Saturday, May 12th, 2012I wish I had died in 1984. That was an excellent time. All of the time since then has been a complete waste. But, I was a fool. I believed the shit that society said. The next time you see a dead squirrel, a dead bird, a dead ant, a dead anything, that is how [...]
2012: Apocalypse Steve
Wednesday, April 11th, 2012I’m so close to the finish line. I’m almost there. I took the following pictures today. I have dreamed of being in a warm place for whatever time I have left. The answer was so simple. I’m a veteran. I’m entitled to a hole in the ground in a national cemetery. All I need to [...]

The Islands Keep Calling
Sunday, February 26th, 2012Cookie and I are going to Hawaii. It’s a one-way trip. We’re not going back. I don’t care if I ever see anyone I have ever known again. It’s not because I’m a rude asshole. I just hate the cold. I have been living in the rocky mountains. I’m going to live on the lower [...]
65 Degrees and Falling
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. It was 65 degrees. I took Cookie for a wonderful hour-long walk on a bike/jogging trail across the street. There are a lot of bikers here in the mountains. In fact, there is a very serious, hard-core biking shop across the street. It’s literally on the bike path. This [...]
The Worst Pictures of Me Ever Taken
Thursday, February 16th, 2012What do you do with the most horrible pictures of yourself ever taken? Post them on the web! I took these pictures when I was in the Intensive Care Unit recently. Yep, I look horrible. This guy looks like he’s going to die (maybe next time). After removing and reattaching the electrodes to shower, I [...]
Whitney
Tuesday, February 14th, 2012Whitney Houston: 1963-2012. I like those numbers. Who wants to live past 48? Let’s see. In the last 4 months I’ve gone to the emergency room 3 times and was hospitalized two of those times. This could be my year. This could be the best year of my life.
Life at 6000 Feet
Sunday, February 12th, 2012The best dog in the world: I’ve spent the last few months at about the 6000 foot level in Colorado. I haven’t really lived anyplace for two-and-a-half years. The sun’s rays are more direct here. It’s about 8 degrees south in latitude from Minneapolis. The thin atmosphere doesn’t filter out the sun’s rays as much, [...]
ICU
Wednesday, January 18th, 2012I was in the Intensive Care Unit from January 16th – January 19th. What a great time! I think they went a little IV crazy on my right arm. They had at least 3 IVs going at a time. I think they were trying to make an IV sculpture. They did a pretty good job [...]
Cookie’s 2nd Birthday
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011Two years ago today, the world became a better place: Cookie was born. As far as I know, that is the only thing of any importance that has ever happened on a December 14th. Cookie is better than I can possibly describe. How a little animal can be so sweet and nice and friendly to [...]
