    (ACK) I have that damned twinge near my liver that says I’m not out of the woods yet. Sigh. Time for tests.

    DEATH AND FEAR

    You know, once you’ve thought you were going to die a few times, it’s pretty liberating. Life is something to enjoy. To experience. To consume. Death is something you recognize, and try to avoid, but once you’ve made peace with it, it’s something that you no longer fear.

    Now, it takes a long time to get over every episode for some reason. I don’t know how the men on patrol do it. But it takes a year or more for me every time. My friends overseas are tougher than I’ll ever be.

    But it does give you a very different perspective on threats. Because when you aren’t afraid of dying, risk is just another experience to enjoy.

    At least from my perspective, it feels like, if fear is a weapon, then:

    “I’m not locked in here with you; You’re locked in here with me!”

    🙂

    INTERNATIONAL HUMOR

    (From a Ukrainian) “Do you know how we refer to Canada? Canada is Ukraine after general house cleaning.”

    I needed my inhaler I laughed so hard I almost lost consciousness.

    Canada wins that migratory lottery. We get mexicans, they get Ukrainians. 🙂

    FUNNY

    QUESTION: “Curt, Why are you so dedicated to Veronika?”

    ANSWER: “Well, I am very simple. I pretty much operate on loyalty as the first moral and ethical bias. And she’s amazingly similar in that respect. In fact, if I asked her to kill you, the only question she would ask me, would be where she should dump the body.”

    That gets a laugh every time. Not sure how true it is. But it makes people laugh.

    Really, it’s because I can’t believe any other woman would tolerate me. 🙂

    RANDOM ACTS OF CHARITY

    I do stupid little stuff all the time.

    I bought the security guards coffee yesterday.

    I stuck 500H (about 60 bucks) in an old lady’s pocket today, while idling on a corner.

    I offered to buy two people I’ve only met once dinner at a restaurant they can’t afford.

    Just little stuff.

    And I can personally attest that the data is correct: doing stupid little stuff for other people makes you incredibly happy.

    Now, I don’t have the fortitude like our friend Scott (in Seattle) does. I mean,he’s the real thing. A real christian hero.

    So It’s not the kind of thing that you get into eternity for.

    But it certainly makes you happier.

    And I’m pretty sure it makes the world a better place.

    Just a little bit.

    At the age of I think seven or eight I got a piece of horoscope paper that said “You are capable of amassing a fortune.” You wouldn’t believe that an impact that suggestion had on me.

    Well, having made a couple of fortunes now. I gotta say, that I’m glad I did it. That I’ve proven I can do it. When my book is done I’ll have accomplished everything I had desired in life. (Assuming I finish it before I get run over by a bus, or struck by lightening.)

    But the idea of just enjoying life like most people do seems really awesome.

    So. Here is a toast to living life for the purpose of enjoying it.
