I have had absolutely nothing to write about lately...I swear, my head's finally emptied out...

Everything I think I have to say just seems so...so done...like I've got nothing original to say...nothing to share...nothing worth your effort reading my useless babbles...

But I don't think it's just my writing...I've been floating around in a daze for a good while now...not quite knowing what's going on, but not fully out of it...I don't think I've had a meaningful conversation of substance with anyone in a good while...

So I think I'm gonna call it quits for a while...think things through and really get a bearing on what's going on in my head and in my life at the moment...

Watch yer step on the way outt...

Grr...This whole new Blogger set-up and it's new fancy schmancy new templates suck...they make me feel as though my template is lacking...damn you bastards...I think I'm gonna hafta change my template to incorporate these spiffy entry titles they now seem to have...it'll be all oooh...and ahhhh...

So for a good while now, I've been meaning to go out and get a new pair of glasses, but the glasses-selling-man was all like, you should get a new perscription first as you're due for an eye-exam, so I was all like, alright, sounds like a fantastical plan...

But my soon to be new eye-doctor man (my old one retired) wants a referal letter (why exactly? no idea...), so I had to go to my normal doc for a check up...and now he wants me to get some blood tests, but he did get me the letter, so whatever...but now that the stupid trip is comin up, I can't get an appointment until AFTER I come back...which hella-sucks cuz I want a new pair of glasses now cuz wearing my contacts all the time is annoying...

I can't wear my glasses, cuz they're a good couple years old...and the last time I got a new pair of contacts with a new perscription, I neglected to get a new pair of glasses as well...so I can't quite see clearly at far distances with these current glasses...

But whatever, I was kinda okay with my slightly blurred vision at times (not so much while driving...compounded with heavy rain, an inability to see far-off things is slightly frightening on the highway)...but what goes and happens? my glasses broke!

HOW? No Frikkin Clue...I woke up in the morning, and the spring in the left arm had snapped...so now my glasses aren't quite on right and when I tilt my head forward, my glasses fall right off...this makes for soooo very angry...so now I've gotta wear my contacts ALL the time...

Grrr...it's a good thing I'm vain, or this would annoy me more, hahaha...

So yeh, apparently, my uric acid levels are unusually high...my thyroid is fine though (they thought it wasn't, which is why I had a blood test in the first place), but now I'm stuck with high uric acid levels...

These so-called 'doctors' have informed me that high uric acid levels are a result of high protein intake...apparently my levels are so high that they felt it necessary to ask whether or not I am currently taking protein supplements...so that's prolly pretty high...

So what do I do about this? I think I should stop eating so much meat...cuz frankly, I do eat alot of meat (I don't think THAT much...but apparently so), so that's the plan...I'm gonna cut out meat from my weekday meals...leaving only Saturdays and Sundays...no meat whatsoever...ugh, this is going to be difficult...

And no...this will NOT be construed as a form of dieting...I WILL eat enough to maintain my weight...cuz for the first time in my life, I'm no longer clinically 'under-weight'...it's not my fault, I'm just not a very big person...

Bah well...the point is, if ya catch me eating meat, slap me...not hard though, I bruise easily...

And that's that...until next time, this is uric acid boy signing off...g'night and watch yer step on the way outt...

It's unreal how weird it was watching that last episode of Friends...

These are characters we've watched and grown up with...I can't believe that it all started 10 years ago...we were kids, quite literally children...thinking what games we'd play at recess...wondering how we did on a math test...packing up after school to go hang out at the park across the street...

And now it's all over...

I can still remember this one time, in grade 8...Friends had already been on for a year, and everyone kinda already separately watched it on their own...but one day, Ivan comes up to me and asks if I'd saw Friends last night...so then we get to talkin, and eventually a couple other people come by, and I think that was the first time I remember us mentioning that one day, we were kinda gonna be like the Friends group, and we tried to figure out who'd be who...

So, I dunno...I'm incredibly nostalgic right now...and there's no one up to talk to, haha...I guess it woulda been fitting (and yes, I know...stupidly sentimental) if we kinda got together as a group and watched it end...

And what's more fitting? that it ends just as we're starting to go our separate ways...beginning of course with Rene and Cam spendin the summer away...

It's odd how all it takes is a TV show ending to help, once again, put things in a little perspective...

I'll Be There For You, 'Cause You're There For Me Too...watch yer step on the way outt...

- Lyric of the Moment -

Updated (06|14|05)

"There's a moment in my mind,
I scribbled and erased a thousand times,
Like a letter never written or sent,
These conversations with the dead,
I used to be a sentimental guy,
Now I'm haunted by the left unsaid."

Ben Folds - Sentimental Guy
