1) If my blood presure lowers any more, I'm going to have a hard time walking.

2) So I'm going to gradually stop the medication, given to me by my doctor, who by the way forgot my problem.

3) Green drinks do work, and so does medition so I'll go on with my natural ways.

4) I will try to loose some weight, after Atkins I unfortunatly gaind 20 pounds over.

5) my wife is now permanantly station at a school. which gives us a sense of relief since now she's guaranteed 5 days of work.

My parents are big Joel Osteen, I had read things here and there. He seems to be a religios version of Anthony Robbins, who I use as a personal life coach. Last week while in a mini vacation, I listen to his sermon and it was interesting. What got me curios was that at the end he said for the viewer to go to a local house of worship, not for donations.


Today's sermon was even more interesting, very down to earth. Perhaps this is the missing piece in my spiritual life. I must say that I have tried many faiths, but the messege has always been lost. I'll keep tuning.

Because of continual pain I went to see my doctor, and of course my blood pressure was high. So I was given some medication, the doctor and the cardiologies didn't clear up why I had pain. I wasn't having a Heart attack and my Organ is in good shape. Weird that my BP was so high (170 over something), I personally believe it has to do with the discomfort I had. A pinched nerve, or a muscle ache that is making my blood rush faster like a water hose, but I'm no doctor. So I take the medicine. Here's the what my Medicine says.

"You must take Cozaar regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Cozaar, and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Cozaar does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control."

Well I like to say Over night my BP dropped 30 point, not possible by the medicine. I was given a second medicine that maintains the BP, Cardizem.

My pain still comes and go, and the medicine is making me feel, blah. But I paid a shitload of money so I'm taking it, at least a few more days. Hope I don't get addicted to it, I think my Meditation works better.

The term ECHO Boomers is what makes me argue with people who think this new generation is lost. This new generation which includeds my kids, is reading earlier, creating websites, able to talk at an adult level yet they are very protected, naive about the world and unwilling to hurtin order to be the number one. A team spirit, which begins at home is what these kids espects.

I have to say, that I feel horrible for those folks down south. But I am disgusted with how many of them have behaved, not the looting but the lack of self diciplie. Why sniper helicopters? why are the gangs raping? why only ask for help and not help. It pisses me off able men, not helping the helpless.

We cry that help is sent to other countries in need, but the difference is that other countries seem more human than we do. When the sunamy occured, people began building temp shelters the very next day. Granted that living in a country that depend on replacing the broken not fixing it, welfare not workfare and the ever present "I deserve" not "I create" attitute is hurting us all.

Again it's not everyone down there, but to those animals who lost their humanity.

BTW how you like France, I must say they are having the last laugh Mr. President.
