Waiting While Nonna is dying

I am sitting here. She keeps holding on but she doesn't move anymore.

It looks like I might the landlord of a house in Buffalo from Nonna. It will be interesting to be a landlord. Maybe I will enjoy it and buy a hundred houses as part of my consume Buffalo before it consumes me plan.

My mother just said that she wants me to be her health care proxy because my brother would keep her hooked to a machine in closet for eternity.

To pass the time I was reading about housing costs to pass the time and San Francisco doesn't have the largest rate of housing cost growth but it does have the highest housing costs in the entire county. There is no city even close.

The only city even remotely close was honalulu

2004q1 2005q1 (thousands)
Honalulu $420.0 $529.1 + 26.0%
Phoenix $155.8 $193.8 +24.4%
San francisco $600.5 $689.2 +14.8%
Buffalo $86.2 $93.9 +8.9%

Everything is Crazy Right Now

I got an emergency message to get home ASAP. T-mobiles internet has been down so it was really hard for me to get messages. Turns out Nonna [search]nonna[/search] is in the hospital and is very at the end. I hope they can ease the suffering at this point. She is supposed to get a morphine drip for the pain she is having breating.

She had a massive stroke and is pretty much not there. She moves one arm every once in a while, but only to reach up to nothing in front of her. Sometimes she tries to pull the tubes out.

I hope I never get to that point in life. I want to die of a sudden heart attack. I feel bad for (e:mike) He was going to pick her up for his graduation dinner and she was passed out on her kitchen chair, writing his graduation card. I guess they have been at the hospital ever since. I will update my vacation info later.

The largest beer selection

At brickskeller in DC they have the largest selection of Bier in the world. I decided to eat a cheeseburger, drink beer, and smoke cigarettes. It is fun to pretend that it's not dangerous. Elephant beer is the first ber I ever got drunk on, when I lived in Flensburg

So many ideas and no computer

I have had a million good business ideas this week. I need to talk with so many people when I get back. I decided to just finish the projects I want to work on and start my own business (details withheld) This gives Buffalo one last chance seeing as we have a lease for a while and (e:matthew) doesn't want to move yet and (e:terry) has a good job.

I need to make a minimum of $1200 per month while I work on my business. I got three job offers this month but the places are OH, NH, and NYC. I guess this will dispell the rumours that I am moving to California.

I really have an interest in being super rich and working for the dark side now and Buffalo is the only place where I can be "super rich" considering I was born to a not wealthy family in a poor city and I no longer believe in merrit based upward mobility.

P.S. I am still waiting for that call from the mafia. This picture is terry dancing and driving.

New War Memorial

I am glad we spend our tax money on new death memorials. In all the reliefs that I saw there was only one with a woman and she was some dancer girl for the boys on leave, how inclusive. I mean I know there aren't female soldiers but is the only support role "sex object?"
