My Family Background

My paternal grandmother (Barbara [née Collado], age 72, housewife of Galician descent) and my maternal grandfather (Ramon de la Cruz, age 86, respectable black mayor) both suffered strokes in January and can no longer talk. My father (Dario [née Collado], born 1956 or 1957, working class stiff) died of a stroke in 2002. My paternal biological grandfather (whose military experience and real last name is best not uttered in polite company) also died of a stroke in his 40s; the only thing the asshole passed down to my father and me was Sluggish Cognitive Tempo, an occipital bun, and good looks.

I also already have hypertension, and it was when I learned this that I said, "fuck it! I'm just going to become an alcoholic. I'm in Korea, so might as well." All that veganism, not smoking, not drinking, and excercising did nothing. My Knife is the book that helps me cope with being constantly reminded of my mortality.
