...I haven't left the house since Thursday!
 
I'll be able to fit in my skinny jeans soon!
 
Can't keep any food down. I've just been drinking Smart Water. I heated up some chicken broth. Can't read for any length of time. My head is woozy. Nose all stopped up.
 
I lay here staring at the ceiling trying to figure out how it's possible that I could have gotten sick with all the vitamins I take, all the sanitary sprays and lotions I use, the antibacterial soaps, the veggies I eat, the hot showers I take, the Listerine I gargle... I just don't get it?
 
I have met quite a few people lately, so I have been shaking a lot of hands. The Swine Flu is everywhere here! I was just told by reliable sources that I have it now.
 
I can't imagine where I could have gotten it though...

...I can't believe my body can hold all that's been flying out of me in two different directions. I think I may have lost some internal organs.

 I ache. My head is throbbing. Fever. Eyes blurry. Ears ringing.

 Yesterday at lunch, before the violent vomiting fits, I had a horrible nose bleed in the parking lot. I must have drained a pint! I can't believe how bright looking the blood was!

 Am I falling apart?

 Can anything good come from it?

...cause I repeat the same routine

 I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

 Oh, no

 Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

 I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

 I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

...I went to see "Inglourious Basterds" today with two of my brothers at a theatre less than a mile from Brad Pitt's high school, later I finally watched my DVD of "Defiance" and listened to Wagner while reading an old Nazi story from a Real Men Magazine from 1961. Well, I loved "Inglourious Basterds!" I thought the story, the writing, the cast, the sets... I just fell into it and dug it all the way through.
 
Good visiting with my brothers too! One brother said there was too much reading to do in the film and the other said he's hard of hearing so he's glad there was reading to do. Had cheeseburgers at Backyard Burgers, Skyped with a great friend, had some fudge for desert, and my allergies even let up for a few hours, so it was just a perfect day!

...history!
 
That's why it's called "His-story!"
 
This is Meg, the one holding the sign written for me, she is part of a triumvirate of Smart Sexy Bitches in Winnipeg, that includes Nancy and Faryn, who all love to get geeky guys to fall for them and then they torment them like cats do to small mice.
 
That's why the call it "Pussy!"
 
Once you know their game and don't fall for the late night drunken phone calls or love letters written after several bottles of wine in a graveyard for research purposes on horror film screenplays... ...You can have fun, too.
 You might want to believe these witches slowly gyrating their bare hips in the smothering snow, these sirens singing to you across the treacherous rocks and drowning waves, these goddesses of Harvest Home who fall in love with the male voice and then take a rusted garden shear and cut out his tongue... ...Love them at your peril. Love them and bring on your doom. Love them and be consumed.
 
Still, they're kinda sweet to look at!

 I thought about the space I'm in and it really got me down. Then I Google Mapped you to see where you are and how far away you are from me.

 You really cheered me up and I hope I cheered you up too. If I appear overloaded, it is true. I know things are rough for you. If only I could hold you. It would help me and it would help you too.

 I send this song out to you, let it be the airport beacon, I wish for its searchlight to find you and pull you in if you are traveling out of your body and visiting me in our dreams.

...want to scrounge up the used parts!

 Someday in the not too distant future we may have Fashion Designers, Genetic Engineers, and Apple build our perfect mates! They'll come with killer apps and GPS, but won't make fun of you when you can't find the car in the mall parking lot. But until then, and before I get too old, where will I find my own Bride?

...that I hope will better Mankind, but I'm really hoping I will be changed for the better!
 
I am working on something that is so different from what I've ever done before. Stretching myself. Learning new things. Exploring what I'm capable of handling.
 
To acquire these new techniques I have to play games with myself. I imagine each new skill set will be used to accomplish a secret mission. Each thing is like a different team member of an elite squad sent to assassinate a Nazi Leader and must band together and combine their abilities to succeed in the task.
 
Say for instance, I need to remember a set of passwords, codes or acronyms, well I imagine the team member is a Code Breaker deciphering enemy messages.
 
Sometimes these games help overcome the stress I might otherwise feel climbing a learning curve. Climbing that curve can be for me like David Niven climbing that clift wall in the rain in "Guns of Navarone."
 
These games seem to help me remember.

...together and I wouldn't even attempt to put my hotdog through the bottom of the popcorn box.
 
I swear! Maybe we could hold hands. Maybe we could lay our hands on each other's leg. Maybe we could sneak in some food and drinks!

And hopefully, I can convince my brothers to go see a War Movie with me in a few days:

I still have DVDs I need to watch, like "Revolutionary Road" and "Defiance" but just can't get my house in order enough to settle down to view them.

On yesterday's date in 1692, five people, including a clergyman, were executed after being convicted of witchcraft at the Salem Witch Trials. How did you honor the date? I watched this and brought back great memories, because I never missed an episode!
 

 
We have to be sure not to get caught up in any kind of similar panic or silliness whether religious or political or sexual... Just keep cool and keep a backpack of supplies in the trunk for an easy getaway.
 
When I first saw this, it was in a theatre and I was underage! Shame! It may have warped me. I remember the ticket was so expensive, more so than other films, but it may have been something like $8 at the time. But it took all my lawn mowing money to buy the ticket and pay the hooker that played my date.
 

 
Happy B'Day to H.P. Lovecraft! I celebrated by listening to this BBC documentary and having some Pulp by way of my Orange Juice.
 

 
Tonight at dinner, a couple at the next table kept chatting up the server so long that the restaurant gave me a small discount for the wait and the food was cold and awful. Now I'm so sick.
 
I had a "Brain-Glitch" I was holding my toothbrush ready to put toothpaste on it and instead squirted liquid handsoap on the toothbrush. It was an inch away from my teeth before I caught it! Is there anything remotely as weird that you've done?
 
If you were alone and saw an actual alien spacecraft and just knew it was not of this Earth, knowing how people, skeptics and the media are, would you ever admit it?
 
I think in this current climate of skepticism for the sake of fashion, or whatever, just to oppose... Even if I knew it was an Alien Controlled Craft, I really believe I would keep it to myself. It's like everything is a Hoax!
 
Unless I had some kind of object I stole from them, then I might blog about it. Video, photos, scars, implants, just seem worthless to everyone other than believers. American Scientific Magazine stated numerous times flight was impossible even ten years after people were flying in airplanes!
 
I'm not referring to "real" scientific inquiry, but in all these TV shows I'm talking about, there's a team and they are calling themselves "skeptics" looking for evidence, but it's all fashion/fake for the most part. If you've seen any of these shows you've heard them say that. The real studies, the hard working and thorough investigators, we'll never hear about because their work will be buried under the glut of these "Entertainments" and there's a trend of thinking it's cool to just disagree without cause in this culture. So again, I would most likely keep quiet about my encounter.
 
Yahoo Personals just found me 18 New perfect matches, Yikes! Who do they think I am? What mutating and genetically altering nuclear crackhouse wastedump alien breeding ground are they finding my soulmates? Oh, 15 mile radius. I mean, I know I'm no prize, but Dang!!! The Geiger Counter in my pants is going off!
 
I went on one online date years ago, it was good, but I would never go out with the choices I'm being offered from Yahoo now. Besides, I'm really too old to date online. I imagine my time to find real love has passed. There's a beautiful woman I do dream about every night, she has my heart, but I don't believe she's real.
 
I'm not really looking, I just never closed that Yahoo account and I still get their spam. I figure love is like trying to grab water in your hand. It's illusive. You chase it, it goes away, you want it, it never arrives, you can't force it. You just have to be happy with yourself and be still and true love may find you.
 
But I doubt I'll believe it when it comes for me, I'll think it's some horrible prank, a scam, a hoax!
