Just to let you know what's going on, I've bought a website, Untitledi.com, and I setup a blog there. Eventually I'll get to setting up a redirect, but until then, here's the direct link to my blog:
Currently Playing Sugar By Tonic Track: You Wanted More see related
I really did it now. In my last post I said how I was going to get an MRI, the results came back. I tore my Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) completely in two, and my Lateral Meniscus (MCL) is torn again. Let's refer to the diagram eheh.
So yep, that ACL, no longer one piece. I have yet to find out what kind of tear is in my meniscus, read back a few months ago and you can find out about those kinda tears.Here's what the ACL controls in the knee:
Preventing the lower leg bone from sliding forward or turning inward when the leg is straight.
Preventing the knee from being stretched or straightened beyond its normal limits (hyperextended).
Supporting the knee ligaments that keep the knee from bending sideways.
So in lesser words, my school soccer season, gone. Before it even starts, it's done. I better get at least one comment haha. I tried playing on it after it was injured, it wasn't pretty. I simply just ran and tried to stop sideways, bent it sideways. From what I'm told, it didn't look pretty, I didn't get to see it in action. All of this because of some freshman, man I hate them even more now heh. My surgery is sometime in October and it won't be completely recovered for a year, but I can play before then. Looks like I'm going to become a hardcore biker now, it's the only thing I can do -- I can't even do stairs yet alone jog or run. Anyways here's what it looks like as far as surgery:
The surgeon may reattach the torn ends of the ligament or reconstruct the torn ligament by using a piece (graft) of healthy ligament from the patient (autograft) or from a cadaver (allograft). Although synthetic ligaments have been tried in experiments, the results have not been as good as with human tissue. One of the most important elements in a patient's successful recovery after cruciate ligament surgery is a 4- to 6-month exercise and rehabilitation program that may involve using special exercise equipment at a rehabilitation or sports center. Successful surgery and rehabilitation will allow the patient to return to a normal lifestyle.
Hah, normal lifestyle. Like I ever had that. And 4-6 months of physical therapy I am definitely not looking forward to. I opted to get the autograft by the way, the allograft has a minute chance of contracting AIDS, HIV, or Hepatitis. Even if it is minute, I don't feel comfortable taking that risk. And of course Wolfe, the surgeon, told me 3 years ago there was a problem in a lab where 3 people got AIDS from cadaver tissue, but it wasn't a lab he used. Still I don't feel like being the first from a new lab. Thanks for the story, it really helps prick. In other news I'm trying to find a class to switch into instead of Team Sports since I can't do jack, and I'm finding it's either Childhood or some other lame class. Katie said she was going to talk to Zim but either it didn't work or she didn't, going to give her the benefit of the doubt on that. Oh and I got to hear remnants of something that happened last year from my brother, that was nice and refreshing. I'm done, here's a good song I've been listening to a lot lately, get's ya pumped, take a listen.
Refused - New Noise
Can I scream? Yeah! We lack the motion to move to the new beat We lack the motion to move to the new beat
It's here for us to admire if we can afford the beauty of it Can afford the luxury of turning our heads Adjust that thousand dollar smile and behold the creation of man Great words won't cover ugly actions - good frames won't save bad paintings
We lack the motion to move to the new beat. Yeah! We lack... motion When the day is over - Hey! - the doors are locked on us Money buys the access - and we can't pay the cost And how can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice? We need new noise - new art for the real people
We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not leading We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not... Leading
We dance - all the wrong songs We enjoy - all the wrong moves We dance - all the wrong songs
We dance - all the wrong songs We enjoy - all the wrong moves We dance - all the wrong songs
Here we go!
We dance to all the wrong songs We enjoy all the wrong moves We dance to all the wrong songs We're not leading. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! The new beat! Thank you.
Eh what the hell, one more song couldn't hurt. A classic perhaps?
Tonic - You Wanted More
Love is tragic Love is bold You will always do what you are told
Love is hard Love is strong You will never say that you were wrong
I dont know when I got bitter Love is sure better when it's gone Because you wanted more More than I could give More than I could handle And a life that I can't live
You wanted more More than I could bare More than I could offer And a love that isn't there
Love is color Love is love Love is never saying you're too proud
Love is trusting Love is honest Love is not a hand that holds you down
I dont know when I got bitter Love is surely better when it's gone Because you wanted more More than I could handle And a life that I can't live
You wanted more More than I could bare More than I could offer And a love that isn't there
I gotta pick me up when I am down I gotta get my feet back on the ground I gotta pick me up when I am down
[Solo]
I don't know when I got bitter Love is surely better when it's gone Because you wanted more More than I could handle And a life that I can't live
You wanted more More than I could bare More than I could offer And love that isn't there
You wanted more More than I could bare More than I could offer
Because you wanted more More than I could give More than I could handle And a life that I can't live
Before I write about anything, take a look at this picture:
Balding Gay Mexican PornstarorChild Star?
He got arrested yesterday or the day before for drugs, haha. I think he looks like a balding gay Mexican pornstar myself. In case you haven't figured it out, he's Macaulay Culkin from those Home Alone movies
Yeah so anyways, finally established my regular hours, Sundays from 11AM to 6PM. It's raining a lot out today, I think it's the day Ivan, Frances, or Charles, one of those hurricanes is finally making it's way up to us. So I'm stuck inside all day today, then working all day tomorrow, how fun. Can't wait til I can buy an iPod. We had Thursday off for Rosh Hashanah (thanks Jewish people). I went for an MRI and a bike ride then. My knees were killing me at first, then I guess they either became numb or just became flexible again. Yesterday sucked, I had a bad day. I wrote my Spanish essay in the morning, it was too short eheh. Then I had trouble printing it out, so I had to take care of that at school. When I got to my first period, my computer wouldn't turn on, so the teacher fixed it. Then in Team Sports 2, I almost got pegged in the face with a kickball thrown by some retard with no motion skills, luckily I have fairly quick reactions and ducked in time. But we played matball (a form of kickball) and I got to watch some girl step on top of the ball, slip on it, then fall and bounce off the ball on the ground. I almost shit my pants laughing. Then there was this kid, let's call him "mildly obese", who couldn't run for his life (or a twinky) and he kicked the ball which was quickly scooped up by Chris Roland. If Roland had tried out for football, he could've easily been backup QB, but anyways, he wings the ball at this kid and I couldn't help myself haha. Terrible I know, but hey, I was having a bad day. So then onto Spanish. Eugenio felt the need to show my essay to the teacher, asshole. She kept giving me sideways looks the rest of the class and even busted on me for being a slacker. Fickle old whore, I'll push you down the stairs. Then we went to lunch where I hyperextended my knee again, and felt like shit for the rest of the day. Then back to Spanish again, I just slept for the rest of class. Finally, onto Chemistry, we did some dumb lab exercise and I just screwed around. Then we had soccer practice which wasn't at the school and the bus for that was an hour late, so not fun. Oh, and I signed up for Yearbook Staff haha, don't ask why, because I don't know either. I have to have someone advertise in it, I think I'm going to try to get 320 Produce (where I work) to do it. Other than that, I got a letter from a new college, West Virginia University. Doesn't look too interesting. I also got a letter from Goucher College again. And a thing from Poetry.com, a poem I wrote is going to be in a book. If someone wants to see it, just leave a comment. It's nothing amazing in my eyes. Well I think I'm done writing for now, here's lyrics to a good song.
The Killers - Somebody Told Me
Breaking my back just to know your name Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game I'm breaking my back just to know your name But heaven ain't close in a place like this Anything goes but don't blink you might miss Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said heaven ain't close in a place like this Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me You had a boyfriend Who looks like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year It's not confidential I've got potential
Ready? Let's roll onto something new Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said heaven ain't close in a place like this Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me You had a boyfriend Who looks like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year It's not confidential I've got potential A rushin', a rushin' around
Pace yourself from me I said maybe baby please But I just don't know now When all I wanna do is try
Somebody told me You had a boyfriend Who looks like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year It's not confidential I've got potential A rushin', a rushin' around
Ah DAMNIT! I hurt my other knee again and can't play soccer for at least a week. And the good news is...well there is no real good news. My first block, Intro to Computer Programming, is okay, but nothing special. Second block, Team Sports 2, is a killer for me, both my knees, my hip, and more recently my back are starting to hurt more and more. Eh, I'm falling apart. And my 3rd block class, Spanish 4 Honors, really sucks, way too hard. Luckily I sit next to a kid who speaks fluent Spanish ahaha, we're both slackers. And 4th block I rule.
Moving on, there is a SHITLOAD of freshmen. We had two trailers added onto the back of the school to accommadate those little bastards. But all of them aren't bad eheh, there's one that's been catching my eye. I have no explanation for why she does, it's weird. Anyways I keep seeing her around, but who knows if anything'll become of it. But it still doesn't negate any past feelings, at least not yet. So yeah, that's all that's really going on in that aspect at this point.
Today I stayed home from school to go to an Orthopaedic appointment and just skipped the rest of school haha. And so it begins.... We also have Thursday off for Rosh Hashanah, there is no word that better describes that than "NOYCE." One of the perks of having a large concentration of Jewish people in our school district. The other perk is to borrow money haha (Don't mind the racism, it's a joke). Tonight I went to watch the JV and Varsity soccer teams play, both of which lost. JV lost 2 - 0 and Varsity lost 1 - 0. DJ (on JV) got a red card for what should have just been a regular foul or at most a yellow, Bryan (my brother, Varsity) bit his lip and has blood all over his shirt, and Hal Myers got to yell something that, by my guess, he'd been waiting to say a long time eheh. Yeah, that's about it besides the fact that this song is pretty damn good. Also another you should download, "Snow Patrol - Run." Great song.
