After much bitching, I finally saw the specialist about my seizure condition.

I walked in and said, "Let me guess, the EEG showed normal and I'm just crazy". He told me the EEG was normal (as expected) but nothing about the crazy :)
This makes over 20 EEG's that I have had and ALL have come back with 'normal'.

The ideal solution is to get me off of this Dilantin shit I've been taking for years and onto something more recent than a pill made 50 or so years ago.

Dilantin is a killer, it has side effects of:
    sedation, impaired memory, slurred speech, nystagmus, decreased coordination,
    confusion, dizziness, headache, hirsutism, enlargement of the gums, enlargement of the lips
Try and find me one of those that I don't have. Trust me, I gotz em all!!

TOPAMAX (Pronounced: TOW-pah-macks) has the following side effects:
    Abdominal pain, abnormal coordination, abnormal vision, agitation, anxiety, appetite loss, back pain, chest pain, confusion, constipation, depression, difficulty with concentration, difficulty with memory, dizziness, double vision, drowsiness, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, indigestion, involuntary eye movement, language problems, leg pain, loss of coordination, mood problems, nausea, nervousness, rash, sinusitis, slowing of movements, sore throat, speech problems, tingling or burning sensations, tremors, upper respiratory infection, weakness, weight loss
....but apparently, it's better than Dilantin so I'm willing to give it a try.

Now onto what I found quite interesting from the day...

I decided it's time to get another Medic Alert necklet. I call in thinking that I'm a complete unknown to them and I have to register like a newb. Quite the opposite. They had my ID # and a temporary password for me to login and update my profile. I even found out that I have a lifelong subscription, so rather than a 'new' order, I had to 're'order my necklet.

I also spoke to quite a cute sounding phone rep, whom I emailed in about to her boss, cuz she was rather helpfull and efficient.

Anyhoo... the profile was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO out of date. It had my original Dr. from when I went to Sick Kids. It had my phone # with the area code of 416 like it was way back in the day. There were a few other things I took screen shots of, purely for nostalgia. It was cute to see such out of date info that was inputted about 22 years ago. (my god I'm old)

I should have my necklet in 7-10 days. Just in time to go to India.

Uhmmmmm... that's it. So uhmmmm... GO LEAFS GO!!!!

It must be an American thing, cuz for the life of me, I still have yet to understand this morons comment.

A little background...
I do the Abuse mail at work, and we seem to be blocked by a company located in St. Louis.
A quick 'whois' gets me a phone number and I'm on my way to getting the restriction removed.

After some bullshit n' what n' I finally get to speak with the Mail Server Administrator. Finally, someone with a brain... one would think!! This man made possibly the most retarded comment when it comes to email.

I'm telling him how two domains being sent to are bouncing back messages that their mail server has received too much spam from our source. Checking the logs, there is a maximum of 3 messages going to his server per day.

This man returns with, and I quote:
those are domains I host, so do you see.. why would I accept mail sent to myself?
I simply replied with, "Not really, no".

Good ol' Abuse mailbox.. adding that bit of humour to an otherwise boring day.

enough talking shit... this time i took action

I had been talking forever about how I was gonna change the speakers in my car, get an amp and a woofer, yada yada.

Well the 'yada yada' is no more!!

I kept the stock tweeters but I...
    replaced all 4 speakers

    got an Orion amp

    and a Fosgate Punch subwoofer

It was in serious need of tweaking, but Grimm was kind enough to go absolutely deaf helping me adjust the sound. My god... it sounds SOOOOOO much better now.

I also borrowed a White Zombie cd from Grimm.
Thunder Kiss '65 sounds fucking incredible.

There's no need for 'X to the Z' (Xzibit) to pimp this ride. It's already being done by Pimp Daddy Jcloth.
Tinted windows is the only thing left to do.

If this setup doesn't help me get the ladies, then nothing will :p

i found out where all the hot chicks are in T.O.

Anywhere but at Republik.

I mean the music is fine... (even the gay retro room was good this time) but there is loads of false advertising going on there. Apparently the not-so good looking chicks of the city also have pretty good bodies, but they all congregate at Republik.

There was one hot chick, but she just wouldn't dance. A drunken Turk was gonna go pull a lesbo dancing act with her but we stopped her cuz god knows what The Turk might have done and how big of asses Grimm and I would have looked.

i totally got her number

...is what I'd be saying if I had the balls to take one step forward and actually speak to her :)

This chick was so cute and we were catching eyes ALL night. Near the end of the night she was dancing so close to me that all I had to do was make a noise in her direction and we would have started talking.

Darksyde tried his best, but I made sure he didn't approach her for me.

Man I'm a gutless loser. But to be honest, the more I picture her face, the more I think I've met her before. She did seem very familar. She looked a little like Chica but different enough that I know it wasn't just the similarities between the two that made her look familar.

Anyway... she was hot, I'm gutless and tired as hell.

This is moron... I mean Jcloth, signing off!

addendum
Pictures of the nights events were posted online... and I'm kinda glad I didn't get the phone number.
Flash photography showed what the darkness couldn't.

Having the knowledge that he is actually aware is enough to satisfy me for now.
I knew I couldn't have been the only person seeing what was transpiring.

I spoke with the director of a co-ed baseball league today and he's sending me the signup package in the mail tomorrow. The games are on Thursdays.

I told him I want 3rd base (like the old days) and to play at the Rep level, because I was quite the superstar before I blew out the knee. With this god given bat speed and natural talent for the game, I should be bringin' in the pussy with every swing.

So now all I need is for the batting cages to finally open and a 'playing catch' partner to warm up the ol' skills and I'll be ready to knock em out of the park like when I was a punk teenager.

I also fired off an email to the league director at the Ice Gardens to see about playing some summer hockey. I don't care what team I play on and with how rusty I am at hockey, I told him Wed nights and a 'D' division team. So I am eagerly anticipating his reply. Hope there's a chance available to join as an individual without a team.

the skirt that wasn't

Grimm and I were all chillin' and such at the StarBucks inside Chapters before going to watch Hostage... when suddenly up the escalator escalated the skirt that wasn't.

Now I've heard stories about chicks wearing skirts with half their ass hanging out... but to actually see it in the flesh was a sight to see. Not only cuz she was damn hot... but it was so slutty that it took slutty to a new level. It was like Tier-0 slutty :)

Every guy, and I mean EVERY guy was looking in shock. These two guys were walking by her and one started choking and coughing when he noticed. The pussy whipped fag behind us was agreeing with his gf that she was trashy. Meanwhile his tongue is on the floor at the same time. Was she wearing underwear?? That remains the unknown. All classic stuff.

The worst part is that the one who wasn't dressed trashy was very pretty but getting absolutely no attention. It's like how hot chicks hang out with ugly chicks to make themselves feel better looking. She was the ugly chick when she was by no means ugly. Poor girl must not have got any play that night.

Since I don't have any issues with that, those are confirmed SPAM and they're tagged right away!! ;)

I'm not only getting moved out of my fucking seat that I've been sitting at for over 1 year, but the PC I'm moving to is no better than a P3-550... and I can't even have the seat location I want because I'm white.

I need to paint my skin to get any fucking respect.

I had a brainstorm and wondered if it would work.
Would it be possible?
Will everything work the way I want it to?
Am I going to be caused any unnecessary grief?
Will it just be a disaster and I should have stopped myself from the headache?
But maybe it won't be and everything will be fine..??
I just can't decide if I should. Should I?

You know what?? I'M GONNA GO FOR IT!!!

I'm gonna change the Mail Server to store all the mail on the NFS and just symlink the Maildir folder on the Web Server.
