So the aftermath of a vasectomy is this: the procedure itself is not bad. It's intrusive and uncomfortable, but even a small tattoo is way more painful. What sucks is the recovery. It's kind of like being kicked in the balls over and over again with nothing you can do about it. And the stitches on my balls are still oozing and a little bloody....

Tomorrow I get my vasectomy. I'm told it should be relatively painless, except for the needle to inject the local anesthesia. Yes friends, I am awake the entire procedure, meaning that I will "feel" the guy pull out the tube, cut it and stuff it back in. I should also feel the stitches. But, it apparently does not hurt, I just feel the pressure. Yuck....

There is, apparently, no limit on "our" intellectually-challenged President's ability to fuck up. Seemingly minutes after the plan to place the security of our nation's ports into the hands of a foreign country (never mind that it's a Middle Eastern nation - it could be Canada, it would not matter, you just don't give national security secrets to foreign nations) comes the news, and accompanying...

Don Knotts died. Man, that sucks.

Why do I write this?

First off, it's hotter than Hell, literally. It's the last day of September and it was 103 degrees at 6 PM. Goddamn. I rode to work a couple days ago and by the time I got there, I was SOAKED in sweat. I froze my water bottle the day before and not only had it melted, but it was drained and into my gut by...

I'd be excited except that it's going to destroy the Texas coast before it gets to us. Some fat fucker from the Heritage Foundation or National Coalition of Scientists Paid off by Oil Conglomerates was...

9/11 Bike Ride

Remember when Bush tried to explain why were attacked on 9/11 four years ago? "They hate our freedom" is what he told us. On today's anniversary CNN reported that discussions regarding the building of a monument to be built at the WTC site were underway. The monument would be something called the "Freedom Museum". Meanwhile, some Pentagon knuckleheads took a break from...

Over the last 2 weeks my world has changed in so many ways. It's surreal at times and just irritating at others. I plan on writing up a little blurb about my trip out to Texas sometime tomorrow (if internet access is finally installed in my apartment). I'll be writing about my new job and location and some of the more entertaining experiences I have...

"Blowout" is on TV. Man it's bad.

First random bike conversation:

I get to the bottom of Pershing Road, this big hill I have to ride down each day to get to work. I am at a stop light on the right in the bike lane. To my left are a lot of cars waiting for the light to change. A guy on a motorcycle...
