My trick for most terms...do all the Computer Homework/Projects during the first couple of weeks ;-)

Ok, I've gotten random bots and the occasional fake person emails, but this one was...different. It seems that someone in my friends list has a friend that decided to checkout our friend's list and made their way to my page. Apparantly they didn't like something or whatever, but the short email exchange below occured and that was that. I guess this person just has too much time on their hands or something which is a shame. I did checkout their page and found that, beyond this interesting opinion, this person would have been an interesting one to chat with. I saw quite a few common interest that could have fueled conversation, but I guess they're not up to it or any sort of open-minded and/or educated conversation. I'm sure their smart and have potiental to do great things, but it seems they have more to learn in life. If you're curious which friend or friend of a friend it is, then don't bother because those who could/should know already do or can figure it out on their own. There's no sense in rubbing anyone's nose in the dirt over it.

************************************************

ok, and I should be affected by the opinion of someone I don't know, who obviously doesn't read blogs to know that A) they're used to assist a medical issue, B) doesn't happen to think that a person may have friends who visit the page that grew up in a manor that makes using the true words personally offensive, so they are excluded, and C) should consider themselves officially blocked for being an under educated asshole. Unless you'd prefer @$$ho!e.

I'd suggest re-reading the user name you're apparantly looking at cause you must have missed a character somewhere.

if you're gonna post a message with naughty words..... just fuckin type them, don't use ****'s

The following videos are VERY important to watch. If you've ever gotten a headache, had something weird happen medically, memory issues, told you have MS/Fibro/Lupis, then you need to watch these!!!

Music change:

This song came out when I was around 7. This was probably the most change filled year ever and has alot of emotion tied to it. The first major change was that I had just hit 7. We moved to our first overseas post shortly after in the Phillippines, Clark AFB. 13 days before that Xmas what we all thought was finally going to be mom's baby girl turned out to be a bouncing baby Brat :-p. As a method of smoothing over the move cause I had to leave everything I knew, I received my first voltron. It was only the rubber hand held size, but still neat to play with. The beginnings of a long line of physical breakdown. At this point in time, I cannot trace back any farther the 'Trigger point' of my Fibro. In the next few years we were there, I received most of my major childhood injuries. This could well be the 'trigger' point because of them. Anyway, this is also the time when I felt the most free-minded and was realizing my mental potential. I'm sure there's more to throw in here, but this was actually supposed to be a bulliten and now I wanna save it :-p.

Ok, so everyone else puts one of these up for FYI purposes...

1) I add people as friends for any reason from neat tats, amuzing profile content, and of course general appeal;

2) I blog in spurts and rants;

3) I try not to bulliten my blogs, but it happens;

4) I've forgotten the important thing I was gonna add here;

EDIT: 4) I periodically reset my friends list based on how often I've talked to everyone since the last reset. It is NOT my favorites list;

5) I need better/more/not taken by me pics;

6) Expect ANYTHING to come out of my mouth and/or any other mode of communication! It's up to you to tell me when to stop...sorta like the waiter with your wine;

8) I skipped 7, but most won't notice;

9) I will be busy as hell until the month after I move to FL, so delays/forgotten things and/or events are to be expected;

10) You bored yet;

11) I could keep going, but will you really read;

12) I bet you will;

13) If you've gotten this far then you've been sitting down for atleast 69 seconds ;-);

14) Ok I'll stop;

15) Just as soon as you ask me to;

16) Do these pants make my new ass show;

17) My ass, not the other end you perv;

18) I need help remembering bands n stuff I used to listen to, so send me info..."need input";

19) I still need info from my other blog requests;

20) Goodbye is NOT in my vocabulary;

21)

MY COMMENT ON A FRIENDS BLOG. I FELT IT NEEDED A WIDER EXPOSURE.

SUBJECT: BEING FAT

heh, at this point there's not much to add, but comming from the opposite end of that line of thinking...I enjoy my size(somewhere between 3-6) and I've had the battle of dropping towards 100 during extremely high stress times. I guess my way of thinking is that there is a proper range of sizing for everyone that is unique based on their own genetics, not that of their family or others their size. I know for a fact that I will probably never go over 30% of what I am now, but at the same time am always scared that I'll get sick and lose 30% in a week. There are dangers on both sides of the equation and you just have to realize that nomatter your size/weight/etc it is possible to look great. The best way to keep it up is to avoid the following kind of activities:

1) sitting in front of the tv, non-moving, for more than 25% of your waking hours/day;

2) eating way more than you need(if trying to not gain) and drinking mostly things like pop/soda, high caffeen/starbucks(hurts heart in long run if more than 3xweek), high sugar content items;

3) any activity that's haphazardous to growth/regeneration of the body. Normally I point to things like excessive alchy, drugs of Any kind, and smoking;..

4) high stress situations;

All that said, I know that a good chunk of our population has been introduced into #3 in stress situations and that you just can't help but get into stuff. Something that I guess not many people realize in our country is that the American Diet has moved into a High sugar intake, High fat, High Cholesteral zone. If you think I'm full of it, then look at the stats for Diabetes, Obescety, and heart related issues from 1980-Now. It's not entirely a personal thing that leads to it, but more like a country wide trend. If you don't believe that there's sugar in everything, then look at how fast females in particular are physically maturing! When the body senses some trigger like the high sugar levels we get from say McDonalds kids meals and Cereal, then it says "hey, its time to get her ready for motherhood". A similar thing happens to males, only its more internal or chemical. At this point I'm starting to sound like someone in their 50's, but that's what I get for being a sponge to random usless info :-p.

I guess the point of this is to realize what makes you feel You and go for it. So long as it doesn't make you look smaller than me or bigger than some of my relatives, then you'll be good. Personally, I prefer a swimming routine for my weight training(now medically my only allowed activity) as often as you can do it. You'd be surprised how easy you can get those arms and legs to look more sculpted/'normal' and how good you'll feel. If you wait a couple months I'll even show you what I do, but I wouldn't recomend everything :-D. BTW: You still look great in your pics, even if they are aimed a lil low ;-).

...Well, I do every now and then when I feel things closing in on me. I've only had a couple panic attacks since 2k2 and have learned to 'sense' them comming. This, added to the ability to control my emotions better than most, allows me to calm things down before they become overwhelming. The bad thing is that I've had two in the past month that have been...difficult to control.

The first was when I took my 4-day housing evaluation down in FL. Everything was goin great until we got to where we were staying. I was sorta goin through it while we hung out in Orlando, but it wasn't apparant until I was left alone to sleep. I just got this huge surge of negativity and extreme isolation. I've felt it before when I've gone to places that I probably shouldn't be, but this was different. It felt like I couldn't actually trust the environment in that city? Almost like my senses were on high alert when around most the people/places there. It was gone the next day so I took the quiet time while driving to meditate on the source of this and found that it was my 'gut' instinct. This has never been wrong in Any of my situations in life, so I guess there's something about that area that I should remember to keep on my toes about. Well, that and to visually memorize the geographic area around OBT. Bloody street signs....

The second one is actually still going on and I can surely point to its source. For the past week or so I've been working on my financial balancing act that I seem to be good at...atleast when it comes to pulling things outta my ass to solve. It would help to read up or find out my 'history' when it comes to college and its expenses...not to mention what life can do to screw with you. I've managed to probably get approved for my Federal Consolidation Loan, the whole $10k it is, purely through the personal credit standing I have. It was good to hear, but things are still 'in process'.

Now, the result of WSU booting me from college the second year resulted in me temporarily losing my ability to file for Federal Aid. In rolls the FA office at WSU with a solution...how about some REALLY high interest and worst you could ever choose Private Student Loans. Now, back when I was under the assumption that they were trying to HELP me I went ahead and signed up for them. Now that I'm a grad, from Sinclair mind you, ALL of these loans are trying to pull blood from a well that doesn't exist. IF...I could pay these all off Today, then I'd get away with a mear $46k. But we all know how that goes...Of course I've started looking at the overall picture and yelled WTF!!!!!! These loans suck sooo bad that I'll have paid just shy of $100k UNLESS...I can pull money outta my ass somehow.

Ok, so alot of people pay that much for school...doctors, nurses, PHD's for NASA...but do people that end up with barely enought transfer credits to jury rig an associates in arts and science through multiple alterations of a simple program? So yes, I've spent $60k-$130k in student loan money for a generic two year degree. I'm sure most of you have heard the sob stories and cry me a rivers, but that's the way life has led me the whole 9 years I have been here.

So, 50 credits to the first person who can guess as to where the latest attack is comming from? Oh yes, if I forgot to mention...I require a cosigner to get that Private loan consolidated. If anyone knows me and how much I've fought to remove my parents from the obligations of my life, then just throw that into the equation as well...k.

Ok...so that was school, but "are you still moving to FL?" That seems to be at the top of the list for questions for a few weeks. The simple answer is that I have to! The moment that the car entered the air currents and moisture filled habitat of FL my body became filled with energy. Mind you, I'd been driving for over 700 miles at that point virtually non-stop. It's been almost 10 years since i've been in this environment. The same environment where my immune system overpowered the strongest of afflictions. Hell, I grew back a finger, built muscle, and drew purer energy from the sun in. I realize I'm small compared to most, but this body absorbs any form of energy it can find AND all sources of water as a form of insulation.

Although the body was in pain for being in one position forever, side effect of my condition, I was quickly overpowering that sensation as moisture revitalized the joints and muscles. Knees that would want to collapse here were reinforcing themselves and achy areas were becoming less painful. So yeah, I'd have to say that my original feeling that moving to this area was a good idea. Atleast for the purpose of recovering this body that's been basically falling apart while I've been in ohio.

If you can't tell, my mind is fairly tired at this point so I'm losing focus a bit. The summary of result for the FL trip is simple...plan B: move with friend into 2br appt has failed...back to plan A: find as CHEAP a place you can so you can pay off these bloody debts. In this I had initial luck anyway, but having  a familiar face around was a nice idea. Now that things are back as they were before, I've been getting alot of offers/options. The original idea had to be slightly altered to allow for more options, but the results are livable. My best ones put me at ~$400/mo rent and util. Not bad considering that is pretty close to what I've got now.

So, how goes the move prep then? Well, the house is more vacant and about ready for the major overhauls. I've got several hundred square foot of painting inside, about the same outside, new toilet to install, kitchen plumbing to replace, ~800sq/ft to have steem cleaned, 2 kitties to find homes for, lots of things to sort and or trash. Oh yeah, I also have to keep working my 40 hrs, eat, sleep, and not go insane.

So there...I'll let you figure out my fun, but atleast I still have the will power left to keep me from collapsing under the pressure. I let it get to me once and I'd have to say that was about the most naked feeling in the world. To have no visible future, realize that your support group has shrunk to nill, and that there's really not much you can do on your own about it.

Well, time to copy this before posting...since this server has a habit of losing an hour's worth of thought.

ok...its been a while since I've talked about this to anyone, but I'll bring it up again. I've been trying to come up with some design for a tatoo, this being the first. What I've decided to start with is a variation of my name-sake. Obviously this is the SN that most everyone knows me by and since its grown on me I may as well let it stay on me. That said:

The Tat will be an artistic version of

Pyromethious

on most likely the shoulder level of the back, but no lower than the elbows

For those of you that Have ink:
I need some technical ideas from you.
Where should I go.
Anything I should expect/ask for.
How long does it take to heal.
How does it affect showers etc

For those of you that Draw:
I need some Inkable ideas of how to do it.
I'm thinking a gothic font.
I'd love colors, but don't know how that works with skin.
Orientation and general arrangements would be good too.

Thnx everyone

OMG, he actually made a new blog!!!!

Actually I've made several blogs since the last, but crackspace likes to crew up after I've typed a page worth of meaningful text. Anyway, for those that are not aware I have a pretty extreme case of Fibromyalgia. Extreme in the sense that I have just about everything related to it possible except physically deformed(ex: malshaped hands as in cases of R.A.). That said, I've been trying many things to see what will help me cope with it and perhaps fix some issues like memory, or lack there of. Back in 2000, I had purchased a Palm-like PDA made by Compaq called an IPAQ for use at work. I was a manager at Kmart at the time and it was really useful, especially those 80hr weeks when I needed something to listen too . In a last ditched effort(final solution being a 24/7 secretary) to keep my sanity I replaced the one I have with the one listed below (see link). Unlike most people, I actually use 80%+ of the functions available and know what they are.

So, the point of the blog...

I'm looking for suggestions on software, companies, stores, etc for PocketPC compatable stuff. On top of that if anyone has any information to assist with the actual medical condition, then I'll gladly take that too. I'm on my second kind of meds right now(changing soon) and still need some learning.
