A very depressing post

(1.) Here are 240 reasons why drugs are bad. (Mmmkay?)

(2.) Famous last words (along with famous obituaries, wills, etc.).

(3.) Suicide notes of famous people.

In totally unrelated news, but just as depressing, my wrist hurts really bad. I'd been putting off posting about it because I was kind of hoping it would go away on its own. But it's been killing me for well over a week now.

If you will gaze now upon the man in the picture who is not me, you will see where it hurts and where it's swollen. Except it's on the other hand. You will also see a nifty wrist brace (which I don't own) and a really cool Kate-drawn belly button tattoo. Yay!!

Okay, so the real reason this picture is here is because I wanted to post Mr. Funny-Looking Shirtless Man-Dood Who Is Apparently Saying The Pledge Of Allegiance And Gazing Upon ... Nothing.

I called yesterday to make an appointment with Bourland, Paul's hand doctor. My reasoning: I'm 25 years old and my four favorite hobbies involve my wrist. I want to stave off any real problems before they start. Bourland can't see me until after my vacation (which is a mere two weeks away now). I am to RICE it until then.

But see, that whole RICE thing is a problem. I can Ice it, and I can Compress it ... but I kind of have issues with Resting and Elevating. To rest/elevate would be to give up my editing. And my gaming. And my piano-ing. And my e-mailing and blogging and other things that require the use of my hand.

... It's going to be a long month.
