Suffering from an Infection and Muscular Knots in My Chest

    This is the food stamps President.     -Heard on the Radio

     I am coming down with some kind of chest infection. A virus probably. I have been around sick people...I mean its unavoidable this time of year and I spend a lot of time in public places like the library or on the bus. It's not the flu though I am sure. Otherwise I wouldn't be at the library right now-I would be bed ridden. Cough and body aches. I am unsure if I have a fever, but if I do, it is probably low. My muscle knots are getting worse and the naproxen I took earlier hasn't done anything for the pain. I am going to take some Ibuprofen later. The coughing makes my chest hurt (where I have a reasonably sized knot). The muscular knots aren't getting better so I have made a Doctor's appointment for next Thursday. I suspect I may have cracked ribs. They will probably prescribe me Ibuprofen and a useless muscle relaxer. I have been using Dimenhydrinate as a muscle relaxer (not what it is indicated for-it's an anti motion sickness medicine but it is an anti-cholinergic like many anti-spasmodics). BTW: Don't follow my guidelines here as medical advice for you, because I am taking risk by self treating and I am not a Doctor. Since it is my own body, I have taken the personal responsibility for myself in treating myself. I can not be held responsible for how you choose to treat your own medical problems. Always seek the advice of a Physician or competent health practitioner...even if I don't.

     A few days ago Iranian war ships arrived near America's maritime borders. I switched on FOX News Radio to hear more. They weren't saying anything about it. The media seems only concerned about the value of the Dollar ($atan), which is slowly becoming extinct. There is talk of a collapse of the dollar coming very soon...perhaps within days of now. I don't think it will happen so dramatically or so fast, but I could be wrong...I often am.

Back After a Hiatus

     Greetings. I have been away for awhile. No big reason. Just decided to take a break from the blog. Well it wasn't that really. Just haven't been motivated to write, though it has frequently crossed my mind. I have been following the flu outbreak and we seem to just be past the peak possibly. This year's epidemic seems to have been significantly worse than last seasons, with tent hospitals being set up in California and larger than normal fatality rates. I predict that next year's season will be worse than this one, but I don't think H1N1 will be such a problem in following years (at least for the United States). By that time enough people will have been vaccinated or caught the virus and built immunity to where spread will be limited by the immune. I have been vaccinated and believe myself to be immune to the H1N1 strain and probably the other circulating strains that were included in the vaccine. Shirley Temple Black has passed away at the age of 85. I believe that is the second or third celebrity death recently-and you know they happen in 3's.

     Iranian Navy ships have been headed towards American maritime boarders.

     Have you seen the film pi? I suggest you see it. I can sympathise with the main character, Max Cohen, who is a mathematical genius who is searching for a number pattern. The movie includes some Cabalistic wisdom. What I can sympathise with, is last year I took on an extensive study of scripture and prophecy looking for a pattern of sorts. I found a puzzle that the more I learned about it, the less I knew. Though I learned a lot and expanded my knowledge of scriptural prophecy, I did not find any definite answers. Just more wisdom. I continue my research of world religious writings in my never ending search for truth and GOD. It is a never ending journey and puzzle that I will never solve. But, solving the puzzle is not the important part. It is the journey and knowledge gained from it and the way I use that knowledge to grow psychologically and spiritually and even secularly. I continue to follow current events and how they relate to prophecy, but my study of eschatology is not as obsessive as it once was. For example this blog began as a newsletter and journal of the apocalypse and has evolved into an online publication relating to all things that interest me.

     A show that is a favorite of mine, is 'Northern Exposure'. My favorite character in that show is Christ Stevens. It used to be Joel, because he is a Doctor, but since I have changed for the better I find myself thinking more like Chris, and even asking myself "what would Chris do"? He is the kind of person whom I seek to be like. I am also a big fan of Ed, because both of us are studying to be Shamans, and he is also a benign and spiritual guy.

     I have been having a repeating dream lately. That I am back in High School and thinking of skipping some classes (which I never did). I also seem to forget what classes I am supposed to go to, so I seek someone from the office to get me a schedule. I kind of think the High School represents the school of life and me "skipping" some lessons I am supposed to be learning or loosing my way (forgetting what classes I am supposed to attend). There is more to the dream, but that is an abridged version. Some of the other details are privy to me. I am having this dream almost every night. Or I dream that I am stuck in a place like the mall and no matter how much I explore the mall I can never seem to get out. Door ways just lead to more mall and I seem trapped in it. I kind of think I have been experiencing sleep paralysis and the feeling of being trapped is in actuality a phase of paralysis and an inability to wake myself up. Even in the dream I get a sense of wanting to wake up. Perhaps it is a metaphor for wanting to "wake up" from this world (the Matrix), but being unable to?

Problem With Snoring?

Some Info About Snoring

     After having slept in the same room over time with people who snore, I have learned a thing or two about the problem. I have also done some research to learn more about it. Before I begin with the article I want to point out that I am not a Doctor and all the information here should be checked against a reliable source before considering what I have written here. Also, this is for informational purposes and is not meant to be used as a tool towards health care of any kind. That is the job of your Physician.
If you are a snorer, it is a good idea to get checked out by a Doctor since snoring can be a sign of a serious problem, including heart problems.

      Snoring is often a symptom of sleep apnea and many over weight people suffer from this conditions (their sleeping partners suffer too). A good idea is to keep your bed room air moist and reposition frequently until you find a sleeping position that aleviates the symptoms. It is a generally good idea to eat a good diet and cut back on caffeine. Exercise and physical activity will help you loose weight that worsens your snoring problem. Exercise can be fun when done correctly and with an open and positive mind.

Revisiting My Numerology Forecast For Myself

     A year ago I consulted a numerology chart for myself for the unlucky year of 2013 and today I am looking back over it and checking the accuracy of the forecast.

     For the entire year it predicted that it would be a time where I would achieve many things and overcome problems. This is accurate, because this year has brought with it, a time for me overcoming some problems and making some positive life changes as well as the end of relationships and the beggining of new ones. I also tried to work to help other people and benefit society. Different people may have different opinions about that however.

     In Febuary the forecast was that something would get in the way of my journey. I don't recall anything like that happening, but a relationship I was in at the time, fell apart soon after. What does 2014 have in store for me? I don't know, I didn't consult the divinatory arts for this year. So, we will just have to wait and see!

Oklahoma's Ground Still Agitated

     Broke one of my front teeth. It didn't hurt, and I figured it would go any time. Not so bad that it is gone. I kind of like the extra space for my tongue to stretch out. I'm not too worried about how it looks. You see I am comfortable with myself and my appearance. If you have issue with that, then either you have control issues or want me to become someone I am not. It has been cold as usual, and an arctic freeze is coming with chances of snow. We probably won't be above freezing again until early next week. These winter storms have been unusualy strong.

     I may be contributing my writting skills to the Norman Bahai newsletter. I have just been thinking that I need to expand my writting activities. I am pretty much broke for the immediate future and am trying to hold out with what groceries I have until the tenth.

New Year's Edition

     Yesterday was New Years Eve. I did nothing special in observance. Drank energy drinks and stayed sober. I had originally planned to attend a meeting and celebration at Norman Original Group, but was unable due to lack of a ride. I will go to one later today. I set a New Years resolution today. For the first time ever. That resolution is to quit smoking. I am once again using one of those electronic cigarettes that been banned from use in so many places. I didn't even watch the ball drop. Someone near by was firing fire works though. The energy drinks still have me up, so I am going to watch the first sun rise of the yesr. Speaking of the sun...it has flipped it's poles yesterday, after concluding it's 23rd solar cycle. I wonder if that is some kind of omen for the new year? Barbara Bush has been hospitalisedwith a respiratory condition. I wonder if it could be the flu since it seems to be hitting Texas so hard.

     Three seems to continue to be the number that is popping up. BTW three is a lucky number in North Korea, similar to the number seven in the west. The mysterious deaths of bald eagles in Utah has been attributed to the West Nile Virus. This concludes the rather brief edition for the New Year. I hope everyone is safe and has a great 2014.

New Year's Eve Edition

     It's New Year's Eve. Not yet entirely sure what I will be doing later. I ave an appointment with the National Guard Recruiter today at 1400. I will be getting a ride to his office from one of his assistants. Today 3's seem to be popping up, so 3 is the theme for the day. As well as 22 or three's happening in three's etc. Tomorrow four would logically be the theme since it comes after four, and four if the last digit of the next (and better) year. I am back on the E-Cig again. Still having some cigarette cravings weirdly enough though. Even though the liquid contains nicotine. Have a safe and Happy New Year! Good luck and don't drive drunk! If you get buzzed, let someone sober drive or call a cab. AAA is also providing free rides home to people who are drunk whether they are a member or not from 6:00 P.M.-6:00 A.M.
