The End is Nigh!!

This has been THEE craziest year I think I have ever had.

It started off shitty, and it seems like it's going to end pretty shitty.

Don't get me wrong, this year had really good moments, but it's like a sandwich of emotions, bad then good then bad, haha.

This year started with Chris being in the hospital for a major heart rejection and my grandpa dying. 

My grandpa dying was, Melissa's favorite word, bittersweet, kinda.

It was sad to see my last grandparent die, but I was in no way sad that he did die.

He was a horrible man, who did horrible things.

He was never remorseful and never apologized or anything.

I'm just glad my mom got to watch him die, I feel like it was a poetic justice of sorts.

He killed her innocence and childhood, well ruined her life for that matter, and she got to see him take his last breathe.

He also died a miserable death on top of that.

He had some rare form of cancer that started as polyps on his lungs and slowly, and painfully, spread throughout his whole body.

His lungs were completely filled with polyps and he had huge tumors in his arms to where he couldn't move his arms. 

Actually, one of the tumors got so big his skin split and he got gangrene in it.

He ended up in the hospital for a few days in an induced coma where he finally died.

After that his seven children, my mom and her siblings, had to deal with all the shit he left behind.

He had no will, so my crazy ass aunts and uncle fought over everything.

Well the one crazy aunt, alcoholic uncle, and crackhead uncle.

So that was fun...

We also had to clean a 3 story house in San Francisco that was filled to the ceiling on every story with shit.

That is in no way an exaggeration.

It literally was completely full to the ceiling with stuff my grandpa, grandma, and aunt horded.

So after that, Chris was in the hospital with a major heart rejection, after having a seizure at my feet.

That was the first time I have ever been around someone who went into anything like that, so it kinda freaked me out.

On the heart rejection scale of 1, being ok, to 5 being you're dying, he was at a 4.

He ended up being ok after about a month or so.

So after that which was December/January, everything seemed to level out pretty much.

I was in my last semester at CCC about to graduate with honors and 2 degrees.

Chris and I did our thing and went on adventures and got into trouble like we always did.

My sister tagged along sometimes.

It was pretty fucking great.

I graduated in May and for my graduation present we went to Dada Life's rave.

It was my first real rave and it was fucking amazing.

It totally changed my life.

I have been to little raves, if that's what you can call it, but nothing to that magnitude of awesomeness.

Chris, Melissa, and I always talked about it and how it was the best time of our lives and when they come back to California we were going again no matter where it was.

Chris would always talk about it and how it was the best thing ever and it was the best thing to ever happen in his life.

We danced that night for 8 hours straight.

Chris danced even with his heart, and not being able to really be physical like that.

It's something that I never want to forget.

In June one of my cousins got married.

Long story short, Melissa and I got sat at the reject table alone, so I decided we were going to get shitfaced.
Well I decided I was going to get shitfaced and my brother and sister followed my lead haha.

Chris was in the wedding party, as he was asked last minute to be in it.

But at the reception he was with me and Melissa.

We got so fucking drunk!!

I don't really remember that night, well much of it.

That was another night I never want to forget...well at least the parts I remember anyway.

It started off lame and sucky, but in Chris, Melissa, and my fashion, we had the funnest time.

That was the first night ever that me and my siblings got that drunk together.

My 21st birthday Chris was a little tipsy, but he was on hella meds so he wasn't drunk drunk.

This night we were beyond shitfaced.

And to make it better, it was the first time my parents saw me drunk.

And then my whole family on my mom's side saw us drunk.

It just cemented in their heads how ratchet they think we are.

Oh fuckin well!

That night in the hotel apparently was hella funny, but I don't remember it.

After that was my birthday.

It was a surprise party and my brother took me to a drag show.

AH it was so amazing!!

I fucking love drag queens and he knows that, so he took me to go see some.

That's how he was.

If he knew you liked something or were into something he'd research it, or find more info for you on it, or get you it, or whatever he could do to make you have whatever it was.

Like when I wanted an AR15 and a Desert Eagle, he told me everything he knew about them and everything else about guns.

He would go on and on about them and what they does and how they fire and blah blah blah.

He then told me about other guns that'd be cool too.

He planned for us to go shooting when we both got the guns we wanted and all this other stuff.

I don't think I'm ever going to find anyone that's even going to come close to my brother.

Well I found someone who is kinda close, but nothing like how my brother was.

In July my brother went to the ER and we found out that he was in rejection again, and that his electrons in his heart weren't going through like it was supposed to.

They had to do an ablation, which basically means that took a laser and created a scar over his existing scar from his transplant in order for the electrons to go through his heart properly.

The phone call I got the day of the procedure was the worst one ever.

I was at the movies with my best friend for my birthday.

We were walking into the actual theater when my sister called frantic.

She told me that she got a call from the hospital saying we had to get there right away.

My friend and I refunded our tickets and I left to go get my family.

I just remember the whole time praying that he was going to be ok.

I just couldn't loose him right now and I needed him.

I even tried to bargain with God and told him to take me instead.

Lame I know.

We get to the hospital, and I saw my brother in ICU.

They just got him to the room and he was unconscious.

They herded us into a room where the doctor came in balling.

My heart sank as she told us that my brother died on the table and it took an hour to revive him.

She told us that right now they have no idea if he's going to make it and if he did if he'd be a vegetable or not, and that he was on full life support.

They had him in an induced coma and in hypothermia.

They kept him like that for a couple days and slowly heated his body up and took him off the coma meds.

Long story short, he was completely fine.

He came out of it with no problem, which was a total miracle and no one could believe it.
They even wrote a medical journal on him.

I slept in the hospital every day until he woke up.

After that I slept in his room with him when they moved him downstairs.

He couldn't sleep without me there, so I stayed.

He came home toward the end of July, and we went out for my best friend's birthday.

Chris decided he wanted to go out more and do more.

So we did.

About 2 weeks after he got out of the hospital, on August 2nd at 4am, Chris died.

He died while I was giving him CPR, and we were the only ones in the room.

I guess in retrospect it was a good way for him to go.

Just me and him fighting for him to live.

Like it always was.

It was always me and him against the world.

I made a promise before he died that when he died I'd dress up like Hulk Hogan and do the funeral talking and dressed like him, and Melissa had to dress like the Grim Reaper and stand over his casket not saying or doing anything.

You know we kept that promise.

There was no way we wouldn't.

As you know I whole heatedly do not believe in promises, unless you make damn sure to keep them.

It was one of the only promises I have ever made, and I went all out.

Though it was a really sad day, it was in total Chris fashion.

During that time I met this guy.

He's not really important in this story right now.

Well he is pretty important, but I'm keeping him a secret for now.
For Chris's birthday, Melissa and I went to San Diego for Dada Life.
As I said before Chris, Melissa, and I vowed to go to their rave the next time they came to California no matter where they were playing.
Melissa and I did just that and partied all fucking night for Chris.
We were famous that night.
Everyone wanted pictures with us and to dance with us.
We were 2 fat girls dancing non stop the whole night without a care in the world.
I had so many dudes dancing all up on me lol.
It was ridiculous.
And during Dada's set they played all of Chris's songs.
It was the most perfect night.
After that we fucked around San Diego and LA.
It was a 4 day trip and we had so much fun just the two of us for our brother.

The last few months since Chris has died hasn't been easy at all, but I keep going.

I don't stop for anything, as much as I wanted to, I know Chris would have been mad if I did.

It would've been so easy to say fuck it and give up on school, my jobs, my family and friends, on that guy, and on everything else, because honestly, without Chris nothing really matters to me anymore.
It's hard to explain, but nothing even tastes the same, nothing is as funny, everything lost it's meaning.

But I have to keep living and I have to reach my goals.

If I don't I'm letting Chris down.

So as much as tonight is going to suck without him, I'm going to make the best of it.

I'm going to go to the city and drink and watch the fireworks, because that's what my brother would've wanted to do.

This next year is going to be difficult without him, but I just am going to remind myself every time I want to give up that Chris would be pissed if I did.

He was my motivation.

He was my rock.

My everything.

But I just have to find a way to be without him.

I'm just thankful for the people in my life.

The one's that have stayed with me through my disappearing at times, drunken, angry, crazy, highly emotion self.

I want to thank Holly for being there every day through all my bullshit.

I have never had anyone like you that wasn't my siblings.

I love you and thank you.

I can't wait to hear about your sexcapades from tonight ;)

And to the asshole who is all the way across the country right now, thank you for staying with me even after I went crazy on you a couple times.

You are honestly the only reason I kept going even when I didn't want to.

I love you, you fucking shitface.

Fuck you and your chimney sweep!

So all this being said...

I'm looking forward for this next year and everything it's going to bring.

I'm pretty happy where I'm at right now, and who I have in my life.

So bring it on 2014!

I'm ready!!

Song of the Day

This song is so fucking good, and his voice is so fucking sexy!!
I have listened to this song every day since it came out haha.
You know I raped the repeat button!

Long Time

So this whole keeping a blog thing is pretty fucking hard to do when you have so much going on.

But I guess it's a good thing.

It means I have a life haha.

It just means that you guys have nothing to read.

Sorry.

Well let me give you a super long update smashed down into a small paragraph.

Thanksgiving sucked, like I knew it would.

It was the first holiday without my brother, so of course it was awkward.

No one really talked and my sister and I busted our ass cooking and cleaning and doing everything like we do every holiday.

It just isn't the same without Chris.

I'll save that rant for another post though.

I had an interview with Kaiser.

Got the job.

Yee!

I don't want to celebrate yet, because they haven't given me the official call, so I'm waiting to party lol.

I got sick this past week and found out there's something wrong with my liver and it could be pretty serious. 

I don't let on how serious it is to people because then it will freak them out, so I pretend I'm fine, but I feel like shit.

It takes so much to get out of bed and do anything, but I have no choice.

I have way too much to do to be sick.

Fuck being sick!

So that's happening...

Christmas was actually really good this year.

Like one of the best ever, which I completely feel guilty about,

It went pretty well.

As you may know, I'm the type of person that doesn't want presents or anything from anyone, but if people do get me anything I will love it even if its not something I'd like otherwise.

To me the fact someone went out of their way to get me something means so much more than the actual present.

I'm just grateful someone cared enough to think of me.

I just care about getting people presents and seeing their faces when they open it.

I get so excited when I give someone a present!

Anyways!!

Oh yeah, I haven't talked about it at all I don't think, but I have a gentleman friend.

I've been seeing him for a while.

He met my family on Christmas, which was weird, well not really, but it was.

I have never brought anyone home, or even told my parents about anyone I was seeing/fucking so it was kinda a big deal I brought him over for Christmas.

Well in my brain it was.

I think that's all that really happened.

Well all the main things anyway.

So yeah...there you go...

I hope you guys had amazing holidays, and party hard for New Year's!

You guys already know how I get down!!

I'm going to be ravin all night!
I hope you guys all start the year exactly how you want to start it!

Peace, Love, and Parties for all <3

And just because I hate leaving on a bad note...

How Amazing

Sooooooooooo......

I have been sick the past couple days.

Well I actually haven't been feeling well for about a month, but it has gotten worse the last couple days.

I fucking hate going to the doctors, so of course I didn't.

I already had 3 weeks of appointments for all the bullshit happening, so I didn't want to go for another thing.

So I had a phone appointment with my doctor to go over my MRI for my back.

As I was on the phone I told her about me being sick.

And how fun I get to have my first testing to see if my heart is failing. 

How amazing is life.

And like usual no one cares.

It's ok though, I've been handling my shit on my own always, and never expect anyone to be there.

Emo as fuck lol.

I just wish Chris was here is all.

I know that I'm going to be ok.

I can't have heart failure.

That's not going to happen to me or my family again.

Fuck that shit!!

As you know I have had to fight for everything I have and this is going to be no different.

I am not going to let it get to me.

Today I stayed home and threw up all day, but fuck that.

I'm going out tomorrow.

I just refuse to let anything else get in my way.

And if I die because I refuse to slow down, then I guess it was meant to be.

I just worked way too fucking hard to give up or let something stand in my way.

I just feel like the more bad news and bullshit I am given pushes me more to live life to the fullest and do all the things Chris and I had planned.

And I give no fucks what people think or say of me.

Calling me erratic is like calling the sky blue.

It always has been and always will be.

You know what they say about the quiet and crazy...

I've said it before and I will definitely say it again.

Masks and even face paint does things to me...

Gawddd!!

I fucking love them!

I won't say how I like to use them, but it's pretty obvious ;)

Jeffy is so fucking sexy with his painted face!

Here's a link to my past blog about how fucking sexy masks are :)

I'm a freak!

PS if you know who these two men are...I love you!

Ever wonder what my brain would look like in GIF form?

Here you go!



Song of the Day

I think the lyrics speak for themself <3

 

Breathing you in when I want you out.
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt.
Lying inside our quiet drama.
~
Wearing your heart like a stolen dream.
Opening skies with your broken keys.
No one can blind us any longer.
~
We'll run where lights won't chase us.
Hide where love can save us.
I will never let you go.



And The Hits Keep Coming...But I Stay Fighting!

So this past week I have had what seems like a million tests done.

I finally went to the doctor and handled shit.

I have been needing to go back for a couple years now because of my back stuff.

So I went back because of an allergic reaction to the HPV shot, which is great cause now my vagina will probably fall out of my body one day...

Anyway as I was there, since it was my first time seeing this doctor, she asked me my history.

I told her about my back, so she ordered an xray.

She asked about family history as well, obviously I told her about Chris, so she ordered an ultrasound on my heart just as precaution.

So I got a call I think Wednesday saying that my doctor would like to set up a phone appointment with me to go over my test results.

(She said if it was all good she'd send an email, if not a phone appt.)

So I knew it was my xray because I saw my blood work online and it was all good.

I already knew I had preexisting shit with my back, so I figured it was just to talk about that.

Apparently I have an "impressive" amount of fractures in my spine.

She said she was astounded at how many there are.

I have to now get an MRI and go to the spinal clinic to see what the next steps are, ie surgery, injections, etc.

That somewhat freaked me out because anything with anesthesia kinda worries me because of Chris.

I just brushed it off and try not to think about it until whenever I have to deal with it.

 

Today she forwarded me the results of the ultrasound.

She told me that almost everything was normal.

Everything except I have tricuspid regurgitation, which basically is my tricuspid valve doesn't close all the way which is making the blood inside my heart flow backwards.

I now have to keep an eye out for developing heart failure symptoms.

This freaked me out, obviously.

I don't think I would normally be too worried about it, but I just lost my brother because of his heart.

Basically I have similar heart problems in the aspect of I could go into heart failure because of this condition.

I could end up how Chris ended up, and that scares me honestly.

On the other side, nothing could happen and I can go on living a long life until I get old die however I die.

I kind of don't really know how to feel.

All I know is that I am going to keep living like Chris did, and wanted us to.

I try to make the best out of everything no matter how hard it is.

I am overall pretty happy with what I have and who I have.

Everything else can fuck off.

I'm just trying to live a life worth living.

Hella cliche but I don't care!

When I'm old I am going to look back on everything I have done and experienced, and remember how amazing my life was and how many opportunities I got.

No matter what happens, if I die tomorrow or 80 years from now, I have no regrets.

I am not ashamed of what I have gone through and where I am today.

I am proud of my accomplishments and what I have made out of nothing.

I have lost a lot and gained a lot, and I wouldn't ask for a different life.

With everything I have been through, I have gotten through it all fighting my ass off.

I am stronger than most people and can handle anything anyone can throw at me.

God has a plan, and whether you believe in him or not, He will do what is planned.

I love Him and am grateful for the life I was allowed to have, good and bad.

Thank you God for everything you have given me.

I love you and whenever you decide to take me I am ready to go.

Ay Caramba

Where do I even start...

Ever since Chris died my life has gone on a crazy roller coster ride of craziness.

No fucking joke.

Like good and bad.

My life really did change forever when I lost him.

I am trying to take care of myself more like he wanted.

I'm trying to get my shit together and be successful to make him proud.

Honestly the only reason why I have forced myself to do anything this past month was because I know he'd be mad I didn't.

It's been hard but I kept myself going.

Well, I had some help from someone <3

For the most part I have been alone though, and that's what's the hardest.

I was so used to Chris being with me all the time and I loved it.

He was the only person who truly understood me completely.

He understood excatly why I was anxious, mad, sad, upset, happy, crazy, etc.

He was there for me no matter what.

He supported me in what I wanted to do nd even though he made fun of it, he believed in me.

He was the only one in my life that cared about me uncondtionally.

I lost the only person who I felt really was there, and it really fucking sucks.

I could've lost anyone else and probably would have made it easier, but I lost the most important person in my life.

The one that kept me going, and that was my rock.

Now I'm just a big fat blob wobbling around life. Haha.

I got this though!!

I am going to make it and I am going to be fine.

I have mostly good days, but then there's the days I think about what Chris is going to miss.

I think about all the things we had planned, and everything we talked about doing.

I just can't believe he isn't going to be here anymore.

Blah.

I didn't mean to go on a stupid rant :/

Ok enough of this sad shit!

UNICORNS SHITTING RAINBOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!



Song of the Day

So everyone knows how muc hI am in love with Dada Life.

They came out with a new remix.

I have it on fucking repeat!!!!!
It makes me want to shake my ass every time I hear it.



Song of the Day

I have had this on repeat for the past couple days.

I fucking love it!!

I'm excited for this album.

RIP Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan

This song is fucking sexy though...



Yup...



Moving.....somewhere....(VENTING)

Today was kind of a hard day.

Most days are good and I can get through them pretty well, but other straight fucking suck.

I really fucking miss my brother.

The pain I feel from him not being is here is completely indescribable.

I can't even describe how much my brother meant to me.

He was the last good example of a man I had.

Him and my grandpa were my everything, and they are both gone.

I feel so alone now.

Chris was with me all the time.

Like literally all the time.

After class or work I'd be with him.

On top of that he'd text me while I was in class or work.

This summer we were always together because we took classes together, and I wasn't working.

Every morning I'd go into his room and tell him the crazy dream I had.

He would always make fun of how I told him cause I would make sure to say every detail.

I would always lay in his new bed we got him and fall asleep.

We would take naps together.

He always had my back.

Even when we stopped talking for 5 years.

I just found out recently that it really hurt him that we didn't talk.

I always thought he didn't care the whole time, but it hurt him as much as it hurt me.

We never got to talk about that time, but at least we started talking again.

I think the thing that hurts most of all is that he came back two weeks before he died and then was ripped out of my life again in the worst way.

I just don't understand.

That night plays over and over in my mind.

His last breath plays over and over, and I can't help to think that maybe if I did something better or different he'd still be alive.

I know what's done is done, and what God planned happened.

It's just so hard to have to see his face every time I go to sleep.

That moment he took his last breath and his eyes rolled back.....

That's what's killing me.

The past couple nights have been the only time I haven't thought about it.

I'm so thankful that person is in my life.

I just don't feel like it's fair for them to want to be here right now when my brain is completely fucked.

They make me happy though, and I haven't felt this way in a really long time.

I think the only reason why I haven't gone crazy is because of them.

I honestly don't care about what anyone thinks of it either, because those same people keep bringing me down.

Don't fucking say how you're worried about me, but in the same breath fucking telling me to not laugh or joke around.

Pick one...me happy or me sad...

You don't get both...

Through all this I will be fine.

I have gotten through so much before and I will continue to do it until I die.

I will die fighting.

That's just who I am...

Me going out and having a good time with people isn't what should set off alarms.

If these people really fucking knew me they'd know my MO is to stay in my room and not talk to anyone.

I'm pretty sure me...ME!! being social is a good thing....

 

From one of my favorite movies.

It makes me laugh every time :)

 

Good Day and Emo Bullshit

Soooo...

Today was my brother's memorial service.

It was kind of hard during the actual service.

Well, not hard but I'm not sure of the right word.

There were tears shed, and memories shared.

After the service we had a barbecue.

It was pretty fun.

I mean under the circumstances, every one seemed to enjoy themselves.

I definitely was smiling.

I enjoyed all the people who came out in support for me and my family.

It was the last goodbye to Chris, and it ended on a happy note.

After the past two weeks of planning the viewing and memorial service, I reeeeeally need a day or two to myself.

I have been so drained by everything that I just need to do me.

Blah!

Tomorrow I shall get into some trouble and find some fun ;)

There is always going to be a void in my soul from where my brother was, but I refuse to break down and be in a slump.

I am going to find happiness and love.

I am going to live my life to the fullest.

I am going to make Chris proud!

Tough Mudder?

I think I have held up pretty well the past couple weeks.

I mean it's been hard as fuck, but I think I've been pretty strong.

Most of the time I can keep busy with planning his funeral/BBQ, and talking to...people...heh heh

Sometimes it hits me though, and I just think about what he's going to miss.

He's not going to get to see Melissa or I get married or have kids.

He's never going to get married or have kids.

Things like that pass through my mind and it makes me really sad.

I only have my sisters now, but I don't really get to see them that much.

I saw Chris all the time no matter what.

I know I've said it before, but fuck he was a huge part of me.

He really took most of who I am with him when he died.

I just feel so lost without him.

I'm so grateful for the people that have been in my life, especially recently.

I'm pretty sure if I didn't have them to take my mind off Chris and to keep be busy it'd be all bad.

I mean I wouldn't go back to how I was before, but I might have lost it without these people.

Saturday is his memorial, and we are having a barbecue like he always wanted.

I'm kind of sad because it's the last and final goodbye.

Like Saturday I feel like it's going to get real.

This whole fucking thing is so surreal.

It still feels like he's in the hospital.

Fuck.

I just want to lay in his bed and talk about hos like we used to.

I'm really fucking sad, but I am trying to keep a smile cause everyone else has seem to have moved on.

I'm still stuck with the fact I had to watch him die.

I still see his face when I close my eyes.

The memory of that night is stuck in my brain and is stuck on repeat.

I catch myself thinking of what I could've done different.

I feel like I could've saved him somehow.

I know there was no way he would've made it, but I can't let myself relax.

I fucking hate my brain sometimes.

That overthinking motherfucker.

Trying to leave this post on a good note.

Tomorrow night we are going to Mallards to "pregame" his memorial, and to have one last shot/drink for Chris.

I miss you more than anything and my heart hurts every time I think about you.

You made me feel the worst thing I have ever had to feel.

I know you're in a better place and I hope to see you soon.

I love you so much big brother!!



The Hardest Week of My Life...

So I know that my last post was about how my brother woke up from a coma and being on life support.

He came home about a couple weeks ago and he seemed completely fine.

Well on July 2, 2013 at 4:45am my brother died.

This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with.

My brother and I spent all day and all night together and he was my soulmate.

We were, as a lot of people put it, two peas in a pod.

I guess I should start by telling you what happened.

It was about 4am when me and Chris decided to go to bed.

He layed down and was complaining he was hot and wasn't feeling well.

I was talking to him a little bit about my sister's surprise party that we had planned for the 4th, her actual birthday is Aug. 5th.

I went to lay down and we talked through the walls like we do every night.

He said he didn't feel well and I asked if he was alright.

He then made a snoring noise.

I thought he was faking sleeping, but realized he wasn't.

I went into his room and found him on the floor.

His body was contorted and he was making a weird breathing noise.

I immediately got my parents.

I wasn't sure what was happening and I told my parents to call 911 as my phone wasn't working and I couldn't find Chris's.

I noticed Chris closing his mouth, so I went to open it and he woke up.

He asked what happened and we said we didn't know, so he replied, "oh, I guess we should go to the hospital then..."

Right after that he went back into this episode of whatever was happening.

I yelled at my parents to call 911 again and again.

My dad was getting dressed because I guess he was just going to drive my brother.

My mom had to run into her room to get her phone to call.

We thought my dad was doing it...

She called and that's when they had me start CPR.

As I was doing CPR his lips turned blue and his eye rolled back into his head, and the things that happened after you die happened (I'm not getting into that).

I did CPR until the sheriff arrived and told me to stop.

He told me to stop and then the firemen cam in and hooked my brother up to the heart monitor.

While all this was going on my parents left the room.

I was alone with my brother doing the CPR, and watched him die alone.

I was alone until they took my brother outside to the stretcher on the lawn and continued CPR.

I found my parents outside and I told them that they couldn't find a pulse inside.

They then moved him to the ambulance where they continued CPR.

After a while they drove to the hospital...no sirens...

I wanted to believe whole heatedly that he would come back like he did not even a month ago.

We got to the hospital and they brought my family (mom, dad, sister, and I) into the chapel where the doctor came in and told us he was dead.

He was DOA, dead on arrival.

My heart right then and there shattered into a million pieces.

I don't know how to describe it, but this feeling, or lack there of, is horrible.

I feel like it was my fault.

Like I didn't do enough, or I didn't do CPR right.

Maybe if we called 911 faster he would be here.

I should've went to find a phone.

I haven't left my brother's side, but now I have to let him go, but I can't.

He was the first person I saw when I woke up and the last when I went to sleep.

Saying we were close is an understatement and calling us soulmates is probably the only way I can describe our bond.

I have no idea how to go no without him.

We had so many plans and wanted to do so many things.

I still haven't come to grips with him being gone.

It feels like he's still in the hospital, like all the times before.

Even at his viewing on Friday.

I saw his body in the casket and touched him and said goodbye, but I still can't comprehend that he's gone.

We did his viewing exactly how he made me and my sister promise to.

I was Hulk Hogan and my sister was the Grim Reaper.

I haven't really slept since he died because all I see when I close my eye is his last breath.

His memorial service is this coming Saturday and we are going to do it big again.

I mean with all this being said I don't have anything to say.

People keep asking how I'm doing, and I don't know how to say "well I'm fucking lost after watching my brother die as I was trying to save his life..."

He was my big brother, best friend, wingman, soulmate, partner in crime.

I lost everything when I lost him.

I honestly don't know how long or when I even can start to pick up the pieces.

I do promise to do everything I do for him.

I am going to make him proud of me.

I love you so much Boobala and it hurts so much that you are gone.

Rest in Peace big brother

Song of the Day

To my boo.

Cause I wanna climb you ;)



Update on My Bother

I haven't updated anyone on my brother.

He's is awake and pretty much back to his old self.

There is no way to explain how he recovered.

No one in the hospital can explain it.

He was supposed to die.

They gave us 2 days, and told us to start making funeral arrangements.

He went from being on full life support to nothing in less than a week.

This is truly a miracle.

The chances he would make it were slim to none, and he's beat the odds.

I want to thank every one who supported me and my family through this.

So many of my friends showed their concern and wanted updates every day.

My phone was getting blown up by people I don't even talk to anymore.

I am so thankful for the people in my life.

A few of my friends even came to visit him in the hospital.

I am happy to know I finally have friends that are really down.

I don't have those fake ass friends that were only my friend out of convenience.

This whole thing has shown me what God can do.

I love Him so much, and am completely thankful that He saved my brother.

I love you all, and thank you for the love and support.



Update from the Waiting Room

I just snuck in to my brother's room to say goodnight.

His blood pressure is up from what is was earlier.

It's still really low, but it's some kind of improvement.

Well, to me at least.

So I guess I will be blogging throughout tonight because there isn't much else to do.

At least we have a waiting room all to ourselves.

Me and Melissa made a mini hotel room lol.

We got our "kitchen" on one side, our "beds" on  the other, and the "office" and "living room" on another.

Yeah we took over this shit cause we thuggin it out for my brother.

And there's another family in the other waiting room across the hall lol.

They some thugs too...like literally, haha

Anyway, we are trying to just chill out and be here for him.

 

Thatfatchick's Brother: Blogging from the Wating Room (Long Ass Blog)

Soooo....

Where do I even begin...

Last Wednesday night (July 3) my brother went to the emergency room because he had a really bad cough and he was feeling like he felt before when he went through heart rejection.

I guess I should start from the beginning, since I have never talked about this.

My brother had congestive heart failure in 2009, and had a heart transplant because of it.

He died a few times and went through so much while recovering from the surgery.

In July 2012, he had an aortic bypass, which was then replacing his aorta with an artificial artery, which was 12 inches long.

His body is covered in scares from these surgeries and his monthly biopsies he undergoes to make sure he isn't rejecting his heart.

In December, my brother had a severe rejection.

On the scale they have for rejection, he was at 4 out of 5.

After about a month he was doing better.

He had a minor rejection a couple months ago, but it was a 2.

So back to the cough.

The cough was a result of an atrial flutter, which is basically his heart beat was irregular.

He has had this before and it has gone away, but this time is was bad enough that they wanted to do an ablation.

This procedure is pretty complicated to explain.

Basically they were using a laser to create a scar perpendicular to his scar from the transplant.

This corrects the flutter.

During the procedure (yesterday) my brother's heart stopped.

They tried to resuscitate him for an hour.

He is currently on life support and it is unknown right now if he will make it.

Tomorrow we are going to find out if he is brain dead or not, and if will wake up.

There's a huge chance he will die.

Although my family is trying to think positive and stay string, it is so hard for us to even begin to imagine what might happen.

There's nothing that can describe seeing your brother with tubes every where in his body, wires monitoring his heart, and machines keeping him alive.

Machines are the only thing that are keeping him alive right now and that is crazy to think about.

They put his body in hypothermia for 24 hours, and started warming his body up at 2 this afternoon.

Tomorrow some time they will stop the medication for the induced coma and see what he does.

Basically he will either wake up or not.

So, if you are reading this, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you.

Ayi

I am so in love with life!

I love where I'm at.

I love who I'm with.

I love the people in my life.

I love what I have.

I love the changes I have made to my life.

I love where I'm going.

Sorry to brag once again, but I just am so happy with everything.

This is why I believe that no matter what bullshit you go through, keep looking forward because if you can get through it unscathed it will be amazing after it's over.

Idk if that made sense, but yeeeeah.

Just keep your head up no matter what!

I hope all is well with you guys.



Back at it...maybe...

So I am going to try and post on here again.

I kind of want to start doing videos because it would be easier than explaining my day.

I've always wanted to do vlogs ever since I watched Shay and Charles start theirs.

Yeah...its been awhile lol.

Anyways, maybe I will start doing it with my brother and sister.

Everyone always tells us how we need our own show or something anyway.

Who knows, maybe we can actually do something productive with our stupidity.

Anyways...this summer I am going to try and blog as much as I can.

I can't make any promises when I start CSUEB cause Ima be commuting and working and moving and a bunch of other shit.

Soooooooo....

Keep tuned in for my not so fascinating life...

You may have heard of a ROFLcopter, but have you seen a dickcopter?!

So my mom and I were having a conversation and I forgot why, but I brought up dickcopters.

Now if you don't know what one is, like my mom, its pretty amazing.

I showed my mom and her reaction was hilarious.

Anyways, I thought I'd post what one is for you guys...well girls...and some guys I guess lol :P

If you haven't realized by now, it has everything to do with a penis and spinning it like a helicopter propeller.

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!

 



Song of the Day

I love them so much!!!

I always say this, but I can listen to them in any mood I'm in.

They make me happy no matter what :)

I can listen to any of their songs and it just picks me up and takes me away.

Song of the Day

I haven't posted one of these in forever!

SO here you go...

As much as I hate loving this song, I do...and I can't stop listening to it!

Daft Punk kinda sold out, and I have my qualms about this being their song, but fuck it!

I love it!

I am so happy to be done with Contra Costa College.

Goodbye ratchet Richmond, and hello (less) ratchet Hayward :)

I am so excited for this coming year.

New everything!

There are no words to describe this feeling.

I am living proof that if you persevere through all the bullshit, you can find a happy ending.

Corny as that sounds, it's true.

And I'm doin it fo the ratchets!!

Hahaha!

I am thankful to those who say through all my whiny ass rants and venting on here.

Those who sent emails and stuff, thank you.

This blog has really helped me get through some shit, and helped me work out some things.

I know I am rarely posting anything anymore, but that's a good thing I think.

I don't have time these days because my life has gotten so crazy busy.

I love it and I'm excited to see what's going to happen ^__^

I don't really drink anymore, but here's to a fresh start, new people, new goals, new places, new everything!
