yup, it's been a while. the holidays were a blast and tomorrowi prolly post some high light pics up, 'cause i'm lazy right now.
i found my old rode bike frame in my dad's basement the other day and my first guitar at my mom's place. both are beat up to all hell but i think i'm gonna re-build 'em. it'd be 2 cool projects to get into and keep me busy. i still have way too much time on my hands. yup...still no job. but i'm working on it. my buddy dan's dad is a mechanic and works for septa repairing buses and what not and he tells me he can get me an IT job working for them. apparently the head human resources guy at the main office on 12th and market is an ex marines and he loves hiring veterans. (it's weird calling myself a veterans by the way. still not used to it). so hopefully that'll work out.
in other news we went through a real shitty week where just about everything was breaking in the house. the internet went all screwy and the water heater went. the water heater was a bitch 'cause the lever to shut the water going to the water heater didn't work to our dismay so we had to shut off the water to the entire house.if we didn't our basement would've looked like a set from the posiden adventure. poop. water was only out for a day, and when we got a new one in and the water turned on the roommate and myself took much needed poops....not together. our toilet isn't that big.
in more recent chronicles of me, i had my first, of many to come, exams for a small number ofthings that are wrong with my body upon returning from iraq. nothing too big but issues that couldn'tworsen none the less. this was to check my nasel passages and my throat. i've always had difficulty breathing through my nose but ever since iraq i just plainly can't, without snorting saline mist up my snout about 3 times a day. my nose just seems to be ridiculously dry all the time and always congested. odd. also, i was lucky enough to contract some weird stomach virus over there and since then i've had stomach issues and acid reflux. again, these aren't really big issues but very annoying and i'm just worried it'll get worse with time. so the exam was very quick and consisted of the doctor shoving a little camera snake thingy up my nose and down my throat. damn it sucked. it wasn't very painful but very fucking uncomfortable. ande seeing that i have narrow nasel passageways it was literally shoved up my fucking nose. the thing was about a foot long but only about 6 inches went in. the last inch to go in tho gave me a splitting headache too. all to just hear the doctor say "WOW". then she signed some paper i had to turn in at another office and that's it. no treatment or anything. i have another appoinment friday at the veteran hospital and i think that's to check out my stomach problems. i'm just hoping they don't shove a camera up my asshole for that one.
