Some Of The Crazy Things We've Tried (Mostly Me) Over The Years

Sooooo, the doctor looked at the Xrays of my shoulder and knee, then at the CT Scan results of my back (each, exacerbation of a singular recent event), then he looked at my medical history (past scan results). "I'd ask if you were a football player but your body's damage is EVERYWHERE!" he remarked jokingly. "Well," I replied, "I'd love to say that my friends and I were the inspiration for the movie "Jack-Ass", but I think people would never admit that we did what we did for fear of going to jail for past pranks and crimes!" "Great.  You were those college daredevils ." " Worse !  We were summer high school students!" God, I miss the old days and the crew.  We called ourselves the "E.C. (East Chicago) Cruisers".  We were the kings of practical jokes.  Before that, it was the "Alder Street Boyz".  If we weren't playing sports with/against the boys across town, we were winning the...

10 Reasons Why This World Could Use An Enema

In the Twilight Zone (1961) episode, "The Mind And The Matter", intolerant, misanthropic, insurance clerk Archibald Beechcroft detests everybody and everything they do.  So much so that when he comes across a self-help book that empowers the reader with the ability of mind over matter, he uses it to erase all of mankind from existence (shout-out to a certain movie villain who shall remain nameless).  At the end of the episode he realizes that despite their many faults, he despises being alone even more and brings everyone back.

At this point in my life, having encountered my fair share of ignorance and insensitivity (in fact, more than I care to have witnessed), now I see why! Y'all are insane! You all are insane! You people are insane! (Yeah, I said, "You people...

EOM Check-In: Health Update (March 1)

Happy March, everybody!  So glad to see you here! I'm going to ease up on you all this month because people say I got quite deep in February with my "Africa To America" series.  I take that as a high compliment.  I had a lot to say and surprisingly, only covered about  half of it.  But I managed enough to educate and change the hearts of quite a few people, so I was told.  I can only hope that they will continue to share those posts with others and my message expands exponentially by the day. Sooo, since "Bloguary" is over, I'm going to lighten the frequency and intensity this month, but before I get into it, it's time for an End Of Month check-in and health update. February started off strong, with a continued pace from January.  Unfortunately, I had a few setbacks (or mishaps) and the medical professionals had me reduce some of my activity.  The main ones being the walking and stair climbing.  I also had a few days when my eating hab...
