Wishing all those who celebrate the Nativity a very Merry Christmas; I hope you are enjoying the day with family and friends. To those who don’t celebrate, I hope you’re having a good day too.
Anyway, a brief post. I posted the other day about my current experience with the U.S. health system and a friend of mine did the unexpected and created a GoFundme account for people to donate toward my wretched medical bills brought about by this dumbass kidney stone and our jacked-up healthcare system — it was unexpected and I feel humbled. Big shout out to Kieran over at Kieran’s Bullshit Humor for setting it up. He may rant like a profane lunatic, but he’s got a heart of gold. Go check his site out if you get a chance — just be warned its not for children, the sensitive, or those hoping to get into heaven. Thanks again, man — every little bit helps.
It does my heart good to see people willing to help each other out. It’s still sad that Americans have to deal with such a wretched system and that we have to resort to donations to help each other out. But knowing that there are good people out there does soften my jaded heart (somewhat).
Anyway, here’s looking forward to a new and (hopefully!) improved year.

You know I’m uncomfortable with compliments, so cut that shit out. Good luck with the surgery, and better luck with the bills.

Yeah, I know. How about “Kieran’s a complete bastard — go read his blog.”?

I’ve been out of the loop for a VERY long time. Will you send me the link for the GoFundMe? Just send it to Twitter email. I’ll help out. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
