On one hand, this past Thursday night, the 20th, I found this letter on my car’s front windshield when I left work. On the other hand, at work on Saturday night, I started getting a headache. Dave said he refrained from coming up to say hello to me because I “looked angry.” I got off [...]

aka, A Bunch of Reasons Why One Night Stands Are Bad Forgive me if you weren’t around in my life as 2002 came to a close. Forgive me, also, for having deleted that journal last year (), which means I don’t have anything online to link for reference. If you weren’t around or just don’t [...]

Since 1996, my life has been a long journey of visiting one doctor after another. I look more or less fine, but I'm not. My daily pill count is like playing the dozens with a hospice patient. One doctor will say I'm doomed, and send me to another for treatment, but the treating doctor will find nothing within his or her area of practice that can be treated.
My life is better than a comedy, better than a drama. Anyone who has done this knows what I mean when I say that you have to not only know the rules, but also play the part in order to be allowed in the game. Most people find what we go through in the medical merry-go-round to be unbelievable, which is why I call it "The Drag of Gimp."
