Richard Del Connor Philosopher Poet

Chemotherapy still manageable. Radiation pain is increasing. I explain about my migraine medication and how I use it. Bear the cat hangs out for a few minutes. I explain the process of producing one of these “Cancer Chemotherapy Radiation” journals. Lao Tzu: from Tai of Taoism by Richard Del Connor “Buddha Zhen” “The incorporation of opposites creates usable efforts.  Walls have doors.  Containers...

Pain?  A mixture of actual pain plus mosquito bites.  Woke up Friday night in itchy pain.  Woke up last night with itchy pain.  Had to put sunburn lotion with lidocaine in it on.  After a half-hour plus an acetaminophen pill… I got a good night sleep.  I woke up three minutes before my alarm went off. YouTube has been altering my video access on some videos.  I hardly understand what’s going on at...

I’m going to be glowing with radiation an entire month after they stop shooting me.  Then they wait a month before deciding that I’m healed or going in for surgery. Richard Del Connor explains the origins of Taoism started by Lao Tzu in 250 B.C. Sasparilla tasting antacid tablets at night… “I’ll take my shirt off when I’m done… I’ll do a shirt-off video at the end of this.” “For my album release,...

I express my concerns about my ligaments getting cooked by the radiation.  I am recording 320 videos for my Shaolin Chi Mantis BEGINNER PROGRAM.  I’ve got 200 of them done. I’ve supposedly got a musical nephew.  I was hoping he’d call me on July 5th when my relatives had a get together…  I had an open mind and was looking forward to talking to my musical nephew.  I told my brother that morning to...

I discuss my hair.  What am I growing it into?  I dunno.  I was told my hair was going to fall out.   So if I start shedding more than my cat I will shave my head.  I look good bald.  My brain looks cool when it’s shiny. “My ego is astronomically large compared to most people.  It’s based on my brain — not my appearance.  I think that my ability to get something done or accomplished is my brain.”...

Del Connor the Kung Fu Cowboy I explain how I SOLVED my video editing main problem. I explain how I SOLVED my external Hard Drive problem… without panicking… that I might lose all my digital files…. Check out my solution.  It may help you someday.  Or at least on a Macintosh. I talk about Damien Keyes, my album release guru. Yay!  I have finally wrestled Adobe Premiere Pro into submission. This so...

Del Connor the Kung Fu Cowboy “Be an American.” I did a Kung Fu class last night.  I felt a little sluggish… like moving in water… I explain how I’m having trouble with videos and uploading and editing the audio… EDITOR’S NOTE:  I’ve conquered my problems in this video.  Yay! Lao Tzu from Tao of Taoism by Buddha Zhen (me). “As one argument begins, another is ended. Eventually, all things started w...

I get a 3-day weekend for the 4th of July.  This means 3-days off from my radiation and chemotherapy. I’m still having trouble video editing.  As I type this DESCRIPTION it’s a week later and now I have got a beginning “grasp” of using the Adobe Premiere Pro video editing software. In this video I’m having troubles with video… I got paid today my Social Security check a little early because of the...

I explain my first “Blood Circulation Test.”  First time.   I had a lot of fun playing with my daughter’s staff.  It is amazing how much work she put into it. I taught a Tai Chi class last night.  I talked so much we didn’t do a full workout.  It was fun.  I like telling my stories.  I learn from them, so I presume anyone else can learn from them also. Third person:  Richard Del Connor announces h...

Uh oh.  I talk politics in this podcast.  I read from Lao Tzu in my book, Tao of Taoism by Buddha Zhen.  Oh yeah.  That’s me.  I’m Zhen Shen-Lang, which translates to “Spirit Wolf of Truth.”  The Chinese regard me as Founder, “Shijo,” and a Kung Fu teacher, “Shifu” or “Master.” Then I realized in 2006 that I was going to create the ultimate Shaolin Kung Fu school for Americans.  The business sloga...

I’m less motivated to be doing Kung Fu now.  The doctor and the nurse told me that the radiation is going to also bake my hips.  This could weaken my ligaments in my hips.  I’m already fighting these guys because I’m 67 years old.  I regularly complain of my lack of flexibility compared to five years ago.  I was gaining a little flexibility before this radiation treatment for my colon cancer. I do...

I used to teach ten to twelve classes per week plus my private lessons and my own personal weapon practice. I’ve hired a promo person in England to give me guidance in my upcoming ALBUM RELEASE: Scorpion Resurrection by Kung Fu Cowboy. He was asking, “What is YOUR community?  Who are your fans?” I replied that my “community” has been centered around Shaolin Kung Fu and Yang Tai Chi Chuan since 198...

Opening song is "Use Me" from my upcoming Kung Fu Cowboy DEBUT ALBUM. Pre-release is August 6, 2021 the date I finish my chemotherapy and cancer radiation treatment. I need some time to finish the album, mix the album, master the album, and upload all the formats to my distributors.  Oh yeah, I've got to make the ALBUM COVER also!  I have my first mockup in this video.  I'm not s...

Sarsaparilla tasting antacid tablets at night… “I’ll take my shirt off when I’m done… I’ll do a shirt-off video at the end of this.” “For my album release, August 6, I’ll take off my shirt and flex a muscle.” I explain about how I’m BEGINNING to learn Adobe Premiere Pro video editing software. I talk about the SCORPION RESURRECTION album by Kung Fu Cowboy I’m producing, or should be producing.  I’...

Richard Del Connor (sometimes it’s easier to write in the third person) explains what a “Standing Order” is for blood tests.  Weekly blood tests have been scheduled online for the next five weeks. Richard has paid $200 to a British music promo dude.   Alright, back to first person narrative:  Hopefully this Brit will help me get one million streams on Spotify or achieve more success in my album re...

There are unusual aspects to these treatments so my information will prepare someone better if they have to take this treatment journey also. I’ve got a loss of appetite.  “My stomach’s shrunk.”  I’m at least 10 pounds overweight.  I’m eating 1/2 to 3/4 of a normal meal.  Can’t… Discomfort is beginning from the radiation treatment.  Just feels dead, like a rock. I explain my method of taking the a...

Day #3 of Richard’s toxic nuclear therapy to kill his squamous cell cancer in his butt. I feel better than expected.  Maybe it’ll get worse?  I explain how I’m taking my pills and preparing for the radiation. I made the nurses laugh as I was tying my shoes to prepare to leave their nuclear arsenal.  I said, “Thank you.  I appreciate being your target.” This garnered some good chuckles from the nur...

I’m editing #DAY 12 right now of this Chemotherapy Memoir series. I’m improving on things… improving the sound… changing the TITLE CARDS… experimenting with this Adobe Premiere Pro software. Just reassuring you, that by the end of this series these videos will be professional quality. “I hope that builds confidence in my audience.” =========== ===================== QUESTION:  How can you tell if a...

I started radiation treatment and chemotherapy today.  I have seven weeks of treatment at five days per week.  33 treatments total. Today was the only intravenous treatment.  From now on I will take the chemotherapy pills twice per day only on the days I do radiation. It's been a horrible battle this entire year with a hemorrhoid that turned out to be cancer pushing against it.  It's not n...
