Well, I don't know how much better this will be.....

I told you when I started this whole 'post every day for a year' that I'd have some lame posts.

Last night's was lame for 2 reasons.

Firstly, I was having major back pain. That always fucks up anything I want to do. It's been on the edge of going out for about a week now, and it's edging into the danger area of total meltdown.

I've literally spent a week on my back when it's at it's worst.

Secondly, as I was in the throes of said disabilting pain, I had visitors.

We drank some beer and played some COD:4, and I was in pain the whole time. They left, and I was trying to find some respite when I remembered that I hadn't posted. It's a mark of my dedication to you all (or a mark of something at least) that I hauled my broken ass out of bed to post.

Oh, here's a tidbit:

My tat's are itching.

That's not a news flash, nor is it unexpected, but it doesn't make them itch any less. It's maddening. I mean, there is a simple solution.

Well, I suppose there are two. You can scrach, and pull the ink out, thus fucking up the entire process, or you can slap the itchy area, and that usually works as well, if not better, than actually scratching.

Well, I'm not a scratcher, but the other solution has it's own problems.

Firstly, being where they are, it's difficult to get to get a good swing at them. Have you ever tried to slap the back of your upper arm?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Secondly, the location presents a problem in and of itself. Remember how worried I was about the amount of pain that the tat's would bring me given the number of nerve endings in the tricep area?

Yeah, well when you slap them, it's no fucking walk in the park.

So, I'm given the choice of suffering through the itch, or inflicting moderate amounts of spot pain upon myself.

In case you care (yeah right) I've been opting for the suffering.

Ok, so there you have it.

It may not be much better than last night's post, but it certainly is longer.

Buenos con queso,
