water, my back and junk
March 13, 2003 - 6:17 pm

i hardly ever drink a glass of water. i've adapted to the idea of being thirsty. i seem to function quite well whilst dehydrated. so today i decided to start drinking water. i was thinking that a person is supposed to drink 8 glasses of water and each glass is either 6 or 8 ounces?

so i searched online to see just hwo much i should drink. it turns out that 8 glass stuff is old news. what you should do is take your weight and divide by two. the answer is how many ounces of water. so if weigh 140lbs, then you need to drink 70 ounces.

i need to drink a shitload of water.

i also made an appointment to go see the back quack. see, my lower back hurts alot. well not alot, but often. well not often, but all the time.. sometimes it hurts alittle, sometimes more than alittle. in my new thinking, it occurs to me i could have a slipped disk or something.

what else? there was something else..

more or less, i'm evaluating things.. and if they seem less than good, i'm going to do my damndest not to do them.

part of this revelation came while talking to a friend this past weekened. she said she'd have more friends if she worked with better/nicer people.

seems kinda logical at first. i thought about it and realized that what she said was just an excuse. the problem isn't with where she works or who she works with. the problem is that she doesn't go out and meet people.

sure it's easier to meet people at a place you have to go, but if you're going to lament that you know very few people...but don't try to meet anyone then you need to shut the hell up. you can blame it on where you work or whatever, but really.. you need to realize it's your behavior - not theirs - that is the probelm.

of course, i didn't say any of this to her. i'm debating if i should.

i've got enough to do drinking all this damn water.
