so I’ve made it home to virginia. 15 hours worth of driving, 900 miles… Of course I’d prefere to fly but with current prices + double the price for me… meh.
Gas ran like 25 bucks a tank. What a change from last year. I never thought I’d pay less than 50 bucks a tank again.
Its weird being home. I wonder if its like that for everyone? I remember being in this home when I was only 4 or 5 (this is my grandfathers home, at least, back when I was a kid. now its my moms, one day I guess it’d be mine)
I’m hoping to get some video of the place and area for you guys, but, my poor video card is dying. Well, I can still shoot video it just has a dumbass BLUE LINE running through it. So, I guess i’ll upload it anyways. but after 4 or maybe 5 years my digital camera is on the fritz. Its too late to ask for one for christmas, and, I cant afford one so it’ll have to wait. at least my webcam works at home
So after 4 years almost exactly my Canon a85 finally bit the dust. Anyone know anything about digital cameras? i’m tempted to get another canon aXXX series but their video options still suck. I want it for video as much as snapshots.
Other than that, my mom is pretty sick. its frustrating to see and deal with, but, its life. I’m glad she’s still alive and so far its coming along to be a fun christmas.
Sorry I havent blogged here as much as many of you’d liked. Its so much fun being able to both write and make videos, but when in doubt, I make a video.
Merry christmas to all of you, and, stay safe. here is to hoping you get what you wanted and gave what you could.

So, what really happened this summer? Some folks know I went through a breakup. Some folks know I got sick. here is the short and thick of it.
I have lymphadema in my legs, complicated by venious stasis, complicated by the obesity, complicated by sleep apnea, complicated by previous injuries, complicated by the beginning stages of diabetes. Its complicated.
Back in june I got a wound on my bad leg (they’re both bad. but, the worst leg). I didnt do what I should have done to keep it healthy, and it lead to yet another infection. That infection lead to me having an all over body infection, which ran me a temperature of 105. I was delerious and drug into the hospital in the middle of june. I was in for 12 days.
During that time in the hopsital I lost all the skin from my left leg due to the swelling and infection. It had to regrow, which it did in less than a month. I was very, very ill. I still havent even remotely recovered. During that time I developed carpal tunnel syndrome.
To make matters worse I was seeing a woman who had I fallen for. I’d been dating her only 5 months or so, but, I had developed some feelings. Unfortunately things didnt work out between us and it came to a head during my hospital stay. I will gladly admit that my own feelings, actions, and choices up to that point lead to our problems during my hospital stay… however it does take two to tango. She ended up seeing my best friend of 2 years, while I was in the hospital. As far as I know they’re still together now.
I’m glad for them. you cant help who you are attracted to or whom you want. However, the timing of course sucked. She stuck it out with me for a couple of months and really helped me get quite a bit of my shit back together. I’m really glad. I wished my ‘best friend’ had done the same.
Obviously I see neither of them now. Its a shame too. I miss my friend.
My leg was ‘officially’ healed, with fresh new skin, back in july. around july 20th (near my brithday) it was back to the hospital I went. Compression therapy helps, but does not always prevent. So, frequent infections are part of the deal.
So, if you’ve ever wanted to know what I was referring to about this past summer, and the resulting impact and pain and suffering and nightmare, there it is. Now you know.
Enjoy!
Welcome to evilsquared.com. This is the personal website of the one, the only, boogie. You may know me from youtube, myspace, chat programs, video games, or other such places. you may even know me in real life. This is hopefully going to be a personal journal and an insight on a personal journey.
About me:
I’m a 34 year old disabled man. I’m unable to work due to my health, at this time. I weigh around 500 pounds (5 foot, 10 inches in height) and have struggled with my weight the entirety of my life. I’ve always been enormous. It is a daily struggle to not be larger than I currently am. I have, in fact, been closer to 600 pounds at one point in my life.
I’m funny. I’m well spoken. I’m friendly. I’m smart. These are the things I think would bring most people here, rather than just the sheer size of me. But, who knows.
Regardless of the reasons you are here, you are welcome to be here. Read and enjoy.
