Yesterday I had the worst migraine I have ever had in my life.

I got my first migraine way back in 7th grade, coincidentally enough that is the same age that my dad got hist first one. Yes I got a lovely gene or whatever from my dad, and because of that I have headaches all the time, luckily enough though they usually are not...

June 27th was and still is a good day.

First off Mom and I woke up around 7 for me and earlier for her so that we could get over to the doctor's office an hour and a half away from here. Roads were good even though it was blowing like a bastard out there. Got the Doc's office and it was pretty busy since...

This year the democratic nomination has come down to...

I loved this show the first time I went through the DVDs, loved the movie Serenity, and will sit in front of...

Quick update on the things floating around in my head

Took my dog to the vet as she had an abnormal amount of crud forming around her eyes, much more than usual, and her eyes were a little red and puffy.

The Stupidity of it all.

So the last few days there has been talk from the politicians about putting a holiday on the gas tax for a brief period of time so that all of us struggling people can save some money. Now in theory this may be a good idea, except for the fact that gas prices are so inflated right now that the...
