am to get back to providence and be with my wife and return to normalcy and snow. the anticipation is starting to really set in and the butterflies in my stomach are coming out of their cocoons. never in my life did i ever think that things as simple as getting up and going to work every day, even if it's at some completely shitty job, would be the most appealing things in the world to me. the first day that i open my eyes and with some droning monotonous and infantile purpose i put my feet on the ground, rub my eyes, and begin a simple working class day rather than letting out a defeated sigh, flipping over my pillow, checking out what episode of spongebob is on tv and drifting back asleep to the myriad obnoxious nasally voices of the citizens of bikini bottom, to wake up anywhere from 2-7pm will be my greatest victory. anyway, could not have kept myself together so well through out this without the positive support of everyone. so thanks to everyone who left a positive comment or had a positive thought, sent me some positive energy, prayed for me, or whatever, if i had not had the great positive support of my family, my friends, and message board acquaintances this battle would have been a lot more difficult than it has been. i will be posting on my blog with regards to the zine sometime soon and i will make sure to bump this thread again when i do that in case anyone is still interested. i will also be selling a ton of stuff coming up this week. thanks again guys. i know i don't post as much as i used to, i've been trying to work on that - hopefully you guys understand that i had to force myself to kind of keep away from this board because there are so many posts about new records coming out and i don't have any income at all and i'd be tempted far too often to overdraft. it is killing me to not buy records, it's killing me that i've only bought about 10 records in the last 6 months! anyway, i'm going on and i need a nap, just thought i'd update you guys.

I wish that I was a little kid with cancer instead of an adult with cancer, I would literally probably die happy if any of my favorite players hit a home run for me. Wish I could get in touch with the right people to even get the gears turning in the right direction for that.

this is so awesome. there is a team that plays in providence under the providence greys moniker, want to do this so bad.

Apparently that tour poster is a hoax, much like the Converge/Doomriders one that was posted earlier this year. I don't know why people need to waste such time and effort to tease us in this way ??? I imagine jake would have taken into consideration that the year in words would be "Two Thousand Ten" and not "Two Thousand And Ten"

i want to test this and break in and steal puppies!
