This morning, I had an appointment with a "Primary Care Physician" here in Eugene, so I can have one in Eugene, and one in Fort Collins... for the purpose of monitoring my medication. I mean, God only KNOWS what I'd be like off my medication!!! Oh, wait. We did that... I'm 95% normal. And sorry, Doc. (Bugs Bunny munching a carrot). That 5% crazy?!? I'm afraid that's here to stay. ;) You guys can't drug that shit out of me, unfortunately... for all involved. LOL! Heh.
In any case, having "Docs" in 2 states makes me feel kinda like a child with divorced parents who are fighting over custody of me. OH. Wait. That ALREADY HAPPENED FOR REAL in my life, when I was about 7 years old... Yeah, at least there's no way I can go through THAT one again! LOL! Always look on the bright side of life, eh, Monty Python?!? ;) Even if you're being crucified at the mo'...

Anyway, before we left, Dave suggested (intelligently) that we leave time for MORE THAN one cigarette. During our "Smoke Break", he called me on the fact that I have a "new renegade personality". I disliked this at first, but then felt suddenly BAD-ASS when I remembered the sweet ski-porn movie by the notorious Warren Miller entitled, "Off the Grid". HELLS YEAH, I'll be a renegade, Dave!!! IF I get to take my shitty-sweet snowboard down some "sweet-shit" like they do in that movie...! ;)



I couldn't find the clip from the movie where they play this song, but try playing it alongside THIS clip from "Off the Grid" with this one on silent. For a cool synchronicity (which I JUST discovered), start the second one first, then press the sound button to mute, then start the FIRST video. LOL! We're nothing if not practical people, YOU people and I. ;)

As a side note, ALL I can think of, really, when I'm snowboarding, is 1.) "I wanna go fast!!!" (Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights) and 2.) The Foo Fighters song "New Way Home", which is RAD, and which I was introduced to via Luke Bloch and Joel Clancy. Tip o' the hat to THOSE boys. :)

Goooo... The sick old people who hang around health clinics in the morning are SO depressing. Eww. ;) Okay, YES, I WILL be old person someday, but in the meantime, they smell gross. And they ALL seem to wear old greasy compression bandages on their legs. To stave off diabetes? I don't know!!! If so, STOP EATING THAT JELLY DOUGHNUT I SAW YOU CHOWING DOWN ON IN THE LOBBY!!! What was it Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore (played by Robert Duvall) said in the movie "Apocalypse Now"? I believe it was: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning". Well, Robert, I HATE the smell of OLD PEOPLE in the morning!!!

"Apocalypse Now", directed by Francis Ford Coppola

Clip from the movie script:

[while flying in a helicopter with Air Cavalry soldiers]
Chef: Why do all you guys sit on your helmets?
Soldier: So we don't get our balls blown off.
