Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
I think the following realization annoyed me today, and mostly because its true: "Life sucks and then you die".
...one can be sure of nothing until it has already happened...
I had a 330 lb man bend it backwards and it hasn't been right since...I've had surgery to get it cleaned up...I don't have any metal but it is still pretty much always swollen.
Strength training and low impact like the pool exercises have been what has worked best for me. Mainly I just want it to be back to the point where I can move laterally and it doesn't pop out of joint on me...I have to be really careful how I move.
Also fish oil extract seems to help with some of the swelling...apparently it is supposed to strengthen cartilage.
Well that is just sad...personally I always like the quote "let the world tremble as it senses all you are about to accomplish"....makes me feel a lot more powerful.

I suppose if you call being another cog in a company and a open money bag to your government accomplishment, then I see what you mean. I don't see it that way though.

Start your own business or at least find a job you like...and think of paying taxes the same as paying for any other service...did you go to public school?, enjoy the idea of a fire dept if your house catches fire?, ever need public transportation?, appreciate the military protecting us?...thats the way I think about it...I'm just paying for a service....no different than paying to have a meal made for you.
Thinkin of it that way doesn't make me feel as bad about paying taxes and like I said if you don't like your job then go find another one or start your own business.
If you can get the start up money right now is a great time to start a business as the price of many things is low right now...you just have to be able to weather the storm of the economy until more people are spending money...although consumer spending was up 1.6% last month which is a good sign for the summer...they always say jobs are the last things to come back. If businesses see people buying again then they will start hiring again....you'll find something you like.

Honestly and truly I wanted to be a paleontologist, but there isn't money in doing it. It is a job that you do FOR the love of it. You spend a lot of time digging and trying to discover (which is great), but then you frequently run out of grant money and practically have to suck some stuck up rich guy's dick to get more money to keep digging. If I didn't have a family I'd do it in a heartbeat though.

You can always get a job working for a college...I was working towards a b.a. in cultural anthropology for a long time and I'll probably go back and get it even though I don't need it...I'm just a few classes shy of it.
Several of my professors taught so they could support themselves and their love for digging...personally I'm more of a reader than digger but we all have our loves...I can at least respect the fact that you enjoy the past as much as me.

Yea when I go on a first date and tell a woman I work with animals I never mention I've done that....really its not even a second date topic....ya know actually I wait until she knows me well enough to be sure I don't get my rocks off with animals before I tell her those stories.

It's 10.18pm on a Saturday night. I'm sitting in my room trying to hammer out an essay on the liklihood of the Australian High Court unifying the doctrine of Estoppel.
There's a party on down the road. I ducked down in a break before. It's full of women. F-CK! I just want to get wasted. It'll be worth it though, when I'm a big-shot lawyer with a slutty secretary.
Edit: I just worked out I've only got 18 months until I can be admitted to practice! Eighteen months!!

Is it burnin'? Well, f-ck, now you're learnin'.
My boss has been a real d-bag lately and putting the smack down on our internet usage. I won't be posting much anymore probably.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
