Yesterday I met with my PCP and had him x-ray my right ribs and left foot to make sure nothing was fractured. They have been bothering me since the accident and I wanted to make sure nothing was a miss. Turns out they were fine. They just have bruised and inflamed tissue around the joints that should take care of themselves in a few more weeks ( Read more... )

This is the third, and final part of a three part post on my views of the soul and immortality. I suggest that if you haven't read the previous two posts that you start there before attempting this one. I know it's long, and I will be surprised if many read all three of these through to their completion, but again, I write these more for my own ( Read more... )

For those of you just tuning in, this is the second part of a really long train of thought on the existence of an ‘immortal soul.’ It will make a lot more sense if you read part one before jumping into this post ( Read more... )

Last night I had a fun little discussion with wewearthemask regarding the concept of the soul. I thought I would try to expand upon my thoughts a bit here, and as this post got a little long, I guess I will continue it over the next few days ( Read more... )

A friend of mine found my live journal online yesterday and called to say "So, I read your live journal...who the fuck is that guy?" I had to laugh a bit. To many, I come across as just your average vapid clubkid. They expect me to only know about fashion, house music, bar gossip, who slept with who, and where the next cool party will be. Don't ( Read more... )

Tonight it will have been 2 weeks since my accident. Since that time, I have left my apartment three times, once to meet with a doctor, once to hire an attorney, and once for my surgery. Other than that I have pretty much been lying in bed with my foot elevated (plus the occasional trip to the bathroom). Luckily, I have friends that are willing to ( Read more... )

Okay, well my last two entries have generated some very interesting discussions. Those have been fun, and mentally challenging. I like that. For some odd reason they seemed to spark another train of thought in me as well. Growing up a fundamentalist, I was repeatedly taught the concept of 'thirdness'. It went something like this, in life we ( Read more... )

So, I grew up hearing all about thing like spiritual gifts, grand designs, purpose in life, being true to your self, finding your greatness, living a meaningful life, and all of the other standard platitudes. Strangely, my take on these has had a similar pattern of development to the one I experienced with religion (and many of my beliefs on these ( Read more... )

Well, I'm not sure what to write today. I'm tired of writing about my predicament, so I guess I will just babble until something comes out. It's almost like I'm a different person right now. The Chris that walks to the gym, goes dancing, has wild sex with hot boys (I wish), drives, etc. seems almost like another person since I cannot perform any of ( Read more... )

Let's see, I had my surgery on Thursday morning as scheduled. I showed up at the orthopedic surgery place at 6 am, they had me out cold by 7 am and by 9 am they were waking me up to get me ready to go home. I was back in my own bed by 11 am. The metal pin they drilled into my ankle hurt a lot all day, in fact by nightfall it was almost unbearable ( Read more... )
