Back to Patrick O'neil ChiropracticCategory: health
I went back to the chiropractor today because my neck was so messed up from computing with a 3rd monitor and then plumbing a drain in a cold draft. I am always amazed at our fast a chiropractic appointment is.
I seriously could only turn my head about 25 degrees either way the last few days - which I have to say is a serious driving danger. I never realized how much I turn my head until, I couldn't. Same with walking and trying to cross the street. It is way dangerous to turn your whole body because you can't do it very quick.
I already have a little more range but this time I think it my neck injruy was worse. I still can't really turn to the left very far. He said I would be in pain tonight and maybe tomorrow and to call him if it gets worse tomorrow and to schedule a follow up appointment on Monday. He also said I should relax, drink lots of fluids and look straight ahead for the rest of the evening. I really want to go to the massage therapist now. I wish I could go now. Are their 24 hours massage places or is that sketchy and really a different line of work once it is 24 hours.
Run white boy run
I was almost late for the Chiropractor this evening because I stayed at work talking to my teammates about some computer situation we were having. So I started to run home down Washington in order to get the car and a gaggle of ghetto trash coming out of the subway yelling run whitey, run or something and then they were all laughing and yelling more. Maybe that is how they take out their aggression about the unfairness built into our society. At least it wasn't with guns. Besides, I was secretly laughing on the inside thinking about their lives - tragic. I guess that makes me a bad person - whatever. Sometimes I think I should just buy one of those shooting tazers from out of state.

Dinner at sahara grillCategory: food
We went to sahara grill for valentines dinner. The waitress rfushed us at 9PM although they closed at 10PM and were still seating people. It was freezing, like I never took my scarf off. The menu was exactly the same as before they closed. The chicken lavash (that I got because I felt too rushed to get dinner) was really tasty. My verdict is that I would go there again, but for lunch.



(e:terry) really seems to hate valentines day which always makes it so pleasant. I guess I can't complain too much as we have plenty of romantic days not on valentine's day.
So I was thinking that I probably have had 24/7 internet access wherever I go since about 2003, except for maybe a week of remote camping. I wonder what would happen to me if it went away?
I want to shout out to my nokia n810 not phone for having an innovative keyboard that requires no shift press to type a apostrophe.

I don't know if I and Terry have dislike for the holiday for the same reasons or not. But I think that even if you have issues with it one can still go out and enjoy themselves on that day. In that picture Matt looks like he would rather be anyplace but there, hope that wasn't how it was and hope the 3 of you had a good day.

i have to say i'm really not impressed with sahara grill. I'll stick with falafel bar. Every time I go it's rushed, and last time they fucked up my order, and then it was cold, etc etc.

A Busy DayCategory: work
My neck is stuck again so I can't look to one side. On another note, I cleaned my desk and refactored/programmed a huge amount of stuff today. I also exported all the online signatures from my application and they look pretty good. It is amazing how well people can sign with a mouse.
(e:matthew) and I started talking about our new architectural website we are working on, more details to come....
Walgreens had valentines pigs dressed in leather chaps. What is that about? Now to decide on a place to eat?
We want to go out for dinner but no one can decide where to go?

influence on my life, and that you are a really important part of my
thinking. so thats it.
later.
I only wish that person didn't live so far away in China ;(
How did you hurt your back?
The likeness is uncanny!
