I work in a rehabilitation center for service-members injured and amputated in the current "conflicts" in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What kind of inspiration are they looking for?

4) Explaining where my girlfriend is. ("oh she's great! really happy now! we broke up about a year ago because I was neglectful and neurotic while i was finishing my thesis... oh, you didnt know i went to grad school?" conversation once again turns to my brother..."oh yeah... Decker is finishing up his dissertation for his PHD, happily married and just bought a house on Skye")

Top 5 wierdest dreams I can remember right now.
1) I owe a guy named Jeff who plays center for George and Erics basketball team some money and im wandering all over Oakland trying to find him.
2) Im riding my bike at night across the moon or near the moon or something then somehow;
3) Im a flying jar of Furukake (asian seasoning) flying over a city (Im not joking here. It was really really weird. I made stir fry last night).
4) Im hunting in a Lake with my friend Randys dad and there are Moose swimming around us, and we were trying to find somwhere to camp. We started to set up camp in the water. (I've never been hunting, I cant say whether I would really want to either, but I will go fishing here and again).
5) Im swimming at night with a bunch of Bat Rays at the bottom of the ocean with this giant yellow spotlight shining around. (I had this one when I was a kid. It was pretty cool because i was breathing under water, but actually, I wasnt breathing very well and I woke up either intentionally holding my breath or having stopped breathing or something).

Top 5 Worst Feelings (before)
- You just rolled your ankle.
- You are about to throw up.
- Watching any scene of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
- Jumping in the shower and realize you left your towel in the other room, and you have guests over.
- That moment when your alarm goes off and you debate whether to hit the snooze or get up. And by the time you've made your decision, you have to get up anyway.
Top 5 Feelings (after)
1) A long run / intense workout
2) A hearty meal
3) A hearty deification
4) A warm shower
5) A rejuvenating nap
*The feelings after brushing your teeth and shaving can also be included within the warm shower.

Top 5 Must Eats at Must Eat Places After the Bar
5. A corn dog and onion rings at the dodgy drive-in stand in east Oakland that George brings me to. On the occasions I've been, I have been both happy with my meal and also have feared for my life.
4. Lugsilog at Lourde's in National City. Be sure to bring a person of filipino heritage if you want prompt and expediant service. Also beware of skanky middle aged filipino women and black navy sailors.
3. A California Burrito at any Santana's Mexican Food locations. No explanation needed. Probably the best burrito I have ever had. Has been there for me when my ex-girlfriend's broke up with me.
2. Deep fried macaroni and cheese triangles at Holman's. One of Portland's don't sleep joints. It's the only place I know that has this. It's so good. But it's so bad because it's just down the street from my house.
1. Breakfast Burritos filled with hashbrown sticks at Del Taco. This has been a post-bar staple for me and my roommates for over 4 years. We have had many deep, endearing, drunken conversations in the del taco parking lot while chopping these bad boys down. It's more nostalgia than anything.

Top 5 most painful places I've had a zit
4) The edge of my lip. I dont remember specifically when the last time I had one of these little buggers show up, but they're always an unwanted/ unwelcome guest.
3) The one under my mustache. not much i can do about this little asshole. hurts like hell and i cant even see it.
2) Inner thigh. I've had these immobilize me for days.
1) My eyelid. This was horrible. So horrible in fact that I had to lance it. Think about this for a second. I had an EYELASH follicle get infected so badly that I had to heat up a needle and jamb it into the thinnest piece of skin right next to my eye ball and squeeze an inordinate amount of puss out of it (where was it being stored? my eyelid is the thinnest part of my body). Good times.

Top 5 ways to crap up your stuff
2) Duct Tape. The thing about duct tape is that if you see something with duct tape on it, it means that the owner doesnt have the know how or common sense to fix it properly. HUGE theft deterrent.
3) Bailing wire or string. Bailing wire is far crappier than string. I especially like it when its begun to rust. Makes you think you're gonna get tetanus so it takes things a step further from crappy to dangerous.
4) Soap Scum. I remember all of my friend Jimmy Leary's star wars toys had soap scum on them because he played with them in the bathtub. I was always weary of actually touching them.
5) DISASSEMBLE. Go ahead and take it apart. Putting it back together is kind of optional. Have you ever seen a house with someone on meth living there? Well I certainly have, and talk about crapped up through disassembling. I grew up a few miles from Lakeside which was the meth capital of the world for a while. After taking apart their cars, pulling the copper pipes and wire out of their houses becomes a priority.
