Month: April 2007

  • One of the sad consequences of a herniated disc is that my right lower leg is numb due to the damage of the nerve root. The numbness can last for a few weeks to a few months.

    You know what this means?!


    It means....


    I HAVE A INVINCIBLE LEG!!

    FEAR MY IRON SHIN OF WRATH!!

    KICK IT ALL YOU WANT! I FEEL NO PAIN!

    man rehab is boring.

  • you know, I just realized they didn't have any bears at this year's Ringing Bros Circus.

    the coolest animal was this maltese doggie that can do super fast three consecutive back flips. Its not good when the coolest animal in the circus is the one you see everyday. Unless you are Chuless like me. Then you get real depressed.

    the circus must have some kinda PR committee cause I think they finally realized the traditional clown with the pale white faces and deformed bald heads were scaring the heck out of little kids (and adults), so now they have flesh-colored ones with cement afros that fall in love with pretty acrobats. They however, still have the ability to fit inside a car the size of a kitty litter box. Freaking' clowns.

    to prevent church burnout and stress, pray often and visualize your brothers and sisters in this way:

    Then you will fall in love them all over again.

  • My surgery went well! And I get to take highly addictive controlled substances!!

    After the procedure I was surprised that my doctor prescribed Vicodin, a narcotic pill made infamous by House MD. I have to admit its almost kinda cool, knowing I will be flipping the same pills of one of my favorite characters.  But,why do popular heroes on TV and media always have some type of bad habit. Marlboro Man and his cigarettes. Sherlock Holmes and his pipe. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Homer Simpson with their beer. Why can't we have a cool hero that drinks skim milk. Or be a salad addict. Or the compulsive need to help little old ladies cross the street?

  • Jean Reed



                 Jean Reed lives at the Rivington House, a assisted living home, just around the corner of the New York Chinese Alliance Church. She frequently comes with her friend, Gary (pictured left), for the Sunday worship services. Jean said she loved the worship music and being in the beautiful sanctuary. Jean has known the Lord ever since she was very young. Gifted with a wonderful voice and a desire to praise God, she joined a choir that was formed at the Rivington House, where they also sing in other churches and also for public/social/health advocate events. For the last two months, Jean's health gradually deteriorated, and was unable to go to church or sing in her choir. But she was also known to be very brave and strong, and would try to hide her pain. On the night of April 10th, Jean went home to the Lord. She is survived by her daugher and three grandchildren.

    Viewing will be today, from 5pm-7pm at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church 58 West 135 Street. A memorial service is currently being planned for her at the New York Chinese Alliance Church.

    When I first saw this movie in 1999, I wasn't in the 911 system yet. Now that I bought the DVD and seeing it again, it was amazing how I could relate to this character.

    -he works mostly night shifts
    -he appreciates the drunk calls more than the traumas. (When you are new, all you wanted was traumas). Drunk calls are less complicated and emotionally testing.
    -he thinks we are not there to "save lives" (only God can save lives), but most of the time we are there just to bear witness to a passing of a loved one.
    -he had a partner who performed "faith-healing".
    -he had a partner who is a trauma junkie and extremely over the edge. This partner also carries a retractable baton and 3 different kinds of chemical defense sprays.
    -after working for so long he forgets how to connect with regular people in an authentic and personal way.
    -he looks like THIS after a while:

    though Nicholas Cage looks much better then I do with facial hair.

     

  • An old blog that I never got to finish, This was 2 years ago when I just came back from a cruise....

    A few days later, Christy sent me an email with this attached picture of Chu Chu:

     

    Thus I become quite moody and so begins my reign of terror.


  • No, I am NOT checking out Richie's butt.
