A good friend of mine is in the hospital and is on life support after a guy he knew for years waited for him to leave his building and then ran him over with his truck! He tried to kill him….and he may succeed. Bail has been set at $1,000,000 right now. Good gawd. I’m telling you 2009 has been an awful year. If Roland doesn’t make it, this will be the 3rd person close to me this year who has died. Seriously, why is life this way sometimes?

No one deserves to be run over with a truck! No one. I don’t care what the reason for doing it is. Good gawd!!!

Anyway….

We’re finding out once again that America’s CIA has the our enemies on the payroll. Isn’t that great? I don’t believe for a second that the CIA & Karzai’s brother joined forces recently. He’s been on the goddamn payroll for years now! Gees. Liars! Osama bin Laden was on the CIA’s payroll too at one time and when Osama got ill in the summer of 2001 (a couple months before 9/11/01), guess who showed up to his side at the Dubai hospital? Oh that’s right! A CIA agent. If you believe Osama bin Laden is alive, you’re a schmuck. He’s been dead for years and all those “Osama audios” we got the pleasure of listening to were all CIA created just to dupe ya….you stupid American!

I still believe al-Qaida is on Dick Cheney & Donald Rumsfeld’s payroll. Anyone want to dispute this? Let’s not forget it was Ronald Reagan who had the Taliban as guests in his White House back in the 1980’s…

And it appears we’re still in the drug business! Thank you CIA and American conservatives! Spit.

What’s on your mind today?

Thanks guys! We’re reeling here. I talked with his brother this morning. Roland is in very bad shape. He’s literally mangled on his right side plus he has internal injuries and is on life support. If he pulls through, he will have a long road ahead of him. No one believes the charges this woman made against him. I dated Roland for a few years and even with alcohol in him he never once raised a finger at me. Word. It’s not who he is. He’s a bodybuilder (and can be loud & obnoxious when drinking!) and people take him wrong all the time. I can’t remember how many times we’d be in a bar and he’d look at a woman (just look at her!) and the boyfriend/husband would want to fight him. It’s not fair. As big as Roland is, he doesn’t want to fight anyone. He just wanted to win bodybuilding competitions! Gees.

We’re all so worried right now. He’s a good man at his core and he did NOT deserve having this happen to him at all. It’s so obscene what Antone has done! His wife should be charged too if Roland doesn’t pull through because she is the one who got her husband all riled up in the first place! All I’m going to say….the Portland Italians are not happy at the moment. LOL I wouldn’t want to be Tim Antone at the moment either! I would be scared to leave jail at this point.

Thanks Jim. Just got another update from Roland’s brother this morning. Roland is still in a coma and is on life support. His status hasn’t changed. This whole thing is obscene. I can’t believe it’s happening. Pinch me! I would bet my life the reason why Roland left his apartment that morning when Antone called him from the parking lot is because Roland thought they could talk it out once again. Roland is not violent. He looks that way being a bodybuilder, but he’s a truly the type of person who wants resolve in his life and he trusted Antone with one more chance to talk that morning and that effing bastard tried to kill him by hitting the gas and running him over! Gawd. My faith in humanity is lost today. I hope Roland pulls through. He’ll never be the same, though. That is the tragedy in all of this. I’m hoping to get in there today to see him. I’ll be calling the hospital to see if he’s allowed non-family members in yet. We all love him so much! He did not deserve this. At all.

Roland’s life can now be measured in hours & minutes. I’m at peace with this. I loved the man for a long time even though we hadn’t dated for years. He was my soul-mate in lots of ways and always was a friend. I got the chance yesterday to be at his bedside to tell him how much I loved him and how my son did too.

Today I’m going to walk the beach with a couple of my friends. Very much needed right now. Being near the ocean is very healing.

I am hoping Roland pulls through this. When my family was called together three weeks ago and bluntly told by a doctor that my only brother might not make it through the night, it was like getting hit by a rock, so I can empathize. However, my brother was always athletic and I think being in good shape has helped him pull through. All of the Christians in the family are saying it was their prayers that are healing him. Should I feel guilt because I never pray to any sky god?

I just saw my brother today and he is much better than when I saw him last Tuesday. He is cooperating with all of his therapists and has much “fight” in him to come back to his old self. So I always try to remember to be positive around him to help reinforce his good attitude.

Hi Grant. Roland died today at 12noon. I was walking along the beach with a couple of friends when he passed. I’m at peace with this, because the “better” choice was to die because of his body’s condition. Roland was “dead” at the moment of impact. He would not have been living his life if the decision was made to keep him alive. We’re hoping the charge of Attempted Murder is upped to Murder, because that is what this is. Sad. Roland never had a lot of peace in his life and his life ending this way is what makes it that much sadder.

I’m so happy to hear you brother is doing much better! I was so worried for you. Like you said, hearing bad news about a loved one is like getting punched in the chest. It knocks the breath out of ya! I had one day this week when I had to pull over to the side of the road because I had chest pains and couldn’t catch my breath. Driving & sobbing should be illegal! Just saying.

((((Hugs to you)))) I know you love your brother very much and I’m so glad you are there for him!
