Yeah, it's to grab the reader's attention for what is to come. It's also elegant, not pedestrian. A bus will get you there, but so will a Rolls Royce. Read the short story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut. Or watch the movie, it's probably on youtube.

That’s an excellent short story. I never knew there was a movie.

2 solo cups of barium. Stomach pain. Metamamucil. Some kinda cold or whatever starting up. Probably from my germy coughing doctor last week. Starting PT tommorow. Why is my life falling apart and I'm only 30. I know your metabloism slows down at age 30 but your health?

And why am I putting on loads of water weight

The vitamin D is helping I think. I don't feel quite as bad today physically or mentally. The slew of side effects low vitamin D can cause and then all the issues I've been dealing with is pretty interesting.

I also skipped the metamusil and my stomach feels a lot better.

Maybe I should try the gummies.

I made a post a few months ago elsewhere about wanting to try on Drew’s glasses - only to find that my new glasses are almost an exact replica of his.

Ask and you shall receive.

I'm already all "Doctor Who'ed" out, since there's a marathon of classic DW on 7 days a week. And the 60th anniversary isn't until November!

I am switching to the gummies because 3 glasses are sitting in my stomach and I've had enough. No pun intended. I just got the bottle today of the gummies.

Ya know, when people do experiments, they keep everything the same and just change one factor, to see if and how that one factor changes the results. And even THEN it could be something else they didnt consider! So just saying, sometimes it sounds like you are changing meds and diets and supplements and sugars and salts and caffeines and liquids, that idk how you can tell whats doing what.

But i am glad to hear you are slowing down the metamucil. That stuff scares me. My gut is like a delicate flower!

Anedonia. A pocketful of useful nothing; abusing space and wasting time.

I mistook Tom Kennedy for Drew today.

I think it’s safe to say I’m whipped.

I saw a guy outside the gas station yelling out of a megaphone and holding up a cross and preaching Jesus, today. Intrestesting sight.

Drew says the weirdest things sometimes and I love it cause I never know what’s going to come out of his mouth next.

How do I listen to what I really want to listen to without feeling embarrassed?

Even though I use earbuds and I’m the only one here, I’m still embarrassed and I hate it.

Just floating in the abyss. I wish I could reach a lot of people with my words.

Unfortunately, I am all alone.

Man I forgot my parents anniversary again.... and today I for sure should have remembered it and paid attention. At least I didn't say the sort of jerky thing I was thinking of saying.

Nothing like starting a new story and reading what you’ve got so far just to realize you hate most of it.
