Ouch...

oops, i seemed to have fallen off my bike.








notice the copious amount of gravel and dirt in the wound... you should have seen the shower floor after i took a scrub-brush to it...





i need to watch where i'm going.

!?!?!?!?!

so, i recieved this "fortune" after a tasty meal at Pei Wei, an asian diner just a short jaunt from the Depot. at first, i simply grazed over the message. my reading of it was almost token... ya know, somthing you do as a polite gesture, kinda like saying "'scuse me" when you walk past someone hogging the whole isle. you don't really mean, it but you say it anyway.



then, after a few seconds of thought, i piked up the small piece of paper again and read it, this time fully and wholeheartedly. 'holy crap!' i thought. this is a bit deep for a fortune cookie isn't it? shouldn't you be teaching me how to say spoon in Mandarin or telling me that my gifts will help me prosper one day?



...



'if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. - 1Jn1:9




hmm...




man, those random Chinese fellas sitting around a 20 year old Chinese-English dictionary poorly translating old Chinese proverbs from Mandrin to English have it more together than i once assumed...







kudos dudes...





thoughts?

Strep Bed...

this is what i wake up to every morning...




notice the whole used roll of toilet paper due to the faucet my nose becomes when i lay down, the ibuprofen (1g i.e. 5 200mg tabs) i take every couple of hours because of the immaculate pain my throat is in, and the burt's beezwax chapstik because i blew my nostrils raw and bloody days ago. oh yeah, and don't forget the myriad of sweat caked to the sheets because of night fevers.


awesome.


everyday i wake up and expect to feel even a small amount better... this, unfortunately has proven to not only be a fallacy but also a seeming impossibility. i actually thought about what it would be like to live with this for the rest of my life this morning... between the violent coughing and thundering nose blowings... no thanks.
