 Got a root canal and it was 3 hours long but man, it felt awesome afterwards. Next day it hurt, and more each day until I noticed the filling reconstruction sloping off like a miniature landslide. So theres a headache constantly. Doesn't help that I've had stomach issues with some nasty bug and nausea. Tried [...]

Thats right, today is MY day. C’mon over and gobble some cock! If some bitches and they’re weakling apologist male friends can declare a Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, then I’m also making you aware of my pole in need of being smoked. Who gives a shit about cervical cancer? Oh I know… people WITH it. [...]

Finally made it home to Boracay and dysentary. I’d forgotten the water here, even tooth-brushing and showering, is pretty contaminated. Well, I didn’t forget, just kinda assumed it wouldnt be hard on me as if aclimetized like before.
I cope with large amounts of Tanduay rum and take-out food. And mangos, loves me some mangos.
My room [...]

The Korean Air flight from Stateside was interesting as I had been awake for 45 hours, was having trouble thinking straight, body aches – then a Korean girl (late 20’s) starts flipping out. She complained of stomach pain but couldn’t describe it, then looked confused, tired, tried wandering around. They isolated her to the back, [...]

Boozeless Reset?

Tagged with , ,

Most hard-resets are the result of too much partying and booze, but this one came out of nowhere and way too early. Woke up to the morning rituals and had breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, and coffee. Few hours later I was lounging on the bed with a book thinking that coffee had some extra [...]

Things have taken a lot longer than I anticipated and still haven’t gotten screened for whatever diseases I’ve likely picked up in S.E. Asia. Keep extending the stay, the hotels, the trips, the car rental… about $4,000 spent for the current 3 weeks.
Computer’s been wigging out and I suspect its from some virus. Ever since, [...]

So I’m looking on Amazons Health & Wellness page and right in there with the vitamins…. are DVD listings for Michael Jacksons concert DVD’s. Um, yea… the worlds wealthiest freak…. health and wellness… ohhhhkaaaay.
I have this Skittles pack that’s supposedly made in the USA, not a local packager. Someone failed at using a calculator.

Middle Eastern men create a natural sex-toy: introducing cloned goats from Iran!
By now, pretty much everyone has seen those videos of Middle Eastern men in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc…  having sex with animals while getting recorded thru the targeting system of an American weapon system. The Taliban was always rooting the goats while Iraqis preferred [...]

Perhaps it’s time to dry out for a while. I’ve gotten to the reverse sleep schedule again, only seeing daylight when I go to bed in the morning, dehydrated and waking up horribly thirsty, spending so much time lying on the bed watching TV that my lower back is out of whack. Drinking causes loss [...]

I’m sick and tired of this crap, just too damn much all at once.
It  came time to goto Manila for a wedding, cool! 2 days to fly, jesus christ I feel like crap. cant get any airlines on the phones. stay inside. The next day blows:

I rehydrate all night, wake to find my skin itchy [...]

WTF!  Seriously, wtf is going on with me getting a head-cold? At first I though it was a hang-over since I stayed up almost 24hr drinking myself stupid, but this fucking hurts. Neck, eyes, sinus, shoulder and head muscles, headache…. took a Sinutab and tried taking another one an hour later but my throat seems [...]

Does grape Gatorade ever go bad? You wouldn’t think so but apparently it does – see the title. It goes bad with a vengeance.
Woke up around 4pm. Hung out at Red Pirates for a while

B: B calls saying that him and M would be arriving in 30 minutes and I should stay….
me: well, you see [...]

Screw this day, I’ve had enough of my 4 waking hours. Back to the aircon and bed.
Something happened keeping me awake all night, with a bottle of Tanduay. Even had a vodka redbull around 9:00 am but finally crashed. Man, I woke around 8:30 pm feeling nauseous and sweating like mad. Daymn, the room reeks! [...]

So I found this hippy article about using vinegar and honey for symptoms of the common cold. They seem to think its much cheaper than using medications. Lets see:

1/4 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup honey drink. 8x daily.
1/2 cup cup vinegar added to a vaporizer
teaspoon vinegar, tablespoon honey added to glass of water for a [...]

I have to ask this because I’ve not left the house much in a few days. A few hours at Cocoloco’s and at Red Pirates…some of which I remember, but other than that its been time spent in the aircon. Now it looks like the night will be wasted again trying to fix a cell [...]

I forgot about this…. when I was in the Makati Medical Center getting checked for this huge friggin’ cannon shot wound in my leg (ahem…) I weighed myself for the first time since I got here.
I lost 65 pounds in the past year! (That’s almost 30 kilos for you others)
I was a snug 50 inch [...]

I woke up around noon today and promptly did nothing but some more laundry. Bleaching all the whites in the house that seem dingy after the house was empty for almost a month. Haven’t been shopping since I got back so I made some instant oats as food, not that I was hungry but I [...]

This happened as we were getting pulled over by the Manila traffic dudes for supposedly running a red light. They were gonna shake the people down for a lot more but I guess it came down to 100 pesos when I stepped out of the truck. I was getting pissed and that’s when I felt [...]

Just a quick note.
My leg looks like it was shot with a .22 pistol and got infected. Hell, it happened when I was 19 or 20, got shot with a .22 and didn’t know it till later. Now its infected and swollen but the Doc says it’ll be fine and to stop walking on it.  [...]

I swear, I must have a new tapeworm because I’m friggin starving!
No joke, I am hungry as hell and I NEVER get hungry. I like to eat….a lot. I enjoy it possibly more than sex. I mean, I reaaaaaly like to eat. I can eat a lot at a single sitting but don’t usually eat [...]
