Naproxsyn, Theragesic, and a Tall Glass of Knob Creek

...slowly disintegrating my liver...

Remember back when I started this blog and I wrote about pain on this post? Of course not, none of you regulars like, lawryde, members of BIO, The Kevin Show, Donegal Express, Lingo Slinger, Michael the Archangel, my wife and her sisters, Tina, sometimes Neil and numerous others I am probably forgetting that will frag me for not including them, oh and Kurt (sorry man!).

And the title of this post really has to do with pain. I'm freaking in pain today. I cannot squeeze my hands tight, my fore arms hurt and so do my, toes, back and my neck. I went golfing yesterday for the first time since October where I had 2 birdies and 2 pars on the front nine in Hawaii and I still shot a 103. I don't wanna believe it's the golf causing all this though. (I am writing this as "Gotta Serve Somebody" by Bob Dylan is playing on the iPod, lol) I keep thinking it's something more.

Still, I'd press on golfing or even typing like I am doing now but damn, this crap hurts bad. Maybe it's work or some crazy stress from it or the baby on the way or because some liberal pissed me off on some other blog or something. Who knows? I can't play the guitar or the 360 right now. I even have lost patience on the training module I am building for my customers right now, even though they'll all be happy when I bring this out later this month.

The funny thing is, the only reason I am writing this post is because if you take Naproxyn, which is basically glorfied Aleve in horse tablet form, you aren't supposed to lay down. I thought of some nice quip on how I embraced Universal Healthcare paid for by the United States Government and tax payers. How everything would wonderful? Rich or poor, black or white, there'd be no pain because we'd all have this wonderful health care program like Europe to save us all. It'd be run by Cindy Sheehan, the Princess of Darkness and there'd be rainbows and it'd all be wonderful. People would still hurt though and you'd go to the doctor who'd only give you drugs to make you go away just like they do now. But I talked myself out of writing that post because it wouldn't work without jack all of our taxes to insane amounts, rich or poor, black or white.

I'll leave you with a classic:

Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

(J.C. Fogerty)

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been coming for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain on a sunny day
I know
Shining down like water

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?

Coming down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
It's been that way for all my time
Till forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow
I know
And it can't stop I wonder

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
