Hugs and PBR

This is a text conversation that I had with someone that I thought was worth sharing.

Me:(slightly drunk) Why do we hug? What does the action represent? Are we trying to become one with each other? Why do some hugs mean nothing yet others transfer warmth, love, lust, passion, ....love ? Why do we hug?

Her: Hugs are good. Its human touch, its knowing we're not alone, its the warmth of two bodies, it can be comforting or comfortable or it can be tense with passion. We hug so we can physically know what we cerebrally understand, that we're one part of a whole. We hug to feel connected.

Oxycodone and Kurosawa

I recently got knee surgery and was given Morphine and Oxycodone. I'm afraid of the Morphine so I feel in love with the Oxy(It likes to be called that...it told me).

So here I am feeling no pain and watching Akira Kurosawa flicks. Narcotics and Samurai's ...who doesn't do this !?

Q&A

Q: Are you suicidal?!

A: Only in the morning.

You Got Mail /Druggie

This is a 2 part post

Have you ever noticed that you can block spam on your email accounts and never waste your time with wading through forwards from people wanting to increase your penis size, Viagra on the cheap, pictures from people you don't know (only it be an scamware or a virus) or countless adds for products you don't need. Why the hell is my real snailmail mailbox full of this ...shit!

FULL!

Living in this day and age there must be more trees killed than ever before just to print this stupid crap. Dominos is having a special on pizza ...i don't like your pizza!......Big 5 sports is having a sale on Columbia jackets .....thats cool I guess but I don't need a new jacket.....I will take a look at your fishing lures though. I wish I could put a spam folder in my mailbox

On another note I got my bike back and I rode it to Red Hot movie night last night.

One of my good friends and co-workers is a drug addict. I mean hard into it Morphine, Ketamine, Valium. He was caught in his room in Afghanistan with a needle in his arm and empty vials of Morphine on the counter. I guess he was on a 3 day bender. He is such a smart and brilliant man. He is one of the smartest "Medics" I've ever worked with. He was getting out of the military to attend medical school and I had no doubt he would've been a brilliant doctor. I have to pick him up from the airport and drive him back to the base where he will be confined to the barracks. Due to the fact that the drugs he was caught with were the controlled medications assigned to his unit. He cannot go home to see his wife, his dogs, his family. I have to guard my friend as if he was a criminal and a deviant. He needs help and friends to be kind and understanding not to nail him upon a cross and crucify him. Feeling as a pariah myself I will not shun him like the military so often does. Insulate not isolate. That is what they taught us in prisoner survival, resistance, and escape (SERE)school. isolation is the quickest way to death. He needs help and we will give it to him. This is becoming a problem more and more. Another really good friend came home from Afghanistan and begged me for anything to take the edge off. I didn't do it instead I talked to him about what happened. This war has to end we need a break or we will surely break.
