Audio books (and sometimes what I think about them)

I’m currently on a study of Social Dynamics kick and sharpening the skills I already have. The titles of some of these books is enough, I’m sure, to make you want to judge me. I know now, where the phrase, “Don’t hate the player, Hate the game” comes from. This is even more hilarious when you realize that the people… Read more →

New Job. New Place. New Life. “New New”.

One year, three weeks post heart surgery. What the fuck now? I’m Superman. Hormones of a 25 year old (certified). New Job. New home town. (Mesa/Chander Az.)   I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m going to learn to dance. Refocus on my music.   I’m finally going to find out. I’m finally going to “Know”. There’s peace… Read more →

Don’t look, Doc!

Today, I went out on a limb on my daily morning walk. A couple of weeks ago, I’d charted out a 3 mile route that I would take every day to get my ticker healthy and I thought that I could use my completion times to judge my progress of recovery. My best walking time if I pushed it was about… Read more →

Oh, and another thing…

When I laid on my right side, my left shoulder would roll over and compress my chest. I noticed that it was alot less painful when I hugged a pillow. Get you one. Read more →

So good in fact, that my brother Rick is gong to take me to San Francisco to get me out of the house this next week. Should be a… Read more →

It’s Phone Hack Day!!

  I’ve been rocking my Samsung Galaxy for better than a year now, and haven’t hacked it yet. I know that some of you will find that quite a surprise. I’ve been happy with the phone, But not really cool with some of the pay features when there are plenty of free ones out there, as long as you can… Read more →

You’re gonna wanna take a crap.

Yeah, evidently pain killers can lock up your butt-hole. So, I’d say that on top of the stool softeners and other stuff that doesn’t really help, think back to the food that irritates your stomach the most. For me, that powerful crap-starter is scrambled eggs with cheese.  It has me pebble-dashing the basin in 20. Read more →

One Week Down

Time really flies, Doesn’t it? Just a week ago, I was just TALKING to a guy about hacking my chest open. One week later, I’m back at home sleeping off the hangover. (I’m not even really hung over!) Home, and getting into my groove, I don’t know for sure that my experience of the past week has soaked in yet.… Read more →

Today, I meet Tony.

Getting closer to axe time. I’m going to meet my surgeon today. I’m really hoping that I’m officially scheduled for the 26th. A bit more nervous than I should be, seeing that I already know what is going to happen. Boy.  This is gonna hurt. Read more →
