Sprained wrist twice in same month!

Ouch! Can you freaking believe I’ve sprained my wrist in the same place on two different occasions; AND!!! all in the same damn month! Both sprains occurred while riding my mountain bike at night. The first incident occurred while jumping up a curb stone jerking my handlebars too fast. While going up the curb I rapidly twisting my right arm causing the painful sprain. The pain lasted approximately three full weeks. Now my wrist felt 80% better so I then decided to go out on another late night adventure. (OK, I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!) While riding on University Blvd there was this college kid by himself viewing porn on his 17 inch mac book pro. The screen was illuminating obscene content on the dark street. While quickly turning my head at this idiot’s computer my tire got caught between the train track rails in the center of the road causing me to crash! My right hand hit the pavement causing further injury and re-spraining my wrist all over again. WTF!!!

Who am I?

I’m sitting here at the university library computer lab at the moment, just downed two Monster energy drinks (circle K two for 3 dollars!) thinking to myself; where and who the hell am I? Possibly a speck of life form in a universe inside another universe, inside a molecule’s molecule. I am wondering if the meaning of life is more complex than a spiritual realm many believe we reside in. Or maybe spiritual and life form co-exsist together? Perhaps we are all walking in a solid dark non spiritual atmosphere only with the chemical endorphins within us chemically making us believe to carry on. Perhaps the caffeine receptors inside me heightened by the two Monster energy drinks i just consumed is messing with my perception as I write this incoherent babble. I don’t know? Who am I?

Did an Insect bite my penis?

Oh no, I think I got some kind of insect or mosquito bite on my penis! It doesn’t itch or hurt. It’s just a small bump on the back side very close, but not on the circumcised part. I just noticed it this morning. I am not sure how long it was there but I’m guessing it happened last night while I was asleep. I was worried about it all day at work. Anyway, I only hope it is only an insect bite and heels soon. This is the sucks!

Welp, My penis bite appears to be on a speedy recovery. The bump has nearly diminished and I feel happy again. I am never going to sleep with just my underpants on anymore. Especially during the rainy season when the bugs are everywhere.

I think I need a root canal!

Just this past week my lower bottom molar has been bothering me. However I did experience this same pain last year while I was on my way to Japan. Strangely the pain went away after the second week or so in Japan then never returned until 15 months later. Perhaps it was an infection that went away by itself and came back? There is nothing wrong with the tooth, no decay, but long ago I had a filling near the root which could be the reason of its sensitivity. Welp, I surely hope it goes away again. I also been told root canals aren’t cheap. Since I have no dental insurance I’ll have to break the bank. Crap, this is the sucks!!!

After 2 weeks the tooth still freakin hurts! The only time It feels decent is when I am sitting down and not moving, other than that it feels my nerves trigger off the pain and reeks havoc on my entire right jaw. The good new is my job now has insurance enrollments, but I will have to suffer a substantial pay cut for the weekly insurance fee. Well, it is either take the insurance or pay approximately $2000 up front to a dental firm. This is still the sucks!!!

So you don’t own a vehicle eh?

Many Americans label some people as second class citizens because they walk or ride a bicycle and do not drive their very own over priced fuel capsule. While their FAT BEHIND enters a drive-thru at burger king and orders a quarter pounder of grueling trans fat! Thinking to themselves, (or even shouting) derogatory remarks as a result of a low life walking, or on the bicycle. They then feel better than that individual because they are in their high and mighty gas guzzler. That is the American way!

Because American is made for cars, the mass majorities of walkers (and some bicyclists) are more times than not lower class America (drug addicts, alcoholics, etc). With the exception of dog walking and exercise, many middle class Americans would be shamefully embarrassed if caught walking by their friends and colleagues.

Of course if you don’t own a car and don’t want to be labeled “car-less”, you can always move to New York City or Los Angeles. These are the only true places in urban America that you can live without being your own co pilot. Public Transportation is widely accepted. Doctors, lawyers, blue collar workers and even millionaires walk side by side with junkies and street winos. As for the rest of America, in most cases, “no car = no job, and no respect”.

America’s obsession with cars and the (haves and have nots) is by far one of the top issues that pisses me off about this country. I believe having a vast unified transportation system, “like Japan,” the quality of life for everyone could be much better; but fat chance that would happen anytime in this century.
