My right hand doesn't know what my left hand is blogging.
Okay, so I am dealing with the worst sunburn I have ever had. I have only had 3 or 4 sunburns in my entire 30 years living on this earth. I have a dark complexion, and I tend to be wise about exposing myself to the sun (i.e. I ‘m not one to lay out, but then again most guys aren’t).
The burn is concentrated in a small area (my shoulders and back of my neck… no red neck jokes). Well, when I small I guess it is relative. My current disgusting body surface area is 2.25 square meters of Carl. Yuck. So my burn is the equivalent of the Earth hurting because New Zealand bursting into flames.
Anyway, the point of the story is I think the heat and the burn have conspired to damage my brain. I can’t think straight, and time seems to be passing at irregular intervals. By the time I went to bed last night, it seemed like I had been awake for about 48 hours. But the day itself flew by except for an hour between 8 PM and 9 PM. Pretty weird.
Also, my sun-damaged brain is fighting with what I want to blog about. I have 4 blogs all ready and outlined to post, all a little more meaty than my current topics have been… yet the voices keep saying "mention that you rocked out to Anthrax ‘Efilnikcufecin’ yesterday" or "I wonder how many tacos I could eat." So I had better start typing and see if anything intelligent comes out. The proper blog entries will have to wait…
LEFT: Did you hear that people are losing their jobs, or being reprimanded at least, at major businesses because they are addicted to maintaining their blogs (or surfing others’ blogs)? This is an interesting social trend. People are reading and writing again. The bad news is, like most communication, it (the blog horizon) is 80% noise.
RIGHT: I am getting my blood drawn today. The hospital that I work at (one of my two jobs) does it for their employees once a year. They check your cholesterol and all of that jazz. It is an expensive set of tests and they do it for free. It makes me wonder why they do it for. The hospital isn’t exactly known for doing nice things for its employees. I picture a huge conspiracy to see everyone’s health status so they can weed out employees that may but a burden on the insurance… But what really concerns me is the 12 hour fast. I am getting blood drawn at 10 AM, so I need to avoid all food and drink until then. You’d think I was in the desert for a year as hungry as I am. I need a pop desperately!!!
That’s enough for now. Easing back into blogging is fun! I need to get a few new pictures up too. But since the girl whose wireless internet I was "stealing" has moved out of our apartment complexes, I haven’t been real keen on doing anything that requires file transfers through my 56k dial-up. Phuong was right, you can’t go back to dial-up. ;)
Horns up.
