Wow, First Gary Coleman, and now Dennis Hopper. It’s a sad week for the entertainment world. Dennis Hopper was 72 when he passed away. Dennis Hopper had been suffering from Prostate Cancer, so his passing was to be expected, however his passing isn’t made any easier by this knowledge.

Dennis Hopper has been in MANY well-known classics including, but definitely not limited to, Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now. You’ll be missed Mister Hopper.

As many people are aware of by now, Actor Gary Coleman passed away May 28th, 2010. at 12:05 PM MTD. He was only 42 when he passed away from this world, which is VERY young!

Gary Coleman has had spots in many television and film, however he is probably most remembered for his role as Arnold Jackson in the late 70’s/early 80’s Television hit series Diff’rent Strokes, and his memorable catch phrase “What’chu talkin’ ’bout Willis?!”.

Now, I remember watching Diff’rent Strokes, in fact it was one of my favorite shows back in the day. However, I must confess that I was never a big Gary Coleman fan. That being said, I always admired the guy. He went through a whole lot of crap throughout his life. Much of that crap he dealt with at a VERY young age. However, despite it all, he still managed to carry on.

Rest in Peace Gary.

Well, i don’t know if you remember it, but awhile ago I mentioned a strange and mysterious lump on my back. Turns out that there is a very good possibility that it could be malignant. He said the fact that it has started hurting to the touch isn’t a good sign, and wants to now all of a sudden do some tests..which I am NOT particularly keen on….But, I shall do whatever needs doin’ I suppose.

Haven’t told my family this yet..because, quite honestly I don’t see the point in upsetting them at this point. At least not until I know more and can actually give some information when they ask…So, that has me scared as hell…I hate the idea of death.

On top of that I am facing my worst fear(Death is my second biggest fear), You see my girlfriend of 3 years left me awhile back. I’m not exactly sure why she feels the relationship has to come to an end..but combined with my newfound knowledge that I could very well be dying….I am pretty much living in my own version of hell…I have my two greatest fears just right there in my face.

On the upside..things can’t possibly get any worse…right?

Mystery Lump

Ever since my early teens I have had back trouble. It stems mainly I believe from when a lifted and carried a washing machine across my backyard on a dare. I hurt my back pretty bad, and even urinated some blood…It wasn’t pretty. However I still have the back pains, and so today I was rubbing my back, trying to work out the pain, or pop something back into place.

However while rubbing my back I felt a mysterious lump there. I don’t rub my back often, so not sure how long it has been there. I am however certain it’s not supposed to be there. This isn’t based on any medical knowledge…just one of those things you KNOW in your gut.

Not a clue what it is, but it has left me a wee bit worried. I definately intend on going to see a doctors about it, if I can remember to get an appointment, AND get someone to take me down to the docs office. Since I don’t drive, it makes things like appointments very difficult. On top of that, being in a small town like I am makes it also very difficult to get into see the doctor. There is also a good chance the doctor won’t know what it is, and just tell me it’s nothing to worry about.

I’m sure it isn’t a tumor….but it could be I suppose right? They can appear on your back right? Good chance it could just be some fatty deposit, and the odds of me having some kind of tumor are like…what? Astronomical? Even still, it’s not impossible..and the people who do end up having tumors have the same odds as I do. So, it definately can happen.

Just hope it isn’t a tumor…In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger.. “Eets not a TUMOR!!!! Ok?? EETS NOT A TUMOR!”…

Knock on wood.
