First, let me share with you all the discussion that I was talking about (I'll be paraphrasing and omitting some names though).
Here was what I originally typed:
"Question: If you were having sudden onsets of a painful burning sensation in your stomach for the past two days, but this time you tasted a settle hint of blood in your mouth (but there actually wasn't any blood in your mouth our coming out of it), and these sudden onsets of burning in your stomach seemingly had no precursor or cause, they seemed random... But as a child, you used to have random bouts of stomach discomfort with seemingly no precursor (but they used to not feel like a fire is inside your gut, it used to just feel like your regular severe stomach ache with bathroom and barfing problems), all the time, off and on... And you had no doctor and no health insurance and no money, what the fuck would you do?! I'm serious... Need help! :O "
And, it's true. I have actually been having medical troubles throughout pretty much the whole entire duration of my young life. They have always been sudden, sporadic, un-diagnosed, and untreated. Anyhow... That somehow turned into "Why don't you illegally immigrate to a different country... That'll somehow entitle you to free healthcare." And it's not a lie, it's not a joke. It's not an exaggeration... It's totally true! In several different countries, often times, people who are illegal immigrants get treated better and somehow are more eligible for certain things that legal immigrants and natural born citizens aren't. Don't get me wrong... Immigration, honestly, isn't really that big of a deal to me. You want to visit another country? You want to travel and see the world? You want to move to a different country? Go right on ahead. You have every right to do so! The part that bugs me is not the part that people travel and immigrate (not even the part where people illegally immigrate... Not even the part that illegal immigrants get treated like they are real human beings deserving of basic human rights), but the part that legal immigrants and natural born citizens are often times treated like a bucket of bile instead of human beings and aren't probably treated a lot of the time!
Anyhow, as the title of this post would suggest, not this whole entire blog post was going to be about my medical issues and the flaws of different country's governments and systems... I (as the title of this post would suggest and have everyone reading this believing) had something else to talk about in this post.
Apparently I have a friend that wants to start some sort of brand NEW music thing up with me starting this weekend, like some sort of band or something... So, unlike my original plan of me supposedly taking a break from music until my poetry book was fully typed up and finished would suggest, I will be doing my poetry book still but also be starting up a new music project. I'll do my best to keep you all posted and up-to-date with the progress of my poetry book and my brand new, up and coming music project!
