Thyroid Scar

Thyroid Scar  - Day 9
Here is a sweet picture of my scar. I am about 85% recovered, except for the scar of course. The neck is still a bit sensitive and stiff. I am going to start biking and running again soon. I cant wait.

The "getting better" is a lot more extensive than I thought it would be. I thought that surgery wuld be that rough part, but surgery was cake.

I have two 2000 word papers due by sunday and I havent really started either of them. I always get myself into these messes. No worries I just have to buckle down and get it done.

I have been thinking about taking Yoga classes as part of my phoenix like rising from the ashes. If I can't make this whole surgery ordeal a turning point in my life than I must be hopeless. but.. .. but.. being hopeless is suddenly okay..

The Gospel

They call it good news in hell.
There is no way to stop the future. It seems right around the corner. The only thing we can do is hold on and make peace with ourselves and those around us.

The best thing to do is find a god and go into the woods at night and talk to him. He will answer if you wait long enough. They key is listening.

Some gods you might wanna invite over are:
  • Jesus
  • Buddha
  • Benjamin Franklin
  • Muhammad
  • Zoroastar
  • Socrates
  • Confucius
  • George Fox
  • Moses
  • Isaiah
  • John the Baptist
  • Saint Paul
  • Martin Luther
  • Gandhi
The funny thing that I always laugh at while talking to god is how he is so many people and in so many places at the same time. How he has time to hangout with me while he has so much other stuff to do. I think he comes over for the beer.

The point I am trying to drive home is the idea that god is the same person no matter the religion. No matter what you call him or how he looks he is the same person inside. No matter how many beers he has he still wants you to not lie cheat or steal, and honor thy parents, not bear false witness, and all that other stuff.

He just wants you to be happy and a good person. He also likes cold fresh beer and turkey sandwiches. So have those ready when you invite him over.

I'm not religious, but... I guess I am, but I don't have a religion. I kind of scrapbook religions and take the most useful and best parts and make my own. Like I don't think resting on Sunday is important because I have to work on the other days so resting is not a big priority. God would rather have me clean my room or finish projects that get in the way. At least he helps, God can crochet like nobodies business.

Things don't change

Sometimes I think I am Jesus. Maybe its because I can see through the smoke and mirrors of a lot of things. Maybe it's because I am still wondering why the nations of the world can't get along? Why they must play cat and mouse. "I am working on Nuclear Weapons". "So what? I will shove this size 14 cowboy boot up your ass". ... I don't get it really. They all just need to smoke a bowl and get over it.

Where does Iran even get it's money from? Oil?

It's scary times, but I'm not worried. There is a bigger picture and each and every day the odds grow in our favor. America needs less dependancy on foreign materials and substances. I'm not just talking about oil. Just look around.

Wouldn't it make sense to all work together? I mean this fighting between ourselves has gone on quite long enough don't you think?

There should be a website to sign up for global citizenship, and every member promised to live by basic rules and pledge not to harm another human being, not to take up arms against another country because the boundaries are fake, invisible and void. We would all be citizens of the planet and all guaranteed the same rights. It's kind of like taking the power out of the tool, or taking the bullets out of the gun.

Of course we'd have to have some taxes. Maybe a universal 0.05% for the first 1000 years or so which would be used for government upkeep and humanitarian efforts. It'd be totally voluntary of course, and the government officials would work for free in exchange for basic needs and a place to live.

I haven't got all the bugs ironed out yet, but it makes sense.

I have one SNPA and now I think I can reinvent the wheel.

Weekend Roundup

It seems that banquet stye brunches were all the rage this easter. Instead I went to a nice steak house with my fiance' and her father and wife. A great time was had by all. I think the steak house receives credit for having a crumb sweep for the table while they prepared our to-go boxes and check.

I have this great idea for futuristic lighting. Soon I will make a nice prototype and post pictures to my flickr.

Nothing else is to spanking new.
