Well, well, well

Well, it turns out that I have ulcers in my stomach. I went to the hospital on Tuesday, they did their thing, and they found multiple ulcers in my stomach. I am on Prevaid now, and also Carafate, so good times. I am feeling a little better, but still not like myself. My grandma, who is a nurse, said that the Carafate will allow me to eat whatever I want again, eventually. I sure hope she is right, I'm 20 years old, and this kind of shit is ridiculous at my age. I wish I knew what caused the ulcers, then I would have obviously stopped doing whatever it was. Most of my family says I worry too much, and that is what caused it, but I just don't know. I was looking around the Internet, and it said that ulcers are not caused by worrying, but worrying can be a contributing factor.

In other news, I'm sure you've all heard about the whole Terrell Owens-Nicollette Sheridan controversy that happend before Monday Night Football. If you haven't, check it out here. I really don't see what the big deal is, but leave it to the Media to make a big deal out of it. Don't you just love the logic of the Media. Gee, I know, why don't we play the clip over and over, that way we can show the world just how horrible the clip was! Meanwhile, millions of people, who wouldn't have seen it otherwise, get to see it! Fantastic, and everybody is okay with this? I mean, I didn't have a problem with the clip to begin with, but you don't hear anyone, at least to my knowledge, crying foul on the replaying of the clip.

I guess most people are mad because the original airing of the clip was during prime time, but I guarantee you, I guarantee you, if you watch some of these reality shows, you'll see much worse, in terms of tasteless entertainment. I mean really, everybody is okay with people transferring insects into a bowl on Fear Factor, and yet, some people are worried about a clip that didn't even show anything? To me, people partically eating insects if far more tasteless than that Monday Night Football clip, in more ways than one. Listen up people, the Monday Night Football clip was somewhat funny, didn't show any nudity, and actually did a good job of promoting Desperate Housewives. Although, it had nothing to do with football, but I still don't see the problem.

I attribute the controversy to a bunch of religious nut jobs, soccer moms, and retirees in Florida (which I have renamed the Dumb Fuck State, instead of the Sunshine State) calling up ABC and complaining. Some people have nothing better to do with their time. Well, I should talk, here I am writing a post about it! Anyways, my point remains the same. Listen up people, we have bigger fish to fry. We've got a war going on Iraq, and yet, people continue to keep their focus on things that don't really matter. Every time a dumb ass news story like this comes up, there is less time devoted to the more important news. In closing, I would just like to say that the American Media is a big joke, but I'm sure most of you already know that by now.

Well, that is all I have for you tonight. I was looking for the clip of the aforementioned Monday Night Football controversy, but I couldn't find a website that has the clip. If you haven't seen it, just watch the news tonight, I'm sure it will be played a million more times between now and five minutes from now. Anyways, good night everyone.

  1. Do you eat a lot of tomatos, or other foods high in acidity? I've got a friend who is 30, and he has had to cut out tomatos and orange juice because they wreak havoc on his guts.

    Glad to see they've got you set up with some medicine. Take it easy, and stop drinking all those highballs :-)
