Some cool health tricks

Ok, no more boring, broken heart stories. 

Here is some cool health tricks for you all.

If you're stuck talking to a mumbler, lean in with your right ear. It's better than your left at following the rapid rhythms of speech. If, however, you are trying to identify the song playing quietly in the background, turn your left ear toward the sound as its better at picking up music tones.

Need to pee? Fantasize about sex. No, its true. Thinking about sex preoccupies your brain, so you won't feel as much discomfort. I think this works better for guys then girls.

If you hate getting needles, try coughing to lessen the pain. Researchers have shown that coughing causes a sudden, temporary rise in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the pain-conducting structure of the spinal cord.

The next time you have a tickle in the throat, try scratching your ear. When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm which relieves the tickle.

Try some of these things and let me know if it works or not.

The raw truth

Its Friday night and I've decided to once again start writing in my blog. I should be out, having fun and doing whatever it is that single guys do but I don't seem to be too excited about that idea. And why is this, well, I guess I'm still a little bummed by what has happened to me in the past week.

Without going into too much detail just yet, I met a girl, I lost said girl and I don't know why. I don't know why it ended, I don't know why I can't get over her, I don't know why I'm thinking about her all the time and I don't know why I miss her when she doesn't miss me. Ok, that's not fair, I think she misses me, but not in the same way that I miss her.

I have asked myself why we ended and yes, it was only for 2 months and I should just move on and continue on living. But her and I, we really connected. You can't fake what we shared and no matter what people tell me, I'm not quite ready to give up on her and us yet. I can see some eyes rolling right now, yes, I'm looking at you specifically.

She called me the other night, and I was totally not expecting that. I had deleted her phone number, her contact info, photos, saved voice mail messages, anything that would make me want to contact her. I felt that it wasn't fair of me to hang on to her when she obviously didn't want me to do that. So, I was hovering the mouse over the final vestige of communication which was her facebook account. If I clicked "unfriend" we would no longer be friends and I would have no way to speak to her, contact her and effectively, I'd be finally acknowledging that it was over. So, I sent her a message, basically telling her that I missed our conversations, I missed our friendship and that I hoped she was doing well. A part of me wished that she would read it, think about it and send me a response. I never expected her to call me later that night. At around 1am, I got a call and it was her. She said hello and wanted to see how I was doing. So I told her the truth which was I am doing well, I miss her and I miss our friendship. I told her that if she wanted us to remain friends, then we should at least be able to speak. But for the past week, we haven't said a single word to each other. I had sent her a few messages and got no response and so I said that if she doesn't want me to talk to her, to be in her life, that's fine and to just let me know. But I wanted her to know that I wanted our friendship back, and that means I wanted to continue talking to her. I told her that a part wishes that one day, her feelings for me may change and she would consider giving us another chance. I realize that to be a very long shot as even she said that once she makes up her mind, she doesn't change it. She ended the call shortly afterwards, having spoken to me for less then 10 minutes.

I don't know if I'll hear from her, I mean, I hope I do but I don't know when. I'm not going to pause my life and hold my breath and wish blindly that things will work out. I just don't know and maybe this is why I'm not going out or hooking up with random girls. I just don't know what I did to end something that was so amazing with someone who was a really good person. Is it me? Is it her? was it a combination of us both? All I know is that I miss her but I'm not what she wants. And that hurts and that is the truth. The raw truth.

I'm back!!!!

So apparently it's been over 2 years since I've written in this blog and yet I've had 7 viewers. Sweet.

Now, for those of you who don't know this, but I used to write in my blog religiously. however, I drifted away in the past year or so. I think it's time to bring back the proverbial pen and paper and pour out the madness which is my mind and settle some shit.

If your reading this then I hope you see that underneath this handsome, awesome shell is an even handsomer (?) and awesomer (??) guy. Dare I say "hanawesomer"? Yes, I'm hanawesome!

The reason why I started blogging was that it allowed me a chance to pour out my thoughts and ideas in a way that made sense to me. I'm hoping to do that again and your welcome to tag along.

I hope you find this funny, informative, honest and raw.
