Reality Out of Sync

The flu. The first week of this month I had the joy of puking (no thanks to Grant this time /sadface) for an entire day. Between the painful spasms that wracked my abdomen and the blowing of my nose due to the unpleasant nature of vomit escaping into my sinus cavity I realized this truth: Nasal Wash is an entertaining experience.

I didn’t use a neti pot, but I had the joy (should I enjoy this feeling?) of forcing saline through my nose and into my sinus cavity. It was a slow warm prod, like a liquid finger just behind my eye which then exited my skull via the opposite nostril. I did this twice per nostril, and it’s definitely a unique experience. It was almost like drowning, except I could breathe through my mouth. There’s nothing quite like it I tell you.

I got to spend a lot of time watching television, and I realized just how much I hate day time TV. No wonder half the population of our country is borderline zombified. There is _nothing_ good about day time television. I have Direct TV, so I at least can get away from the talk shows and what not; however, I’ve seen every episode of CSI that has ever been created. I’ve never been so pleased to actually go to work.

The New Year for me started out awesome. Olive, a street which a huge Chinese business population, was littered with fireworks and all kinds of people strolling about. It was just great. I went to a temple and found a corner to meditate in while listening to the chants and prayers of other Buddhists. It was a pleasant time to be had by all.

I meant to post right after that incident, but I became ill (karma probably) and have spent the last four days not quite right. Yesterday I had the joy (and that is just dripping with sarcasm, like a bloody rag after severing someone’s femoral artery) of puking all day long. Go me!

Now that I’m somewhat better. We will return to my boring drivel. What I have lined up should be at least semi-interesting and argumentative as I tend to be. ^_^
