| two quotations i heard today that I appreciate:
Friendship's love is far superior to eros (romantic love), b/c it seeks nothing in return.
-paraphrased from Aristotle
"If you truly loved yourself, you would never harm another."
-The Buddha
In efforts to keep me semi active, my mother and I have been conducting private Yoga sessions while Enya fills the room w/ pleasant, nondescript, ambient music. I keep forgetting to breathe, and tend to lose my balance more than i used to, but I enjoy the time w/ mom. Plus she takes it VERY easy on me. Child pose, Cow pose, Cat pose, Eagle, etc. Just the basics.
Have you ever farted during yoga? It's just about the world's most conducive activity toward passing gas.
If our class was comprised of anyone other than me and her, I might feel guilty about letting them go. Can you imagine you were sitting in the row behind a flatulent Yoga practitioner. I doubt you could relax, and you certainly wouldn't want to continue your "deep breathing".
I bet everyone reading this has farted during yoga, but made sure that it was kept Silent. This supports my theory that it's not the etiquette/consideration that prevents ppl from farting, but rather the embarrassment of having everyone know that you "dealt it". Some Law enforcement have gone this route as well. They buy billboards on highways and post criminal's faces and their crime. It might read "Keimay has not paid child support in 2 years and is wanted for grand theft auto." with a large unflattering picture of my face. Classy! here's a similar idea of Wanted Posters on the Interstate.

| Update:
I've been feeling a great deal of pain lately, which is why i havent posted in so long. Doesnt mean I havent thought about tons of stuff to write about. Sometimes the guilt of not getting my thoughts down hurt me as much as the abdominal discomfort from cancer. (although now that I'm sitting here, I cant think of anything)
I've been doing a lot of painting lately, drawing, even coloring w/ Pastels which is something i've never done before. I have these amazing cravings for pickles and KFC lately. I also keep dreaming of myself playing hockey, something I may never do again.
My friend Wil sent me a video this week of myself and friends in Central Park from last summer and we were doing obstacle races at Sheep Meadow. It was stunning to see myself healthy and athletic. I have forgotten so much of my former life.
Brit Invasion:
My "mate" Jason came to visit me all the way from London last week. It was fun feeling like i was at Wembly Stadium all week, and by the time he left I was certain I could pull of a decent English Accent, although I have no confirmation on that.
Hello Punishment:
In Thailand police officers who break department rules will now have to wear a mark of shame, behold:
They will be forced to wear Pink Hello Kitty Armbands as a punishment. Dont believe me? Read the story Here
“After this policy came out, the police are scared,” said Pongpat Chayaphan, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok, who instituted the new humiliation this week.
“It will be very embarrassing to walk around with Hello Kitty on your
arm.” It is a step down from the Crime Suppression Division’s official
motto: “When you have no one to turn to, come to us.”
TV Consumption:
I'm still obsessed w/ HGTV and house flipping. It seems like that show is on 3-4 different channels and ppl can buy a house for as much as a high end automobile (in the South). I saw some dude buy a house for $90k! My friends were apt hunting in the SoMA section of SF this weekend and a ONE BEDROOM apt was going for $995k.
Impulse Purchase:
Have you or ANYONE you know ever bought anything from SkyMall?

| taken for granted
I did it again, i've been taking my health for granted like all semi healthy ppl in the world.
My few months on Chemo have been going so smoothly that I didnt even consider serious pain as part of my life (other than the 3 days following Chemo). Well, that's all over. Starting last week i've been in constant discomfort and nausea with no apparent cause. 2 trips to the ER and a few other trips to MRI locations later, it seems i have a blockage in my liver near my gall bladder. I was worried that i needed my gall bladder removed, but that was ruled out by the various tests. going back to the hospital this Sunday to fix this w/ a procedure involving a stent to relieve the blockage.
It's amazing how I completely forget what it's like being active and having a nausea free appetite.
i cant type much now, but ppl have been asking/ concerned why I havent answered my phone so dont worry! I'll be sure to write more when I feel better. I miss you all.

| Searching desperately for a Kwik E Mart near you? You should know
that they're only in a few cities in the US and one in Canada. And YOU thought they wouldnt come to Canada (You know who you are)!
Here they are
My Friend Joanne is in Taiwan right now and she reports back that it's "Hot as a mutha out here". She also sent me these pics of the cute TW Tourism campaign:
so friendly!
Big Cat confusion:
Have you ever wondered why some things have multiple names? It's been bothering me lately since i've been bedridden and I watch a ton of Animal Planet. For example: the Puma, Mountain Lion, Cougar, Jaguar, and Panther. Did you know all these animal names describe the same animal?
Saw Transformers this weekend, and I don't recommend it. It was like a 2 and a half hr. Chevy commercial. And Bumble Bee wasn't even a VW Beetle! WTF is that? Of course they made him a Camaro. stupid.
new topic:
My new favorite show and band is "Flight of the Conchords" on HBO. if
you want to hear some of their songs, check out Youtube, or watch the
show. It's funny as a pile of steaming tofu.
