I went to Patrick Oneill Chiropractic on Bidwell in order to get my neck fixed as per my previous post. I just did it on a whim. I had never been to a chiropractor before and had no real idea of what it was going to be like. No one recommended him to me. I just saw the sign on his office.



It seems to have fixed my neck. Even the Chiropractor wouldn't believe it. Seriously, it made such a difference.

Here's the hitch. I went back today for a follow up and it didn't do anything new. Then he asked to schedule another appointment for next week but now I am feeling diminishing returns. So I ask myself, is going the first time like getting high the first time when you are a kid and then you always try to go back to that place but never can until you just give up or die. If that is the case then I would just quit now before I have to deal with years of chiropractic costs - not that it is very expensive.

$50 for the first appointment and $35 for follow-ups.

We ate at JP Bull Feathers in the basement for lunch. For some reason I never eat there, but it was quite tasty.


The elmwood sign almost blew off in the wind storm


I had to work so hard to not take it home. I left it up to whip off and kill some one. Which was really the moral choice?


This on is for (e:leetee) in regards to her comment on (e:paul,42336). Does my back look straighter?


I think I should just write in my journal more. It makes me happier. Thanks guys.

"85% of all Sudanese are below the absolute poverty level (which means their lives are in danger because they do not have enough money to provide food, water, and shelter for themselves)."

(e:ajay,42342), I can't believe that story either about the British teacher who was working in Sudan, and let her students name a class teddybear Muhammed. She is now in hiding under death threats from angry mobs learned her lesson about helping poor people in third world countries.

I think it is time we just give up hope on all the ones that have fundamentalist religions of any nature and poverty combined, which is about all of them. Its a hopeless case, I say let them all fight each other to death or eat themselves. Someday when everyone else is goin g to heaven, I am going to be judged for that statement.



I can't really believe it but I am really over the top sick of religious freaks getting all angry about stupid shit. It is a teddybear. I don't care what some crazy, obsessive compulsive person wrote down in a book ages ago and you believe - it is a freakin' teddybear and you people are whackos. Don't you have better things to worry about - like where your food is?

I am so angry about this I am about to rename Basra - muhammed in protest - an he is just a dirty, eat his own shit kind of beast.

Movies
I don't ever want to see another movie where they shoot children. I am over violent movies altogether really. I just don't want to see movies anymore. I hate movies. All of them.

Surebert 4.0
I released surebert 4.0 but the website still reflects the 3.21 version until I get a chance to update that. Right now it is at No one cares probably.

Death
Someone died but I am not going to talk about it until later... It is no one that you know.

Food
I went to Pho 99. I am not a big fan of asian food under $10 as it usually is substandard ingredients. Pho 99 usually tastes good. I mean, I like the lemon grass chicken but what are those chewy odd shaped bits that taste ok.

However, today the hair in my eggroll just kind of ruined it for me. I took a picture so everyone could want to vomit like I did. I guess I ate the other half of the hair. At least it was deep fried. I managed to make it all the way through lunch without telling everyone so that they weren't grossed out. It was really hard to do that.


Stomach
My stomach still hurts and is causing me a huge amount of stress.

Neck
My neck no longer hurts and I can turn it. Do I bother going back for my scheduled follow up at the chiropractor tomorrow? I have to say I feel great but am seriously a little scared to go back.

Lungs
I ran home in the freezing wind because of the news and my lunsg hurt for like 25 minutes afterwards. Don't run in freezing wind.

Drugs
I need some sort of anti-anxiety drug in high quantities right now. I am seriously about to have a nervous breakdown about nothing particular, which is not a fun feeling.

Time off
I have like 3 days left to take off 13+4 hours which is impossible with my workload. Great!

Haircut
Last night I cut my hair.
Before


I had this horrible zit/cut/scratch/infection on the back of my head that was seriously stressing me out so much that I shaved my head. Will it please get the fuck off of me now. Either that or consume me quickly and just end it. But let me tell you zit, that if I die, you die too.

At first I thought there were only a few white hairs


But then there were so many


After the haircut


Obligatory Paul is a cyborg with a new phone shot.


This is how I feel tonight


The fuckin' bridge
Is it going to be a signature bridge or a twin span. NO, because it is like 40 feet long so finish it already. Everytime I look at it, it makes me think abou tall the stupid things that never get completed. (e:jim) says it started on fire, and it is definately a bit crooked now. How hard can it be to either put it up or knock it down.

I am going to write a journal about my experience with Chiropractic but I am waiting until after my second appointment on Friday because the Chiropracter is hyperlocal and does not have a web presence so whatever I say is going to kind of define that for him.

So far it is going good but I don't want to speak too soon. I can at least turn my head without wanting to throw up. Really that is so much better.

Here are some pics with me and my new phone.





Last night I watched Star Trek on it in bed. The episode was a voyager episode but it had Diana Troy in it. When (e:matthew) caught me watching it he was so mad that I had cheated on him with Diana by watching her without him. I thought it was funny - I hope he wasn't really mad, he loves her.

It is the eve of surebert 4.0 I think depending on how I feel in the morning. I am on this new kick where I am refusing to program outside of work until I can not be sick but I find life really boring otherwise - at least in the winter.

Okay, I am off to see Mist. I am sure I will have something to say about it.
