v. tense 2day. My pal Mister Eden, whom I've known on th Internet for over a year but will be meeting for th first time this Saturday in New York City, advised me 2 relax me batty. Well, not me, specifically, but all of us. Unclench down there, he said. For health reasons. Th stress levels of people in modern post-industrialized nations or

DON'T CLENCH THAT PELVIS!

Think of the children. And the frequent urinary symptoms.

[betchka]

No, they're called kegals and they're a good thing! It ensures you won't pee your pants when you're older*

(*well, not as much anyways)

that be KEGELS, m'love

[westbaymonument]

...and they's 'specially good for female fuck-making muscles.

Mom teaches Pilates, talks about navel-2-spine a lot.

I learnt that if you use this

It's even more amazing because Mr. Eden tends to listen to what is ostensibly the most relaxing music on the planet, always. And he is in a full-time relationship that should provide more than adequate levee for his nut-juice. I suppose there is a certain level of paradoxical engagement that must occur, though, in some kind of Newtonian way, to maintain the proper order of stress and release; without that tension and its resultant velocity and direction, we wonder where the fuck we are, anyway.

Your hand let you know where you were. My back tells me.

clap clap clap clap

my hands always know B4 I do. They remember piano songs when I don't. They know th mushrooms is hitting a full hour B4 th rest of my body. And always, always, they know when I ain't living right. I swear they got their own brains in there.--mza.

P.S. re Mister Eden: metal therapy, doctor?

You guys are like Iowan farmers! "Ah kin feel it in mah bones!"

I say the new two-finger technique can work to your advantage, junior. Maybe you should enroll in A's School of Kickass Typing! I write for a damn LIVING, dig, and I still don't need all ten of my digits. Bang bang bang! Shock and amaze friends with two fast fucking fingers!

hmmm

[piedpiper]

but does that really keep the CT at bay, Andrew? maybe you'll just have two (three) crumpled and arthritic fingers in another year or so? one never knows. i'll say this much, though: ben gay is like an aphrodisiace to some.

"some", that is.

[disorganization]

i had no idea you'd held a job in a semi-legislative capacity. hmmm. here's the part where i say: interesting.

i still like Pearl Jam, usually when i'm feeling nostalgic.

drink some tea and clear your head, my friend.

sucking th tears back into yr eyeballs

diego Muhlach introduced me 2 th song "Nothingman", years after th album on which it appears had been popular. His bruddah Miguel had jest died in a mysterious accident, and Diego told me he had indulged his feelings of grief by playing th song over and over agin. Ah never got Pearl Jam but (indulging my own borrowed grief) ah nearly cried there anyhow.--mza.

Have you ever thought about getting the voice activated typing software? My friend had a broken wrist and she used it to IM and email and stuff and said it works pretty good.

I didn't understand panic attacks at all until after I was attacked and had a couple while riding the train. I literally felt like my bones were going to jump out of my skin and my heart would pop out of my chest and take off like a supersonic jet. I can't imagine living every day like that.

hurm, outlook not so good

[westbaymonument]

How wud he type words like "th", "aso", "thet", and zo on an zo forth, dog? Problematic, I zay.

Re: hurm, outlook not so good

[fuckingalfresco]

Not so problematic because the user programs each word to be typed according to how s/he likes it.

Maybe the voice activated stuff has come a long way in the past two years, or maybe your friend was able to afford the really good but really expensive one. The pedestrian variants which weigh in at $100 or less are a real pain in the ass to get working for you. Every time you have a stuffy nose, sore throat, or anything that may vary your speaking, you have to completely reprogram the beast. I used it for more than a year and for classes; I'd personally rather use the computer far less and type with one finger when I need to use it.

oh, and and and

[westbaymonument]

There is some stuff that is said on these here internets that would seriously make updation at work not-so-good, yeah?

[westbaymonument]

Fucking with the flow, as Andizzle so wisely pointed out to me, is a good thing at times. I love to do it, on purpose or not.

Cool yr jets, darling, and let me know if I can do anything for you (now that I'll be nearby...whee happy moving time).

trying to sleep a lot

My post-graduate education has most definitely included beer studies. You name the flavor, I'll buy the lambic. I am a doctor abusing my own medicine.
