My Cholesterol headache

As the cells in my body relentlessly tick away towards that magic number of four-oh, I can feel the atrophy coursing through my veins. This morning I just had an eggs and bacon breakfast, and the next thing that I noticed is that I had a headache going through my skull. I had to take a tylenol pill... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm depressed in a depressing age

The more I watch the images from Hurricane Katrina, the more forlorn I become. The images on MSNBC are sickening and heart wrenching enough to make me turn to Religion. This isn't a far away city in a foreign land, this is happenning right here in the good 'ol USA. What ads to my meloncholy is the... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogging is the best exercise

Today is the second month that I'm going into without doing a regular exercise routine. I've lost about $60 worth of money in gym dues and a whole lot of confidence in myself. Motivating yourself is enormously difficult, when you're just not a gym person. I'm more the couch potato, the reader and... Sign in to see full entry.

Bloggers in fetid water

Now that New Orleans is sunk, much like the lost city of Atlantis. I keep wondering what is going to happen to the famous landmarks that make the city the city. A lot of them are underground and some have been looted. What makes me particularly sad, is the heritage of the city is being drained away... Sign in to see full entry.

My business is down the drain

It's a financial disaster for me here in Ma. The guy who wanted to buy my business flaked on me and withdrew his offer. No real reason given, just goodbye. So I'm out the price of a low end luxury car in cost. Then there's the fact that most of the money that I made did little to curb my expenses,... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is a day for major spirituality

Today a prospect to sell my business dropped out on me. That was like a blow to the solar plexus that I wasn't anticipating. I know how salesmen feel because they seem to have the same set of emotions when their client falls through. This guy gave me some hokey excuse like "Oh, I might be going...

I keep hemoraging money

Why is life such a continual drain of money. I try and be frugal but nothing turns out the way I want it to, everything is a losing proposition. People that are excited to meet me one day, don't call me back the next. Are they all flakes? There has to be a happy medium between life and death.... Sign in to see full entry.

New Orleans might be the new Atlantis

As I write this blog, Hurricane Katrina is bearing down upon the Gulf Coast. The forcast is for severe devastation and flooding. What makes me really sad, is that I was there just 2 months ago in June. I enjoyed my visit and saw many of the sites that the city had to offer, including the famed... Sign in to see full entry.

Everywhere is scary

While hiking in a secluded wood, it occurred to me that the woods around here are a lot like the ones in Maryland, where the Blair Witch Project was filmed. The woods in New England have been described in poem, "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. And I have many miles to go before I sleep," wrote... Sign in to see full entry.

Pee Pee Check

Ever been to an imaging tech to get an x-ray done of your urethra? The experience was not as painfull as I imagined it to be, but still a bit fearfull. The technician called in a doctor and they inserted a tube into my (you know what) and filled it with fluid to check the whole thing out. At the... Sign in to see full entry.
