I have this friend that is in a nasty battle with testicular / brain cancer. For seven months this has been going on. A orchiectomy, several rounds of chemo, then a seizure, brain surgery, maybe some radiation thrown in there just for fun.
The man has been through hell and back. Yet his positive attitude is astounding. The guy resonates strength, character, and perseverance. His wife has been there by his side the whole time, displaying her own incredible strength and love. Seriously, it’s crazy how both tough and positive these two have been throughout this shitstorm life has handed them.
Clint and Angela are world-class human beings. I want my kids to grow up and be just half as strong and humble as they are
And now some asswipe contacts Clint via Twitter and tells him that he’s flaunting his cancer diagnoses in order to get his 15 minutes of fame.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Seriously?
How someone could even consider that is beyond my comprehension.
15 minutes of fame. Really? Yeah, I’m thinking trading a testicle for a little “fame” is pretty damn stupid, and Clint isn’t a stupid man.
Would YOU trade a testicle, and some brain tissue, and have a titanium plate bolted to your skull for a little “internet fame”? I’m asking you, oh douchebag sender of the Tweet. Would you trade all of that for this so-called fame?
My guess is no. Because if you’re a male, your testicles are apparently already missing. And this is going to sound sexist, but I refuse to believe any female has the total lack of compassion it would take to even think such a moronic thought.
Honestly, I wish I knew who this was so I could punch them in the face. There is enough shit going on in the world today that we don’t need heartless, unthinking and utterly clueless douchebags like this walking around.
On second thought, they aren’t even worth the five minutes it took to write this. They need to just crawl back under a rock and rot.
Hang in there Clint and Angela, and don’t let this idiot bring you down. Fight the good fight and keep kicking cancer’s ass!
Absolutely unbelievable. It’s hard to even understand why someone would say that. I guess Lance Armstrong got cancer to increase his fame too. *ugh*
Well put. You are a good friend, and Clint sounds like a strong and brave man. We need more of both of you in this world, not to mention how amazing his wife sounds as well. If you ask me, you were even a little too easy on that asshole, as I would have let the explatives fly like nobody’s business. I sincerely hope he recovers.
Jay: I came back in to real estate and the social media world last March, so I didn’t get to know Clint. When he first came back recently, I friend requested him not really knowing what to expect. Now, I understand why everyone is so crazy about him.
Clint: There will always be haters in this world. You have a million Clint lovers for each hater. (Besides, if you have haters, you know you’re doing something right!) We all know you’re the real deal.
My husband’s ex-wife told him that his father was pretending to have cancer to get attention. I was like you, Jay – Really?! REALLY? That was the last straw for him..he dumped her and eventually married me.
holy shit…You sure we can’t collectively track the piece of shit? I would very much like to drive out to where ever IT dwells and punch IT in where its balls were supposed to be…
What an embarrassment to the human race.
The part of me not shaking and pissed off at the moment is sending the warmest thought to Clint and Angela.
Time to name and shame this idiot Jay. I’d be very happy to give the douchebag a bit more than 15 minutes of Internet fame he’ll wish he never had.
I’m with Peter on this one, Jay.
I don’t know who it is. And I’m not sure I want to know….
AMAZING! – Absolutely, utterly, AMAZING! #weloveclint
Douche bag, indeed! Waddya’ say we find him and we all have a contest to see who can punch him in the teeth the softest. (You & I can go last, Jay! We’ll probably lose anyway…) And, good for you for being a good buddy & stand-up guy and posting this!
Jay:
I am glad I missed the original douche tweet….I think I would have jumped in and taken a swing at him too. I am glad I found this post of yours just to chime in and WISH the very best for Clint and Angela’s fight and a super positive wave!
I want to punch the douchebag in the baby maker. Funny story about “douchebag”, a friend of mine didn’t know a thing actually existed. She just thought that’s what you called a really moronic person.
Jay – Like you, Clint is a true hero to me. #FuckCancer
What an A**HOLE!! Some people need a filter from their brain to their mouth.
Douchebag – it really is the perfect smackdown. Spot on Jay
Clint wins–big time. And so do we from knowing him. Thanks, Jay!
Thank you Jay!!! Thank you everyone for your amazing support of my brother!!!
Amen, brother.
Lookout evil little twitter dude. You mess with one of us and you’re messing with the whole damn trailer park. #weloveclint
What an ass. Clint was famous way before the cancer showed and way longer than 15 minutes. #weloveclint
Jay, Audrey said what I was thinking. Clint was famous to me as soon as I got on Twitter. @TheRealClint. That’s why when I head he was sick, I knew exactly who he was. His generosity and jovial nature naturally drew people to him and does now. His fame is magnified by the outpouring of love and concern expressed with the power of social media. Whoever wrote that proves they don’t have a clue…
This drums up huge emotion for me. Reminds me of the douche-bag that said how nice it must have been to get a nice 11 month “VACATION” 13 years ago when I battled this horrid disease. Yeah, nothing more relaxing and fun than being poked, prodded, cut up over and over. Chemo that makes you wish you were dead for twelve days at a time, almost feeling human for maybe a day only to repeat the whole thing over again. Tubes hanging out of your body, shots twice a day on top of everything else. All the while looking at your two year old son and newborn daughter wondering if you’ll see them get to start school… Frickin’ vacation for sure… Apparently I’m now reliving my 5 minutes of fame…
The inevitable side effect of social media is that you have to put up with the occasional idiot. There’s no point arguing with jerks online, 99% of the time they’re just looking for a reaction. Block the creep and move on (easier said than done, I know.)
What an a-hole!!
