| somethings,
what a cool day it has been. this morning my bandmates and i put on our photography faces and had our pictures snapped by our friend jaki good. jaki led us all over chillicothe to some really neat spots that i never would have considered photo worthy. we found ourselves next to or in graffiti, train tracks, abandon buildings, not so abandon buildings, and staircases lined with bird poop. i think she snapped close to 600 pictures in total- some of which can be found on her website www.jakigoodphotography.com. later in the day after the photography session had concluded i traveled up to columbus to visit my friend pat parsons. a few weeks ago pat was stung by a bumble bee and has been on quite the medical extravaganza. he was in a coma for several days and then unable to stay awake other than brief moments of time. however, pat has beat the odds and is now recovering at dodd hall at ohio state university medical center. this evening i had been helping pat to relearn how to answer his cell phone. pat has a motorola phone that is the flip style, which has been a challenge for him. however, around 8pm when his wife called he was able to flip the phone and answer it when his wife amy called. what a cool moment.

geesh, quite the absence from xanga. while mowing the grass a few days ago i thought about my xanga page. and later i thought about it again. you see, while mowing the grass one can allocate thought process to any matter, not because there are restrictions of thought when not mowing the grass, but the process of mowing the grass doesn't take up much of one's brain power- thus leaving room for other thoughts. and filling my other thoughts was the matter of xanga. a comment was made to me that blogs are so "yesterday" and services like twitter are so "now". true. i think the value of twitters is great, however, one might say little can be expressed because of the 140 or 160 character limit. on the contrary, others might say there is great value in conciseness. i say, i like twitter. i like xanga. i tweet more than i xanga, but in a long term appraisal, i value my xanga much more. why is this? i'm not entirely sure, but i would contribute part of me siding with xanga because of it's ability to serve as a catalog of my lengthier thoughts. certainly i don't use my xanga as a megasite for "deep thought" however, it is an outlet for me and i enjoy inputting bits of my life onto the site. as i've said before, in time i look forward to seeing a catalog of some of these thoughts. all of that to say, xanga, i'm back. sorry for not showing you love- but it's all about choice and freedom.

| i,
entropy is a stong word, but is more articulately expressed through "a gradual decline into disorder." yes, that's it. entropy. some are named laban. i am named entropy. i need guard rails, but most likely a car seat.

| glory,
day 2. not to be emo, but day 1 and day 2 kind of feel like one day. this morning mom got her second iv after a few failed attempts from two other nurses. i turned my head through the process, but it sounded like it hurt a bit. throughout the night several nurses were in and out checking on her. in about an hour she will go off for her first ct scan to determine what these spots on her liver are, but first she has to drink some berry flavored berlium. she's told me it is super nasty tasting and has the texture of a thick milk. once mom is off to her ct scan i'm headed to pick valerie up at the airport. hopefully today will end with relief.

| this,
for nearly the past six years i've worn a livestrong bracelet in memory of my friend matt jones' mother who passed away from leukemia in 2004. today this bracelet takes on new meaning as i sit in room 960 at the james cancer hospital with my mom waiting to undergo tests on her liver. earlier today she went to have a routine check up on her heart and the ekg revealed several spots on her liver. her cardiologist, dr. fraker, then admitted her to the james. from this point, the wait begins. it's quite unsettling, unnerving, and overall an unpleasant situation. and i'm not even the one in the hospital bed! but my mom is. my strength, counsel, best friend, and support. the one who has nurtured me when i've been sick, happy, unsure, and always been there in my life. it's one thing to visit a hospital and think of the lives, stories, and families who are battling illness or fighting for recovery. it's another thing to be living it.
is,
life | | |
