The Doctor's Order

That's what she said.

Apparently my doctor thinks I have a high tolerance for pain. I do have chronic pain... perhaps this is affecting my ability to distinguish the different levels of pain.

Yoga Does a Body Good

PataƱjali would be proud

Last night in yoga class, I questioned my practice. Why bother? It's a good form of discipline perhaps. Just another distraction for the mind. Laying in savasana, letting gravity take you down, it's a good feeling.

What did I learn about my body over the past year, I have really tight abductors, it's preventing me from doing the splits.

Namaste.

Two Thousand and Nine

Recession Proof?!?

I've neglected my blog for half a year. Was never quite dead, was always only barely breathing, but I was still alive, my life in a suitcase, globetrotting into a good life.


2009 Highlights:
Living a commi lifestyle in Vietnam to the Hollywood penthouse suite at the Roosevelt. Drugs, sex, and rock & roll. It's the all American Dream baby! Only in Hollywood. And only in Hollywood we held this year's Enzoani's fashion event, debutting our 2010 collection!! We make every bride's dream come true. And only in Hollywood, would the LAPD try to bust your ass for a DUI. Enough of the LA glamour, to Sin City we go. Sex in Sin City, what happens in Vegas, DOES NOT stay in vegas. From the strip to the bay area for the San Francisco treat, the wedding of the beloved sis and her beau. Across interstate lines to NYC for some east coast lovin'. Hitched a ride to New Hampshire for thy yoga retreat. Namaste to all my yogis. Found my way back to Cali only to catch a direct flight to Maui. The sun and fun, I love being a beach bum. And if you can't be a beach bum in Maui, just do it in Laguna. The summer's over, and to Chicago in the rain we go. Finally back home to end the year in the glorious hands of The Misfits!! Amen.

Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment

No alcohol, No drugs, Mental Exhaustion


It's such a violent act but when the stomach has lost control and can no longer contain, it must be forced out, released, emptied... my poor esophagus.

5 hours of bliss in the sun led to 6 hours of hell hugging the toilet. Dehydration is a bitch!

It's only the beginning of an end. Completely empty, time to rebuild, replenish the soul.

Burb...

The Fantastic & The Uncanny

It all seems strangely familiar


When a fantasy becomes a reality, the novelty dissipates. To have or not to have, that is the question.



Text Message

San Francisco, CA


My 10 year old sister stole my phone. The whole time I thought she was using it to play games, but then later I found a saved text in my draft box:


"Bye judy miss you so much love u and say HI to linda and chris for me bye love u haved so much fun with u. Thanks for helping me swim im starting to get the hang of this not that scared though. so bye talk to u guys soon love u bye. hey maybe if kathy come to LA see you there maybe so bye had so much fun see ya.

Kids are adorable.


A Baptismal Prayer

Anaheim, CA


For many many years she was not able to conceive. But by the touch of god, a mere accident led to a miracle, and 6 months later a baby was born. Yes, 6 months...

"Lord, surround this child with goodness, lead him in Your light each day; Let him walk the path You've chosen, guide his steps along the way... Teach him to trust Your wisdom and obey Your loving plan; Keep him from all harm, protect him as he grows to be a man..."
