PAIN MANAGEMENT

"A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it." -Oscar Wilde
amen bruddah

aloha,
THE NFL
once again i would like to think the players of the NFL for donating their bodies to science.NO JOKE the knee braces i use to wobble around in, with my cane, are an offshoot of Sports Medicine and NFL knee injures. thanks guys.
now the latest research on NFL brain injuries is paying off as the VA is finding more shock blast eye & brain trauma to returning GIs from our endless wars.once again, thanks guys.

GOT PAIN?
once again i wish our local area had a REAL NEWSPAPER, the Senile-our daily catbox liner, had a top of the fold article about pain. it used about a thousand words to say Nothing.one anecdotal paragraph about a 60 year old woman in pain, a slight mention of doctors now recognizing Pain Management as something to consider than just blather and BS. no mention of the AMERICAN CHRONIC PAIN SOCIETY or any local groups which teach meditation for pain mangement,ZIP. no mention even of Substance P and lowered interconnected pain thresholds, hell a few seconds on Google would've produced better results.the article was obviously written by some clueless healthy person.SIGH...

CNN ON VIOLENCE
speaking of blather,BS and lowered thresholds...one of the news screamers on HLN, who is the new female one trick pony on addiction, was going on and on about the FT.HOOD shootings and AMERICA'S ADDICTION TO VIOLENCE. think most men's movies,horror films,trendy vampire films, the NFL, wrestling,MMA cage matches,boxing,autopsy shows, grisly crime renactment shows,grisly news footage which show bloody bombings and mutilations SIGH.
so rather than asking what deep historical pscychological flaws & fetishized gun worship which make us a nation of sick voyeuristic ghouls this news hen predicts that we , as a nation, will keep escalating this gut churning trend until WE HIT ROCK BOTTOM! Armeddgon methinks? worldwide global extinction??DOOMSDAY ha ha ha...
this is SO STUPID, we are 300 million peeps in this death spiral coarsening society and Mass Murders are still Big News, not like a routine stabbing in Salinas or Watsonville. VOILENCE IS OBVIOUSLY THE NEW & ACCEPTABLE PUBLIC PORNOGRAPHY...i think it was Wichita this week where there was a big dust up because some TV news station showed an anatomically correct undraped breast exam.HUH?
tall big haired pouty anorexic Victoria's Secret model can strut around in lil more than satin bandages every two seconds and Pay Cable has everything but routine penetration but you can't show a NON EROTIC TIT IN CONTEXT???DEEP DEEP SIGH.
as an old friend usedta say SOMETIMES I THINK I'VE LIVED TOO LONG.

BTW
there was another burr under my saddle,ah yes.
i was watching the Rachel Ray Show waiting for the local news and she was interviewing kids in Kindergarten about something ,i admit i had the sound off as usual, so i look up to see if the news has started and note that two girl children aged 6 & 7 are wearing both lipstick and blush. you're sh*tting me, was this their idea? their parents? or the beauty peeps of RR? i live near the Capitola Mall where daily one can see many Tween nipples and bony cameltoes in their thin shirts and spandex bottoms.i have seen five year olds with JUICY across their bottoms, just like Mommy oh yes. i can tell whether a woman waxes or not depending on how tight the pants are she wears.
now this is a beach town and a college town and seeing ripe young girls in bikinis at the market or hardware store or drug store is no surprise and I M NOT A PRUDE.as a lifelong Nudist raised in a semi nudist household but still...it would be less erotic & repellent to walk around naked than wear labia splitting spandex and muffintop shirts. i have noted older peeps at nude beachs nude then later clothed and the change of attitude and subsequent loss of freedom involved.yeah yeah i know this is impractical in our 'Post Puritanical Society" full of blaring child murders,child rape, child abductions,adult rape etc etc but a man can dream can't he? i asked my massage therapist how does she plan to raise her 11 year old daughter SANE IN THIS INSANE WORLD?
"KEEP HER BUSY!" luckily the girl is both a nerd & athlete living in a remote hill town and has discovered neither boys or fashion yet but next year...

anyway check out PAGANI'S website, enjoy the autumn change of colors in the trees, catch some fresh air while u still can ,no local wildfires here today and await my next cranky riposte to life itself.sound good?

namaste y'all
