- It's really hot and humid out. I feel like I can't breath at all since the pollen count is high too, making my nose stuffed up.

+ I don't have gallstones or anything that looks bad. I now have to go to a stomach specialist to see if I have like IBS or Crohns. I've been told by another doctor I probably have IBS.

+/- Starting next Friday, I'm going to be work 14 days straight. I could use the money, but it's really going to suck doing it at that place.

- Really annoying pain started in my back by my right shoulder blade earlier. It almost feels like that entire area is tight and inflamed. It's just annoying, not really painful.

+ Today is my Friday.

+ Payday tomorrow.

- Really need to quit smoking for good. I've been slacking and doing the buy a pack, quit for 2 weeks, buy a pack quit for 2 weeks thing for too long.

Edit: - My anxiety is coming back with a vengeance. I have had like 3 panic attacks in the last 24 hours, and my head is so foggy and out of it I was driving to the gas station and forgot what I was doing, then totally didn't remember the drive home at all. Pretty scary when that shit happens.

- Sick of this back and shoulder pain. It's annoying more then painful, but it's freaking me the fuck out that it's like something crazy like cancer or something.

- Pain is making my anxiety act up like crazy, or my anxiety could be causing the pain I guess.

- Today is the start of my 12 day straight shift, well one day I might have to miss for a memorial mass for my Grandfather.

+ Weekend

+ Now that my TVs back, can game and watch movies again.

-I just had the stupidest conversation of my life involving taxes, medicaid, cigarettes and prescription painkillers. I feel a little bit dumber but more so I feel like humanity is going down the toilet.

+ all the way to my dying day I can know that at least the dudes in His Hero Is Gone understand what the fuck is going on.

+ finally have some success with Apple/Apple Corporation. Last weekend their Genius Bar tech finally fixed my iPod Touch (even though it was pure luck) saving me from paying $150 which I was told was the only way to fix it upon my first visit. then I found out an App was purchased from my account while my computer was shut-down and unplugged...and I had no iPod Touch that worked at this point...so I went back and forth via e-mail with their support and went through 3 different customer service reps all telling me that there was nothing they could do about the fraudulent charge of $2.10. So a few days ago I e-mail them about my account being disabled, which made it so I could make no purchases (free Apps, iTunes music, ect.) which came as a result of me saying I shouldn't be held responsible for the purchase of an App if I don't even have an iPod Touch or an iPhone...so now that it worked, I kind of wanted to utilize the purchase of Apps. Got a response from them today saying they updated their policy and would be refunding the $2.10 to my account and re-enabling my account. I'm fucking stoked, I thought I was in the hole $150+tax+$2.10+time+gas to get to and from the closest Apple Store...but now my faith in Apple Corporation has been "Restored"...stoked.

+ Went to a proffessor of History's house earlier this week to pick up some records (upon recomendation of my Advisor/Director of my College) to finish up a class on 1968 to help get me back into school...and stumbled into this guys house...which is floor to ceiling packed with audio equipment, instruments, ect. Dude has a turntable/stereo set up in every room of his house except for his bathroom...we go to his garage to find the records I was to pick up from him...I walk into a library of vinyl...i'm talking 50,000ish LPs alone in this dude's garage...my jaw literally dropped. I start talking set-ups with the guy and what I'm running, he sends me home with some Polk-Audio M-Series Bookshelf Speakers/Monitors in like-new condition to replace mine (right channel's crossover is fucked and nothing comes out of the tweeter...I don't know how to fix Crossover stuff)...fucking amped...I ended up getting like 7 LPs on lone and 8 CDs worth of material for keepsies.

+ Mulched for 2 hours. I am really out of shape, and with my shoulder in pretty annoying pain, I was super surprised I was able to keep up and feel pretty good.

+/- Going to try to quit smoking again. Mulching and moving made me feel great, but I know as soon as I smoke a cigarette I'll feel shitty again.

- It's hot and humid, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a wicked sunburn (damn shitty genes giving me skin that only burns).

I pretend to bitch about working 65 or 70 hours a week at times, but then I remember that if I don't have anywhere to be, I spiral into a trainwreck of a human being by either sitting and getting depressed or going out and disappearing into something, usually drinking. I'm surprised I don't get called out by more people for doing stupid things or being an asshole, and I legitimately get surprised that people are excited to see me if I show up to a party or if I receive a phone call to do something. I feel like I would hate me if I were someone else.

My life is such a pain in the ass lately. I can't find a real job. Despite working an assload, I have no money. I quite often feel like I'm just barely keeping my head above the water. My mom, living in Boston with her sister for care, is starting to show signs of graft vs. host disease/disorder/whateverthefuck. Her iron is dangerously high. Her organs are beginning to have complications. She can't sit in the sun, fold laundry, or even stand for long. Her disability income is painfully low, so keeping up with her bills is difficult.

I wish my real friends lived here in Buffalo with me. I hang out with a lot of people because I'd rather not be alone somewhere.

I've gotten really good at being completely different people around different individuals. I can turn on my work personality, then around certain people I'm just incredibly flat and indifferent to whatever is going on. I don't listen to what people say when they talk, nothing registers with me. Sometimes I go until late at night before I remember I hadn't eaten anything. Sometimes it takes drunk munchies for me to finally get a meal. I'm surprised I don't have an ulcer. I've been unopposed to doing a lot of stuff I used to think I would never do.

My high school senior quote was a Thursday lyric from "M. Shepherd" - "The stage is set, don't forget to breathe." Taken out of the context of the song, I've always loved that quote, and it's what keeps me from narrowing in on the negative aspects of life. It reminds me to relax and enjoy what I can - there's always positive stuff mixed in. Ya know, "With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."

I've gotten very scatter-brained, probably evidenced by this post and the ramblings of the other 6,400 or so I've made.

But I come home and my dogs flip out and get excited. My sister continues to be an awesome kid and student despite very little supervision. I talk more with my mom than I ever used to. My friends keep calling for whatever reason. The house is still here. I love teaching. I love working at the ice rink. I get to play hockey a few times a week for free. I've been virtually adopted by family friends. I feel like Jeff in BTMI's "King of Minneapolis Pt. II" - I keep expecting bad thing after bad thing but I wake up in the morning and things are still alright. Life's not really that bad.

+ Pain in my shoulder seems to have gone away.

- The pain in my back is still sort of there. The muscle running down my right back still feels sort of inflamed, and it's really uncomfortable to lay on my back or right side.

- Not looking forward to the rest of the work week.

+ Going to start packing food for dinner in effort to try to eat better.

- Annoying pain is annoying.

- Really wish I didn't pick up the 2 extra days this week. Yesterday was super busy, and I'm sure today will be too, but tonight I don't really work with anyone who cares enough to work.

+ Looking for an/a apartment/house again.

+/- Looking for a new job, but not much out there plus I'll be done with school next spring so I'm not sure it's really worth it.

+ Been really fighting my anxiety as it returns. I made myself drive around for like an hour the other day in traffic to get over the freak out feeling and trapped feeling.
