♡Howdy Y'all♡

This is my story in short, I am a Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in February 2019 after being very sick and I weighed 88 lbs. For the last two and a half years I have had to inject insulin 4+ times for day every day, to stay within my blood glucose level.

In December 2020 I was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery where I had to stay at home for the entire period of my illness without working, and I also had DKA aka Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.

Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays an important role in helping sugar (glucose), the main source of energy for your muscles and other tissues, enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternative fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if left untreated.

Three months later in March 2021 I finally got to see an endocrinologist, who specializes in Type 1 Diabetes. Who told me that an insulin pump would be a good device for me?

Currently the device you see in the picture is the most needed to control my diabetes.

I was recently approved for an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I am approved the hardest part is coming up with the funds to pay for the pump and equipment.

ITS A JOKE??? I DO NOT THINK IM A PROPHET BECAUSE I THINK A JOKE I MADE 13 YEARS AGO IS FUNNY? HAVE YOU EVER MET A WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE? HOW MUCH HATE COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE IN YOUR HEART FOR THEM?? HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED ME TO HATE AND PUNISH MYSELF BEFORE YOU CAN FIND PEACE??? anyway i’m listening to the white stripes - ball and biscuit

Discovering little known, long broken up bands with one album who are solidly mediocre is a delight

I’m With You

I recently had a really interesting conversation with someone about the lyrics of Avril Lavigne's "I'm With you". This song can mean many different things to different people, but I'm going to tell you what it means to me and why I instantly started crying when I saw her perform it live. I'm standing on a bridge I'm waitin' in the dark I thought that you'd be here by now There's nothing but the rain No footsteps on the ground I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? It's a damn cold night Trying to figure out this life Won't you take me by the hand? Take me somewhere new I don't know who you are But I, I'm with you I'm with you

I'm looking for a place I'm searching for a face Is anybody here I know 'Cause nothing's going right And everything's a mess And no one likes to be alone As a teenager, I always felt this song was about someone who was thinking about jumping off a bridge and they are begging for someone, anyone to come stop them, but no one is there. As a bullied teenage girl with few friends and no self esteem, this song made me feel like I wasn’t alone. It stopped me from jumping off the bridge. 

When I heard Avril start singing it live, it was cathartic and peaceful. The whole audience was singing it back to her. It was amazing. I cried for that insecure teenage girl, because she’s not alone anymore, and she saved herself.

Me, beating back young adulthood disillusionment with a stick: “YoU geT bigGER tO StoRE mORE LovE anD AppReCiaTioN iNsidE oF YoU”

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

Live Report: Goldfinger, Save Ferris, Unwritten Law at The Wiltern (July 19, 2024)

Live Report: @GoldfingerMusic @SaveFerris_1 @Unwritten_Law #Urethane at @Wiltern (7/19/24) An evening of pure energy and entertainment from some 90's greats still going strong @BigNoise @JohnFeldy @nickgross @earshotmedia @AvrilLavigne #livemusic #ska

Last Friday night at Los Angeles’ The Wiltern was the place to be for any fans of 90’s ska and pop-punk, but even better, it appeared to be a wonderful family-night-out as many old school fans of Goldfinger, Save Ferris and Unwritten Law came and brought their kids with them. And the kids all seemed to be having a blast. I have seen all three of the main bands before, so arrived with a decent…

I have a weird relationship with rock music because of my dad but I’ve been recently inspired to listen to it again and I just love it

Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows) vs 27

[idbkdi]

This is a ticket from March 2007 when I saw MCR during the O.G Black Parade tour in a UK arena. It's for standing/pit area and it cost £17.50 (approx. $22).

Now I love this band dearly, they are so close to my heart and have been for 20 years, but it is shameful - and the anti-thesis of punk rock - how much their concert tickets cost now in 2024. Warner Music and Ticketmaster are exploitative and gross. There wasn't even a fan pre-sale for the new tour or more than 3 days of notice given. More advance warning would have given fans time to save up some money and since it takes months to organize a stadium tour, advance warning was definitely an option. But no, and so the bots and scalpers got thousands of tickets and are having a great time in 2024 and this just isn't fair, especially to the young fans who never had a chance to see MCR live back in the 2000s. This isn't how it should be. And the band, who were punk rock working class kids themselves, haven't even commented on it. Back in the day they would have at least said SOMETHING in support of the fan community. It's so disappointing that this is how things are now.
