Insomnia... you are my constant Companion...

2010-07-04T05:04:00.000-07:00

I am rather sick of insomnia... but i found the following video due to it so it cant be all bad.
Literal Videos. Basically its a music video in which the vocals have been dubbed over and
replaced with lyrics that describe the visuals in the video. go head and watch it,
you know you can't resist A-Ha, no one can! Muuuaaahhhhahahah!

Apparently this video started a whole new genre of music videos all by itself. I am now even more fascinated...

Literal video versions are usually based on music videos in which the imagery appears illogical, disconnected with the lyrics, and more concerned with impressive visuals than actual meaning. Most of the literal videos have been based on music videos from the 1980s and 1990s. Literal videos generally have new lyrics dubbed over those of the original video, and often include captions for better clarity. Lyrics range from references to the video editing (such as Anthony Keidis being dubbed as saying "Now superimpose on me/someone's ugly house" in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' video for "Under the Bridge"), to questioning the unusual things depicted in the video which are usually, by convention, ignored by the participants (for example the lyrics "What's happening with that monkey?/What is with this gas mask?/This is a strange library." from the literal version of Tears For Fears' "Head Over Heels").
While not all such attempts are successful, some of the better quality videos, such as the ones for "Take on Me" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" have seen millions of views on YouTube and have created a brief resurgence of the original song in the popular culture. In the concept's first year, YouTube has hosted 100 different "literal version" videos, from users all over the world, including foreign language entries.^{-Wikipedia Entry for Literal Music Video}

Amazing! and somehow i missed this? ok well, thank you Mo, a friend of mine on facebook for bringing the hilarious genre of music video to my attention... now to find a mucis video that hasnt been done yet and is just begging for this treatment! *rubbing hands together like an evilmad scientist* i am eager to get started! so much fun could be had! heh heh heh...

Waiting for the neurosurgeon..

2010-03-11T23:10:00.000-08:00

to find me important enough to schedule an appointment for me, not one to do some nerve conduction tests and say, yup sure enough "well you don't have carpal tunnels" like that was news to me or there was any doubt in either my mind or the mind of my primary care doctor or anyone else, including the radiologist, where my pain was coming from... for the record, the doctor doing the nerve conduction tests was not the idiot, he was a good doctor and even had a sense of humor about the whole thing, but it was the freaking neurosurgeon who sent me to him for the nerve conduction tests to begin with that mad me crazy. hes the one who IMHO has a major screw loose,

Dr Curtis Hill.

Dont go to him boys and girls. its a bad sign when your neurosurgeon argues with you about tbhe existance of fibromyalgia or the amount of pain you could be experiencing and says after hearing my case history, have you had tests for carpal tunnel? (oh and yeah, lets not forget about the minor tremors i swear i saw in his hands while he took notes or wrote down my case history or jotted down cartoons, whatever the fuck he did with the paper and pen while he was asking my questions, it does not inspire confidence in someone who you are interviewing about a possible back surgery to do with being inches from my spinal cord, thats my BRAIN folks! yeah enough said) I

went to see the neurologist and had the nerve conduction tests done, just to say that I took his advice and followed up and had it ruled out, the appt was next day and all, but now im left waiting to get an appt with dr Kent Michael Grewe, the dr who did my last back surgery..who being GOOD. is backed up and super busy, and it didnt help that the woman who does his scheduling was on vacation last week, . i hate waiting, especially when the pain is just getting worse... and worse.... and worse....I am going to call back tomorrow and see if we can make some headway on getting in to see him soon or if i need to get a referal for someone more expediate but still hopefully better that out good friend dr curtis hill, who i can say at least didnt waste any time by saying goodbye to me at the end of out appointment or even letting me know we were done, yeah he just walked out and yelled something to his receptionist and left me sitting there, kind of bewhildered... didnt instillme with any confidence at all in fact...

keep me in your thoughts and wish me luck...

hopefully this time around its not going to end badly, or at least any worse than it did last time i had these horrible sensations in my feet and my back, which have now spread to my neck shoulders and arms, especially my left arm... *big Sigh*

Oh and before I lose it again...

here is the best page i found yet that illuminates the gay hanky code!

there really does need to be an android/iPhone application for this dont you think?
well its in the works... keep checking back, I am going to try developing that for my first android Software and see how it goes, I have some AMAZING ebooks about coding for the google apps engine and for the Android Phone Operating system, and if i have anything to say about it, thats one thing that i am going to work on creating in my spare time and developing the chops to be able to write phone applications. it just makes sense... any other ideas of other simple applications that i should put on the list to develop?

Back in the saddle again....

2010-02-25T02:02:00.000-08:00

Well, i have been inspired by a friend, The Dragon lady, you can visit one of her blogs over Here. and so I sit down to try to catch my readers, if i even have any, (its always so hard to tell when nobody leaves comments, *hint*) up on my life and what i have been doing.

Its been a long year, one in which many things happened that i hope never occur again, but also a year in which i had some amazing things happen and some incredible milestones achieved,,,

I am very tired at this point in my evening, i spent alot of time, reading other friends blogs and putting comments out there to both friends blogs and random peoples blogs that i like to read and every now and then stick my hand in and give a twist and a spin and see what happens... and some that i felt so strongly about i just had to comment, because there was no way I could keep my mouth shut...

medical Shit:

as many of you know i am disabled and suffer from several c hronic pain related conditions, Chronic Fibromyalgia, Degenerative Disc Disorder and Cauda Equina Syndrome for a start, but lately things have been getting much worse as 5 years after my last L4-L5 Discotomy and 10 years after my first L4-L5 discotomy, i am suffering from incredibly increased back pain and bilateral leg pain numbness and tingling and the sensation of stepping on glass, (all symptoms that i experienced right before my last two surgeries, wwhat a fucked up 5 year cycle, right?) as well as for the first time the same numbing burning sensation that i have had in my feet and legs is happening in my hands and forearms. so they had me come in for a dual MRI, both lumbar region and cervical region to see if i have disc degeneration in my cervical region as well that could be causing the new symptoms.

So now i wait to hear the results from the radiologist and see why my pain suddenly went from a daily 3-5 to a daily 7-9. ( on the 10 bunny rabbit pain scale of hell, one bunny rabbit being a stubbed toe or a splinter, and ten bunny rabbits being the most excrusiating pain you have ever felt in your life...) well, by the time i got home today i was at a 9 and counting, had to double up on my pain meds and i wonder if my current pharmaceuticals arent cutting it anymore... what will? do i go to the pain patch next? i have heard alot about the Fentanyl patch, and it perhaps being the next logical step in my pain clinic process...
But then i find this and some of it is scary, but most of it sounds like it fits me to a T, so i wonder, does anyone reading this have any experience with the Fentanyl patch? when Methadone and oxycodone stop taking working to keep your pain at a manageable level, what is the next step? where do i go from here?

I found the following text at this page and mind you I am using alternative healing methods as well and taking supplements and vitamins and chinese herbal remedies, i have tried many different pharms and tons of other things and feel like im reaching the end of the therapy options available to me, that is scary... but go ahead and read this:

Public Health Advisories (Drugs)
-
Fentanyl Transdermal Patch
Important Information for the Safe Use of Fentanyl Transdermal System (Patch)

FDA is issuing this public health advisory to alert patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to important information on the safe use of the fentanyl transdermal system, also known as the fentanyl patch (marketed as Duragesic and generics). The fentanyl patch is a narcotic (opioid) pain medicine applied to the skin for treating persistent moderate to severe pain in opioid-tolerant patients who need to be on a narcotic pain medicine around-the-clock for more than a few days.

Despite issuing an advisory in July 2005 that emphasized the safe use of the fentanyl patch, FDA continues to receive reports of death and life-threatening side effects in patients who use the fentanyl patch. The reports indicate that doctors have inappropriately prescribed the fentanyl patch to patients for acute pain following surgery, for headaches, occasional or mild pain, and other indications for which a fentanyl patch should not be prescribed. In addition, the reports indicate that patients are continuing to incorrectly use the fentanyl patch by replacing the patch more frequently than directed in the fentanyl patch instructions, applying more patches than prescribed, or applying a heat source to the patch, all resulting in dangerously high fentanyl levels in the blood.

The fentanyl patch contains fentanyl, a very potent narcotic pain medicine. It is only intended for treating persistent, moderate to severe pain in patients who are opioid-tolerant, meaning those patients who take a regular, daily, around-the-clock narcotic pain medicine. This is extremely important because patients who are opioid-tolerant are more resistant to the dangerous side effects of narcotic pain medicines than patients who only occasionally take these medicines. For patients who are not opioid-tolerant, the amount of fentanyl in one fentanyl patch of the lowest strength is large enough to cause dangerous side effects, such as respiratory depression (severe trouble breathing or very slow or shallow breathing) and death.

FDA is highlighting the following important safety information on the fentanyl skin patch:

* The fentanyl patch should only be used by patients who are opioid-tolerant and have chronic pain that is not well controlled with other pain medicines. They are not to be used to treat sudden, occasional, or mild pain or pain after surgery.

* Healthcare professionals who prescribe and patients who use the fentanyl patch should be aware of the signs of fentanyl overdose including the following: trouble breathing or slow or shallow breathing; slow heartbeat; severe sleepiness; cold, clammy skin; trouble walking or talking; or feeling faint, dizzy, or confused. If these signs occur, patients or their caregivers should get medical attention right away.

* Patients prescribed the fentanyl patch should tell their doctor about all the medicines that they take. Some medicines may interact with fentanyl causing dangerously high fentanyl blood levels and serious, life-threatening breathing problems.

* Patients and their caregivers should be told how to use the fentanyl patch. This important information, including instructions on how often to apply the patch, reapplying a patch that has fallen off, replacing a patch, and disposing of the patch, is provided in the patient information that comes with the fentanyl patch1 [PDF].

* Heat may increase the amount of fentanyl that reaches the blood and can cause life-threatening breathing problems and death.Patients should not use heat sources such as heating pads, electric blankets, saunas, or heated waterbeds or take hot baths or sun bathe while wearing a patch. A patient or caregiver should call the patient’s doctor right away if the patient has a fever higher than 102ºF while wearing a patch.

FDA is asking the manufacturers of all fentanyl patches to update the information for fentanyl patches and to develop a Medication Guide for patients. FDA will provide updates as new information is available.

So thats where i am in a nutshell with my pain and medical crap, i did manage to get medicare to pay for a incredible new power wheelchair and so just in the nick of time, i got my new Jazzy GT select from Orbit Medical who were amazing to deal with and even let me use a financial hardship so they could cover the 20% that medicare was not going to cover of the cost, (somewhere around $940.oo not chump change to comeone in my shoes, let me tell you, it fefinately made the difference and a huge shout out goes out to Scott from Orbit medical for making it possible, if you need a power chair or scooter or other medical supplies email me, i will give you a referal!) so yeah its not all bad, but definately intense... and thats just one small facet of my life and whats going on with it, but since i was up tonight, not able to sleep with pain i thought i would start with that. Next Time, on reverend purrv's Confessional, I will talk about some of the other amazing things that have happened to me and my amazing GF and what i think this next year might hold in store for us if i can help it!

thanks for reading, and as always if you read this, please leave me a comment and let me know you are out there, it always makes a difference to be writing and talking to an audience, not just keeping a journal, not that there is anything wrong with that, its just a clown craes an audience... and boy, sometimes i feel like a fucking clown...

til tomorrow ( i hope, thats my plan anyway, and im sticking to it!)

An Amazing Photoshop Alternative!

2009-11-02T17:44:00.000-08:00

I dont own photoshop for the PC or Mac anymore,

the version i used to have is sadly out of date and the

CD has gone missing into the abyss...

but then I discovered:

http://www.sumopaint.com

It is basically a free Photoshop clone that works completely online...

you can sign up for a free account and use the online version,

or upgrade to Sumo Pro and get the locally installed version of Sumo Paint

and some other benifits and extras for $19 a year.

go check it out! I think it rocks! All the photo editing you need on the fly,

or it can be used as a complete painting or drawing program to create art

from scratch. If you sign up for the free acount you get online image storage

as well, but you dont have to have an account in order to use the program.

There is also a seemingly robust online community surrounding the

software and a large image library of all the images and Art that people are

creating with it. Just one more beautiful example of cloud computing that is

IMHO the future of where we are headed with computers.

I like Sumo Paint because it is cross platform, (mac, PC or Linux etc.)

and it does everything people really need from an image editing program.

Whether to quickly optimise your photos, or crop and edit them for content,

before you upload them to your facebook photo album or other social

networking site etc. etc. etc...

A huge bonus is that the GUI is similar in many ways to Photoshop functionally,

so if you are used to using Photoshop it does not take a ton of time to figure it out..

Let me know if you check it out and like it, I am always interested to know

if my suggestions help people out.

Had a good day

2009-08-15T20:52:00.000-07:00

Started out with waking up and having couple of hours to get ready and go to see a couple of friends of mine, Danele and Delandus, do chest suspensions for another friends documentary. it turned out to be a great afternoon, very beautiful and a great example of the continuum on which people approach suspensions. Danele was probably the quietest and most peaceful i have ever seen her do a chest suspension and Delandus had what seemed to me to be a very intense and cathartic experience. he was able to get off the ground and get through the process with tremendous beauty, (there was not a dry eye in the theater) and I feel like it was a successful experience for all as the documentary was seeking to use this to illuminate both what different experiences people can have with the same sort of suspension and also what a tremendously varied audience would think of viewing such an intense ritual. very interesting. we were unable to stay for the discussion group portion of the afternoon, but i cant wait to see how all of this turns out...

having a light dinner at basta's and then going out to a strip club later to help celebrate with danele... all in all a nice relaxing day.

read my friend Mikes first blog post from Ghana where he is spending a month ( lucky bastard!) and i was inspired to start blogging again.

I got my new Aspire One netbook and its portability and convienience is helping to bring together all of my online worlds an create more of a cohesive online presence and experience.

A New Hope

2009-03-12T01:00:00.000-07:00

so there have been a lot of things that have been falling through the cracks while i got over having mono. ( not fun... over a month of no energy and feeling like crap and fighting nausea and random fevers and chills) and now I have so much to do to get caught up with my life and get back on task with what were my plans.
I am feeling so behind.

but the long and short of it is that is the reason that i got so lax with my posts and have not been keeping up with my art projects and some of my other tasks...
stay tuned for some catching up in the next couple of weeks!

Oh and it was my little brothers birthday on the 9th and it will be my dads birthday on the 13th. So happy Birthday to both of you! and I wish you the very best in the upcoming year. may the next year bring you all the joy, peace and happiness you can handle and may your deepest wishes come true!

Comcast impressed me today...

2009-01-21T17:31:00.000-08:00

I am a little in awe.

Mark Casem from Comcast's National Customer Operations commented on my previous post. "I hate comcast" You have to be impressed with a company that is employing people to specifically search for these kind of statements and blog posts on the web and offer to help fix the problem. (thats the only scenario i can figure out as I know mark is not a regular reader of my blog...)

So i sent him the phone number associated with my account and lo and behold someone from the executive escalations dept at comcast contacted me this evening and helped me to figure out all of my options. (thank you Mark!)

Unfortunately I still dont think that I can either afford or need all of the services that I have had with them. So first thing tomorrow i am going to see if i can get wimax ad if it is a viable option, then I am going to call the executive escalations rep back and either strip the account down to just internet or cancel it altogether.

But the customer service that this whole experience implies is pretty amazing, and I have to admit that I am impressed. At the very least I guess comcast is aware of their public image and the state of things and is very dedicated to making some changes. the Wired article must have really lit a fire under the corporate staff. I will have to reserve my judgement before I label them as "evil" or state that I "HATE" them.

i am curious what the future of WiMax turns out to be. we will see!

I hate Comcast!

2009-01-21T00:09:00.000-08:00

There was a great article in the February issue of Wired magazine about Comcast called "The Dark Lord of Broadband" by Daniel Roth one of the Senior writers for Wired.

I suggest you find a copy and read it if you can, its a real eye opener about the monopoly that Comcast has on america's internet access. I also read that according to a recent harris interactive survey that out of 60 companies, only 4 had a worse reputation than Comcast.

I have decided that i cant really afford to keep paying comcast what they are charging for internet and cable television. With the way the internet is these days, i can get all of my media entertainment online or with dvd rentals either netflix or hollywood video, or even RedBox (gotta love $1.00 movies from a vending machine) and now that Clear Wimax has moved into portland, I think it is my duty to stop supportng a company that has such awful business practices.

Really, Comcast sucks and they are expensive, go read the article if you have not dealt with them yourself. The problem is that WiMax is a new technology, and although i like what i am seeing so far, it is going to be a while before it proves itself. does anyone else have an opinion on this? read anything about Wimax that I should know about?

Qwest is just as expensive and i really dislike DSL. so Clear WiMax it is and until then i will just have to limp along borrowing my wonderful neighbors wireless, and the free wireless that is in our building. ( the free wireless could not have found a worse company as far as I am concerned, thats what happens when you purchase wi-fi by the lowest bid, but that is a story for a whole different entry)

until next time!

Enjoy the Full Moon tonight!

2009-01-11T00:15:00.001-08:00

My girlfriend pointed me to an article today on yahoo entitled Saturday Night Special: Biggest full Moon of 2009. about tonights full moon. It happens to be the full moon of the year where the moon is at perigee, or its closest point in orbit to the earth. So it affects our tides and other things most strongly. (in July the moon will be at apogee, or its farthest point in orbit from the Earth.)

That also means that tonights full moon will appear 14 percent bigger. this doesn't sound like a lot until you actually look at the difference.

That looks fairly significant to me. and considering the craziness that occurs out in nightclub land and throughout the world on a full moon ( I know this has never been scientifically proven, but I KNOW it is the way it works) tonights full moon should really do a number on people. So enjoy yourself out there and be aware that if you find yourself feeling more emotional right now this is probably at least one of the several astrological reasons that I can find for it.

There are a couple of other pages I found at www.space.com like this Article about what makes our world go "round or moon mechanics, that really struck me as being facinating. this is informationt that I think everyone should know. It really makes you gain a little perspective.

My advice? Reach out and love that special someone a little extra the next couple of days. They probably need it, and I now they will thank you for it. Tell them I said so.

TriMet ticket machine crash

2009-01-08T07:13:00.000-08:00

Well, I had to post these here for a start and then see if I could get them to someone at the Portland Mercury who would appreciate the irony...

There has been a whole rash of problems with the TriMet ticket machines in the last year and as a frequent trimet rider I was highly amused when my girlfriend brought the crashed ticket machine to my attention.

It certainly explains a lot. no wonder why TriMet cant seem to get the machines to work properly and seem to be kind of defensive about the issues even.

Maybe if they tried a different operating system they would have less problems. in my experience Macintosh OS X has much less problems with being left running for days at a time. The last time i tried to do that with a windows machine, it just kept crashing.

But that is just another symptom of a broken system. If you try to run an infrastructure on a flawed syistem, its going to keep crashing. I am willing to bet on it.

heh heh

stay tuned for more, its gonna get exciting around here :)

New directions

2008-08-26T20:05:00.000-07:00

SO I have had all kinds of new directions open up in front of me. Things I can do to take me to new places both metaphorically and not. All kinds of ideas keep running through my head, ways to take hold of the joystick of my life and head off into battle with demons both past and future. I have time on my hands now, although sometimes it feels like time is just passing me by while I try to heal from my latest flare up from Fibromyalgia, but I have so many new idea's and things I can do to enrich my life and the lives of the loved ones around me. I am excited by these new opportunities, and overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities and choices. so I just plunge onwards and upwards, and try not to speculate too much on where it is going to lead me and where I will end up. As long as I am happy and my loved ones are happy things will fall into place where they belong. Right? isn't that the way it s supposed to work?

on another note.. I am getting back into the swing of the online thing and hoping to keep my posts coming... stay tuned dear reader, stay tuned.

wow...

it has been a long time since I updated this blog, I am sure no one is reading anymore, why would they? there has been no new material in quite sometime, so my dear readers, if you happen to be reading this, I apologize, life caught up with me, and my chronic pain, FMS,head cold that turned into an ear and sinus infection and a pesky lump that suddenly decided to grow under my right nipple to the size of a half dollar in two months have kept me quite busy. (surgery to remove and biopsy the lump is scheduled on the 3oth, I will let you all know what happens, and keep your fingers crossed for me) I also helped my Friend and Ex, Desta, open her second tattoo and piercing shop, Adorn East by doing some design work for her ad's and flyers and making phone calls and such. So needless to say I have been busy. and i really have no other excuses... I will try to not let this lapse become a habit...

more tomorrow, i may post a couple of movie reviews and an outline of do's and dont's for couples with a partner in chronic pain (henceforth refered to as CWPCP) heh heh i like random acronyms with the scent of uselessness....

I now go to try to fall asleep to the movie "28 weeks later"

Feeling lucky

2007-04-11T00:18:00.000-07:00

So I have gotten some feedback from a number of people about the open letter about FMS, and i have to say i am so fucking lucky to have the friends and family I have around me. It makes a difference being able to explain to people what i am going through and have them understand in a visceral way what that really means. thank you all very very much. I like being able to be comfortable knowing that i am understood by my loved ones. and It is so nice to feel that kind of loving support. I am looking forward to my vacation at the end of this month, me and my SO are going to Vegas for the Association Of Professional Piercers Convention to help a friend out with their jewelry booth and to celebrate our 4 year anniversary which is on the 8th right after the conference, so I will be in Las Vegas for a week and loving it! It has been quite a while since I was able to get out of town for a vacation like this and it is ALWAYS fun to do Vegas with a whole bunch of the pierced and tattooed freaks that i call my friends... nothing like sin city with the heavily modified crowd! YAY! I will be taking lots of pictures and will be sure to post them so you all can see exactly what i mean!.... anyways... i am getting sleepy... so i am off to bed. thanks for reading.. thanks for sharing.. and most of all thank you all for being my friends....

Spoon Theory

2007-04-08T23:01:00.000-07:00

To go along with the last post and to give you all a better idea of what it is like to have Fibromyalgia I was sent this link from a friend of mine and it really applies to FMS as well as to Lupus which I believe it what the author is suffering from. It explains exactly how I have to go through my day and designate how much energy I have to spread between all of my tasks each day... thanks again for reading...

The Spoon Theory
My best friend and I were in the diner, talking. As usual, it was very late and we were eating French fries with gravy. Like normal girls our age, we spent a lot of time in the diner while in college, and most of the time we spent talking about boys, music or trivial things, that seemed very important at the time. We never got serious about anything in particular and spent most of our time laughing. [click the link to read more]

Fibromyalgia. - An open letter to my friends and loved ones.

2007-04-08T14:26:00.000-07:00

I wanted to write a letter to explain to all of my friends and loved ones what Fibromyalgia is like and what I go through on a day-to-day basis. This is also useful if you have someone else in your life that is suffering from FMS. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Fibromyalgia isn't all in my head, and it isn't contagious. It doesn't turn into anything serious and nobody ever died from fibromyalgia though they might have wished they could on really awful days. I can't control how often I feel good or how often I feel terrible. If you want to read articles about fibromyalgia I can show you some that I think are good. If you just want to learn as we go along, that's fine too. This is definitely going to be a process. The first step is for you to believe that there is an illness called fibromyalgia and that I have it. This may sound simple, but when you hear about some of the symptoms I don't want you to think I'm making this up.

Fibromyalgia is a high maintenance condition with lots and lots of different kinds of symptoms. There's no way to just take a pill to make it go away, even for a little while. Sometimes a certain medication can make some of my symptoms more bearable. That's about the best I can hope for. Sometimes I can take a lot of medication and still not feel any better. That's just the way it goes.

There's no cure for fibromyalgia. It won't just go away. If I am functioning normally, I am having a good day. This doesn't mean I'm getting better, because I suffer from chronic pain and fatigue for which there is no cure. I can have good days, weeks, or even months. But a morning can suddenly turn into a terrible afternoon. I get a Feeling like someone has pulled out a plug and all my energy has just gone out of my body. I may get more irritable before these flares, and suddenly get more sensitive to noise, or just collapse from deadening fatigue. Other times there may be no warning, I may just suddenly feel awful. I can't warn you when this is likely to happen, because there isn't any way for me to know. Sometimes this is a real bummer and I'm sorry.

Fibromyalgics have a different kind of pain that is hard to treat. It is not caused by inflammation like an injury. It is not a constantly in one place like a broken bone. It moves around my body daily and hourly and changes in severity and type. Sometimes it is dull and sometimes it is cramping or prickly. Sometimes it's jabbing and excruciating. If Eskimos have a hundred words for snow, Fibromyalgics should have them for pain. Sometimes I just hurt all over.

Besides pain we have muscle stiffness, which is worse in the mornings Some times when I get up out of a chair I feel like I'm ninety years old. I may ask you to pull me up. I'm creaky and I'm klutzy, trip over things no one can see, and I bump into the person I'm walking with and I drop things and spill things because my fingers are stiff I or my coordination is off. I just don't seem to connect the way I should. Hand-eye, foot-eye coordination; it's all off. I walk slowly up and down stairs because I'm stiff and I'm afraid I might fall.

Because I feel badly most of the time I am always pushing myself, and sometimes I push myself too hard. "When I do this, I pay the price. Sometimes I can summon the strength to do something special, but I will usually have to rest for a few days afterwards because my body can only make so much energy. I pay a big price for overdoing it, but sometimes I have to. I know it's hard for you to understand why I can do one thing and not another. It's important for you to believe me, and trust me about this. My limitations like my pain and my other symptoms are invisible but they are there.

Another symptom I have is problems with memory and concentration, which is called fibrofog. Short-term memory is the worst! I am constantly looking for things I have no idea where I put, I walk into rooms and have no idea why. Casualties are my keys, which are always lost, my list of errands, which I write up and leave on the counter when I go out. Even if I put notes around to remind myself normal for fibromyaglics most of us are frightened that we are getting Alzheimer's.

I mentioned my sensitivities earlier and I need to talk about them again. It's more like intolerance to everything. To noise, especially certain sounds like the television, or shrill noises. To bright lights, to fluorescent lights. To smells like fish or some chemicals, or fragrance or perfume. I also have a problem with heat and with cold. It sounds like I'm never happy but that isn't it. These things make me physically ill. They stress me out and make my pain worse, and I get exhausted. Sometimes I just need to get away from something, I just don't know how to say it. I know that sometimes this means I will have to go outside, or out to the car, or home to sit alone, and that's really all right. Sometimes when I feel lousy I just want to be by myself.

When I'm like this there's nothing you can do to make me feel better, so it's just best to let me be or offer generalized comfort and love.

I have problems sleeping. Sometimes I get really restless and wake up and can't get back to sleep. Other times I fall into bed and sleep for fourteen hours. I'm sure that's confusing to be around, and I know there are times when my tossing and turning and getting up and down to go to the bathroom disturbs you. can talk about solutions to this.

All these symptoms and the chemicals in my brain can make me depressed, as you'd imagine. I get angry and frustrated and I have mood swings. Sometimes I know I'm being unreasonable but I can't admit it. Sometimes I just want to pull the covers over my head and stay in bed. These emotions are all very strong and powerful. I know this is a very hard thing about being with me. Every time you put up with me when I'm in one of my moods, secretly I'm so grateful. I can't always admit it at the time, but I'm admitting it now.

I have other symptoms like irritable bowel and bladder pain that will take their toll on my physical intimacies. Some of these symptoms are embarrassing and hard to talk about but I promise to try. I hope that you will have the patience to see me through these things.

I have made a promise to myself and now I am making it to you. I will set aside time for us to be close. During that time we will not talk about my illness. We both need time to get away from its demands. Though I may not show it always I love you a million times more for standing by me. Having to slow down physically and having to get rid of unnecessary stresses will make our relationship stronger.

This is just an overview of what I go through on a day-to-day basis, Please take the time to realize how some of this may apply to your friendship or relationship with me and know that I am trying to find the best way to relate and interact with all of you.

Filipino Man Nailed To Cross During Lenten Ceremony
Featured (04/06/2007)

The Lenten ritual is opposed by religious leaders in the Philippines -- Southeast Asia's largest predominantly Roman Catholic nation. But it has persisted to become one of the country's most-awaited summer attractions in San Fernando City's San Pedro Cutud village.

The devotees' palms and feet were attached to wooden crosses with 4-inch nails soaked in alcohol to prevent infection after a nearly mile-long walk to the mound, each carrying a wooden cross on their backs.

changing formats a bit,,,

2007-03-24T17:28:00.000-07:00

Ok, well i am going to be doing some changing of formats over the next few days...

my beta testing and setting up of this blog has been going well so I am going to move to my new format and layout over the next week or so... one of the first changes is that my posts here are going to be much more about me writing and discussing things and I will tell you all when to check out my "Internet Confetti" page ( there is a link to it under my profile info in the sidebar) That is where I will be posting the internet clips / videos and links and pages that I find interesting and/or funny, but that I really don't have much to say about... I am going to be using this space to devote myself to writing more about my life and the things that interest me. this blog is not going to be theme less for much longer! I really do have stuff to say, so now that I kind of have a rhythm going, I will start to try and continue it, but in a much more personal and sometimes lengthy way.

thank you for your patience, and thank to the few of you who are reading this blog on a regular basis. Go and tell your friends... post the link on MySpace Page... tell people that you found something interesting here, http://purrv23.blogspot.com (when you do, or even when you didn't I am not picky :P ) I am going to start promoting it in earnest now, ( I know, who is Earnest?) and before too much longer you will see some regular video PodCasting here... I almost have my video studio set up and when it is all ready to go expect some big things...

ok... thats enough for now....

Symptoms of Inner Peace

2007-03-24T12:21:00.000-07:00

A dear friend sent this to me during a chat session when I was describing to her how I was feeling these days and what my general energy was like.

It fits. (for the most part)

Symptoms of Inner Peace

A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experience
An unmistakable ability to enjoy the moment
A loss of interest in judging other people
A loss of interest in judging self
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others
An inability to worry (this is a very serious symptom!)
Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation
Frequent acts of smiling
An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen
An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

Something to strive for, don't you think?

Ze Frank's "The Show" is over...

2007-03-22T17:12:00.001-07:00

and I will miss it a ton.

for those of you who are familiar with "the Show" and Ze Frank, you undoubtedly feel the same.. How ever it was an amazing online experiment in shared media conversation, where the character took his cue's from his audience and created a online conversation in the form of a daily video blog.

He made me laugh, and cry and get mad about current events. He is probably one of the reasons I started this blog and that I head out into the web each day to see what I can see and what other people are seeing and doing and talking about...

The shows year long archives will be available at The Show and if you need more of an explanation of what the whole project was about, or if you are completely lost in reading this post, go check out the article in the LA times about his experiment...

I for one, will miss hearing his voice and seeing what his brain was up to every day. but i can't wait to see what he does next...

good bye "The Show" ... it has been a blast!

oh and one of my recent favorite shows is here and another one is here and here
and especially here.

Thrown out of Starbucks for being homeless?

2007-03-20T16:14:00.001-07:00

An elderly woman was asked to leave a Starbucks because its employees assumed she was homeless. apparently the homeless are not allowed to drink the coffee they purchase there in Glen Ellyn, Ill.

Daily Herald | News

The 70-year-old Lisle woman was kicked out of the Starbucks in downtown Glen Ellyn a few weeks ago. She claims it was because employees mistook her as a homeless person, part of a purge the store waged to mollify customers who complained that the coffee shop was overrun with the homeless.

Just another sign to me that Starbucks is an evil corporate monster...

Lightning on Demand

2007-03-15T16:17:00.000-07:00

I found a great page about a group of scientists and engineers trying to build a lightning laboratory out in the nevada desert somewhere

Lightning On Demand

Lightning On Demand is a collaboration of engineers, artists, scientists and machinists. Our main objective is to develop an experimental facility suitable for the study of natural electrical phenomena.

The design for the Nevada Lightning Laboratory features a phased pair of Tesla Coils, 122 feet tall. The 8 megawatt twin coils will be capable of generating electrical discharges several hundred feet in length, with the goal of re-creating the essential components of natural lightning in a laboratory environment.

Sounds amazing! here is a picture of the conceptual drawing of the laboratory... and they are talking about having shielded observation areas inside of each of the top electrodes of the twin giant Tesla coils....

I want to go inside and see a lightning storm up close....!!!!

That sounds like a cool place to have sex too come to think of it....

Gps and Google Earth

2007-03-13T21:32:00.000-07:00

ever since i can remember first reading about gps driving systems and mapping systems and geocaching i have been craving one badly... but now i have found someones cooler than god solution for a do it yourself gps solution that is totally configurable solution..

GPS & Google Earth Solution - Cost-effective GPS mapping in real time
I have been doing a lot of exploring and surveying in the desert recently, and have been trying to find the right GPS mapping solution. The solution I found incorporated stuff I already had (laptop and GPS) with the help of some excellent, nearly free software. The best part is that it works even better than the $900 in-car GPS solutions as it uses always up-to-date satellite data, and is easily sharable.

Basically you run Google Earth and use some great donation-ware to link it in real time to a GPS. This means that your mapping software and maps worldwide are not only free, but you also get hi-res satellite views and in some cases 3D buildings (in downtown areas). Only a year or so ago this would have cost tens of thousands of dollars in proprietary GPS mapping gear; it would be difficult to share it once done; each map and satellite shot would cost extra; and it would have been an ordeal to get it all loaded up and working properly for each area you wanted to go.
Posted on March 13, 2007 at 05:00 AM -- Alexander Rose from Cool Tools

Its Amazing! I have love google earth and this is an affordable solution and an elegant way to get the kind of sdvanced gps mapping and driving solution that I would kill to own... its almost within my reach... if anyone has a laptop to donate or a gps unit that they bought with the best intentions and just never use, or any equipment that this solution needs *HINT HINT HINT* email me and i will get you my address :) go check out the link Here is is again!

Enneagram Relationship Profiles

2007-02-20T22:15:00.000-08:00

Growing Relationships:

Enneagram Type Seven (the Enthusiast) (Miss.Allegro)

with

Enneagram Type Nine (The PeaceMaker) (Miss.Ember)

What Each Type Brings to the Relationship

Enneagram Sevens and Nines are one of the most often seen pairings of the types because they bring a good mix of similar and opposite qualities. Fundamentally, Sevens and Nines are both positive outlook types who are optimistic, upbeat, and who prefer to avoid conflicts and negatives in their lives and in their relationship. Both types are friendly, sociable, and generally happy with themselves and with their lives. Neither is typically introspective or brooding, preferring to get on with things rather than to look backward or to stew over failures or disappointments. Both are able to forgive and forget and to make the best of their limitations, whatever they might be. They might be separated physically or have few financial means, but Sevens and Nines can make the best of these circumstances and continue to build their future together. Both tend to be practical, although both can have a romantic streak and a physicality that adds spice to their relationship. Both are also often funny and can make even the most mundane events pleasurable and pleasant. Sevens provide the stimulation, Nines the audience.

On the complementary opposite side, Sevens are more active and self-assertive than Nines; they tend to take initiatives, to make plans, to have multiple interests, and to provide the energy for the couple. Sevens are mentally quick, self-confident, curious, open to new experiences, and resilient when there are setbacks. They bring the fun, sparkle, and sense of adventure. Nines bring a sense of steadiness, support, and acceptance to the relationship. They tend to be more sympathetic and soft hearted than Sevens, as well as more relaxed and undemanding of themselves and their environment, including other people. Nines are also often generous and willing to make personal sacrifices to help others and to make them happy. Their personal simplicity and uncomplicatedness meshes well with the more assertive qualities of the Seven. As long as neither takes advantage of the other, there is a good balance between energy and relaxation in this couple.

Potential Trouble Spots or Issues

One of the main areas for potential problems is the fact that neither Sevens nor Nines are usually adept at working through negative or painful aspects of their lives or of the relationship. Both would prefer everything be kept on the positive side; neither one wants to fall into the possibility of depression or to otherwise cut off their chance for happiness. At most, they will briefly acknowledge a problem or conflict in their relationship by blaming the other: both types tend to become anxious, critical, and edgy when under stress, taking these things out on someone else rather than working through negative feelings themselves. Both types also tend to be blind to their own share of responsibility for how the relationship has deteriorated, including their own contribution to communication problems. Nines tend to collapse in the face of the Seven's angry demands, withdrawing into silence and, eventually, inaction. They become increasingly unable to make sense of the Seven's grievances, and so they become stubborn and shut down further, with occasional outbursts of anger or anxiety, or both.

Of the two types, Sevens are far more equipped to talk about whatever is bothering them than Nines, although this does not mean that Sevens are necessarily more able to face what is really bothering them much less resolve it. Sevens tend to impulsively say whatever comes to mind and to fall into excoriating verbal abuse of the Nine whenever the Seven feels frustrated. Sevens often feel that the Nine is too checked out and unresponsive to them. Nines seem perpetually indecisive, slow, and ineffectual. Sevens' criticisms and outright contempt for the unresponsiveness of the Nine only makes Nines retreat further from them and disengage from the situation. However, Sevens often feel that they cannot help themselves and that honesty demands that they tell the Nine how unhappy they are with them. One of the sunniest and most carefree couples can become one of the most hopelessly tortured if they become unwilling or unable to really talk with each other.

Enneagram Relationship Profiles

2007-02-20T22:10:00.000-08:00

Growing Relationships:

Enneagram Type Six (the Loyalist) (Rev.Purrv23)

With

Enneagram Type Seven (the Enthusiast) (Miss.Allegro)

What Each Type Brings to the Relationship

Both Enneagram Sixes and Sevens are mental types, and there can be a great deal of mental stimulation in this pairing. These two types offer many areas in which they reinforce each other, and some areas in which the strengths of one counterbalance the limitations of the other. Sevens are usually entertaining and tend to lift the spirits of Sixes. Both are quick mentally and often have rapier wits: they enjoy bantering with each other, verbally sparring and seeing how absurd or funny they can become as they push each other to more outrageous limits. Sevens are particularly good at generating new ideas while Sixes are particularly good at mastering the practical steps that are necessary to get things done. Sevens help Sixes put fear and limitation into perspective, and sometimes to move beyond them entirely. They thus make effective team members in which the Seven lays out the big picture and gets people excited about new possibilities while the Six moves in with the logistical and tactical know-how, following through with the details. In intimate relationships, the same balance pertains: Sevens are the stimulators, Sixes are the regulators—and they can keep each moving forward by allowing the other to counterbalance their own limitations.

To this visionary-functionary mix, Sixes bring commitment and loyalty to the Seven, often an expertise and groundedness that the Seven comes to trust and rely on implicitly, as well as a strong grip on reality and what can be accomplished within given parameters. Sevens bring a driving sense of optimism and possibility, high energy, a sense of adventure, and fearlessness with regard to failure. They can teach Sixes how to be resilient and how not to fear the future, while Sixes can teach Sevens the difference between optimism and pipedreams.

Potential Trouble Spots or Issues

Despite how well Sixes and Sevens can reinforce each other's strengths when they are healthy, in the average to lower Levels, the picture can shift quickly. Sixes are essentially interested in security and predictability, foreseeing problems and building procedures to prevent future uncertainty. They are aware of limitations and why things cannot be done—or at least done easily. Sevens, by contrast, are about seeking happiness and relief from increasing frustration or anxiety. They are about trying new things, seeing new possibilities and overcoming limitations. They do not want to hear about problems or obstacles: they want things to be done the day before yesterday. Sixes tend to be negative and pessimistic, while Sevens tend to be positive and optimistic.

Sevens are future oriented, while Sixes tend to be aware of the past, of precedents, and the lessons of history that would prevent things from going badly again. Sixes very much want to find someone with whom they can have a long term commitment, Sevens tend to be fearful of long term commitments and enter into them somewhat reluctantly. Sixes tend to feel that Sevens are too hedonistic, selfish, extravagant, and when the chips are down, they wonder if they can be relied on. Will they skip off to someone else or avoid their responsibilities in some form of escapism or addiction? Sevens tend to feel that Sixes are too anxiety ridden, worry too much, and make themselves (and everyone else!) crazy raising every question and objection before trying anything. Sixes oppose everything, at least at first, and get distrustful and suspicious easily. They live a life of limits and rules that Sevens feel are restrictions largely imaginary and self-imposed. In a Six/Seven couple, these two opposing philosophies reflect the very different expectations Sixes and Seven have from life and from a relationship, and unless they can be reconciled, it will be difficult for this couple to remain one.

Enneagram relationship Profiles

2007-02-20T21:10:00.001-08:00

Growing Relationships:

Enneagram type Six (the Loyalist) (Rev.Purrv)

with

Enneagram type nine (the Peacemaker) (Miss.Ember)

What Each Type Brings to the Relationship

This is one of the most stable and most common relationships. Although

both types are very different, they want rather similar things—security

and predictability (Sixes) and stability

and autonomy (Nines). They both want

their lives to be built on solid, dependable values and for good,

honest work to be rewarded. Both types tend to personify "middle

of the road" values in their time and culture, to be dutiful, respectful

of authority, and to abide by the rule of law. On the other hand,

there is a rebellious streak in Sixes and a counterculture streak

in Nines that allows some of these couples to live on the fringes

of society, to be unusual in their lifestyle and beliefs, to be

free thinkers and unconcerned about conventional values and mores.

More for Sixes and Nines than for most couples, much depends on their belief systems and the quality of their childhood experiences—andthey are looking for a partner who will mirror this, including their own beliefs and reactions. To this mix, there are also complementary differences: Sixes bring a more active mind, questioning and alert to exceptions, to problems, and to safety issues. They can be more skeptical of others and find it more difficult to be trusting: others need to prove themselves first. Nines, on the other hand, are usually trusting and unquestioning, sunny and easy to get along with. They are optimistic and steady, offering support and non-threatening acceptance. If Sixes tend to see the exception and to focus on complications, Nines tend to see the general and to focus on what will work without problems. This couple gets along well, greasing each other's wheels and adding just enough gas to the mix to keep them moving forward together. Change, when it comes, is slow and methodical. Both tend to see themselves as simple, regular people and do not feel special or exempt in any way. Both bolster the other's confidence through their solidarity with each other. They are generous with each other and do not crowd the other or make special demands. When they find a relationship such as this, it usually feels like they have found what their heart has been seeking and their dream has come true.

Potential Trouble Spots or Issues

Since Sixes and Nines find it very difficult to say what is actually

on their minds (and what they really want for themselves), there is

a great tendency in this relationship to clam up, to be silently stubborn

and defensive, and to make the other person guess what is going on.

If there is little motive to do so, the two parties will fall into

a stalemate that keeps the other at arm's distance, yet close enough

so that the other will not drift away. They may also begin to have

health problems or other nonspecific complaints about themselves that

seeks to bind the couple in cords of concern and guilt. Psychological

or physical problems help to insure that the other person will continue

to be there. Moreover,while these two types fulfill social roles very well, they both tend to disappear in their roles too completely for their own good. Sixes are

frequently burdened by guilt feelings and doggedly do whatever they

think they must do to keep their job or their security in place. They

try to make sure that they have covered the bases so that no one will

be angry at them for failing in their responsibility. Nines also

fulfill roles, but these usually have to do with mediating between

people to keep them together in some way. They accommodate themselves

and go along with what others need even as their own stress grows.

Another potential problem is that both types love the familiar and dislike change. The feeling is that familiarity equals security, which is

reinforced by the conviction that they must not rock the boat. Both

types will tend to put off confrontations until they are pushed to the

limit, although Sixes have a shorter fuse concerning their anger. They

will either give up on the Nine, or there will be an explosion in which

a backlog of pent up hostilities will be said, often to the permanent

damage of the relationship.

I found this post on Boingboing.net and loved it so much i had to share it here with you
The Japanese have a great erotic aesthetic. I so want to go tour the love hotels...

Boing Boing: Love Hotels photo book

Love Hotels photo book

Photographer Misty Ke asler's book Love Hotels documents the curious, strange, and kinky theme rooms inside the Japanese hotels that are usually rented for short times and a very specific purpose.

Inside, you'll visit the Hello Kitty S Room (image below, left) and the
High School Room at Osaka's Hotel Adonis, the Arctic Room at Snowman's
Hotel in Kobe, Subway Room (image below right) at Hotel Loire in Osaka, and
my favorite, the Alien Abduction Play Area also at Hotel Loire. Reminds
me of San Luis Obispo, California's Madonna Inn only, ummm, different.

The book's editor at Chronicle, BB pal Alan Rapp, tells me that prints
from Keasler's Love Hotels series will be exhibited early next year at
Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Photography (1/25-3/24), Jenkins Johnson Gallery (1/27-3/3) in New York City, and Photographs Do Not Bend (2/16-3/24) in Dallas.

2006-12-02T04:11:00.001-08:00

So, during my endless web searches I found this tool for bloggers called performancing, it is a firefox addon, and it allows you to add content directly from the web pages you are viewing and reference things then publish straight to your blog, so I am going to try it out since i am failing miserably in my goal to blog regularly about my web use and my daily life...

so far so good, I reccomend you go check it out, tell me what you think... (not that anyone is reading this yet...) heh *sigh*

at the very least i figure it may help me to add entries on the fly and maybe get me to start blogging for real...

more later

Comic Con

2005-10-21T21:54:00.000-07:00

It seemed like the Gothic and fetish world presence at Comic Con was bigger this year. The Brotherhood’s X-Sanguin III event was a smashing success and VIP tickets sold out way in advance of the event. The Brotherhood’s concept is kind of making haunted house-level themed parties for adults. The vampire’s ball style of X-Sanguin III was a lot of fun and a lot of people really put some effort into their costumes.

Freewheeling

2005-10-21T11:43:00.000-07:00

I found a wonderful improvisational based loop sampler that is completely open source. If you are into tech music creation at all you should check out JP Mercury's page on freewheeling. His music is simply put, breathtaking. Some of the most original works i have ever heard, very organic trance oriented stuff. and the software looks amazing. I am in the process of building a new Linux box just for the purpose of learning this software. his music is also available at the Internet Archive It takes a while to build up to its full intensity. It has definately grown on me. and the software looks like it has amazing potential.... somebody with the hardware compatibility please download this and tell me what you think!
