So, I am going to hit these points one by one. The first being my Crohn’s. If your a reader of this site that actually knows me in any way closer than a URL, you know that I have Crohn’s disease. And if you happen to have talked to me in the last two or three months, you know I am currently having a pretty bitching flair up.

A flair up, for Crohn’s, is a point where the disease decides it will ignore my medications, and do its best to mate my ass to the toilet. Fun.

Anyways, after several doctor visits and test they have decided to change up my meds, and currently we are in the process of waiting…Waiting to see if this will work and such.

Point two, I am anemic. I did not know this about a month ago. I happen to have a very bad day at work about a month back, and after several people argued with me, I was convinced to visit the ER. After some testing there they informed me I was highly anemic, and that I should probably see my specialist about my Crohn’s as well (which I did). So now, not only do I shit a lot, all the time, I am constantly tired, and even get light headed and need to take brakes throughout my day.

And for the final point. I think I may be depressed. This is something new, to me, and since I have not mentioned it to anyone, it is new to you as well. No, I do not have suicidal thoughts, or think of anything harming. I just don’t want to do anything. I am anti-social. This is not constant though. I have had several times lately where I desperately want to get out of the house, visit my friends, and do something. But, nine out of ten of these times my body says no. Instead I am at home, in and out of the restroom, or just sitting in bed, lethargic and pained. The one good point with this is I have wonderful friends. They understand that I am not ditching them, that I truly do want to do something, but can’t.

So, there you have it. I have posted a much needed update. Sure, there are several other things going on in my life that I can write about, such as my continuing education and struggles with that, or the fact that Michigan will not insure me, but right now, these three points are what I feel to be important.

Mainly the only things I am doing with my computer right now is internet browsing, word processing, and music. I download all my music using a different PC, running a stripped version of Win XP, and listen to the files using Amarok. By far my favorite audio player. For internet browsing I am using Chromium, and it is doing great, exspecially for the fact that it syncs my bookmarks with my other computers and OS’s. For the word processing I am running OpenOffice. I used to run this in Windows as well, until I jumped on the Micro$oft Office wagon for ease of going to and from school.

Will give more information on my Pure (almost) Ubuntu experience.

So, wish me luck. I don’t think I will need it though. I have always liked Ubuntu and all of the customizations I can play with.

So far all I have taken are the general education classed for my major, that being Computer Science. I would say I have enjoying a majority of the classes, and asides from a few assignments I did not enjoy, I did pretty well grade wise. I still need to get it into my head that this is harder than Baker or high school though. There I was able to cruise through my classes, getting good grades easily. Here at SVSU I actually feel challenged a majority of the time, and I rather enjoy it.

I do not know what I will be doing this summer to keep myself busy. I am not taking any classes for the Spring/Summer period, as money is getting tight and I need to pick up a second job for the summer. This way, when Fall semester comes around I will be prepaired again, much like I was this passing school year.

I have been thinking pretty hard on this, and I think I may do it. I plan on only using first names and nicknames though…That way no one can become offended by something I may post.

Don’t post comments or emails or anything asking me if I am doing it, or for a web address. Like I said…the goal is complete anonymity, so I can feel free and unafraid to post anything.
