It is advised to seek a psychiatric consultation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so what do I do? Go to a psyc and spend more money that I don't have and time that i also don't have. Or keep on staying up until 2-3 A.M. and always having to risk speeding tickets on the way to school?I also pondered problems with my &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineal_gland"&gt;Pineal Gland&lt;/a&gt;, which  is responsible for the production of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melatonin" title="Melatonin"&gt;melatonin&lt;/a&gt;, which is regulated in a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm" title="Circadian rhythm"&gt;circadian rhythm&lt;/a&gt;.

type='text'>Foot update</title><content type='html'>I went back to the doc today. I found out the whole process as to how the gap was filled. The chunk of bone taken from my heel was broken into pieces and mixed with a synthetic bone-like putty. Interesting I thought. That was packed into the break where the junky bone was removed. They then put a screw in until the putty oozed out in all directions. No stitches or staples, just med-bond and tape. I'm back in my "walking" boot for at least three and a half weeks. I was surprised to see the amount of swelling that incurred. I guess I just keep on going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on a lighter note, my home network had a falling out. Spent all night working on it.

type='text'>Posers</title><content type='html'>I have come to realize the fact that many people in this world are posers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you that don't/didn't know, my mom got married to day. she thought she had to be like everyone else, and get married in a church. i didnt think too much of this until we were in the cerimony and i listened to the vows and such and how everything was with witness to God. my mom hasnt been to church by choice since i can remember. she goes on chistmas most of the time, only because she doesnt want us(jamie karen and me) to think she is and athiest or whatever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my point is that there are too many posers and not enough real people. if thinking about the consiquences or what other people think is setting you off from doing somthing that you think you might want to do, fuckin do it, thats called being yourself. i dont have too many friends that stay real and arent posers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there are many other tingsabout today that have set me off, and i may or may not discus them later. your coments are much apreciated though this trying time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yeah, i am really not in the mood to hear about my poor spelling/tying/grammer. i know it sucks, live with it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

&lt;strong&gt;the ass holes sold my moms store&lt;/strong&gt;. rotten mother fuckers! the whole thing is kinda confusing so stick with me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;long time ago:&lt;br /&gt;mike and

type='text'>Secret Stash</title><content type='html'>comedy central has come up the amazing secret stash. it started with comedians who were over-obscene, they later moved to movies. now showing is National Lampoons VanWilder. those of you who dont know the art of the stash, it is where they "put *uck **it and the @$$-hole back where they belong". it is advertised as compleatly un-cut and un-censored, but when there was to be a scene with chet-icles, it just so happens to be blurred, i dont want to be obsessed, but they should follow what they say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the 1230 am showing time makes sense for obscene language, but i was watching nip tuck the other day, the one where the lady grew to the couch, and they were saying shit left and right, scince when was shit added to the list of words that are allowed on tv? george carlin used to say that the seven words not allowed on tv were "shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cock sucker, mother fucker, and tits...............and tits
