The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Every once in awhile I'm convinced I have cancer because of various aches and pains, and some lumps around my rib cage.

Which brings me to the question.... If you had the big C, would you wanna know? I vehemently avoid any such screenings. Let me live my shorter life happy, I say, then pump in the drugs when it hurts bad enough.
 
Unless you're happy to die a shitty and likely avoidable death at a young age, that sounds retarded. People that go to the doctors for every minor problem suck, but people that avoid going for no good reason when they might have something serious suck too.


I found a lump on one of my balls ages ago (turned out to be a benign cyst) and went to get it checked out immediately. Any guy that puts off getting something like that seen to doesn't deserve his testicles.
 
Considering both my parents did not know they had cancer until it was in the deep stages, and both battled it and are in remission, Id like to know. However as stupid as it may sound, the hardest part would be loosing my hair.

The only time Ive ever seen my Fathers bare face was when he went through Chemo. That was the most heartbreaking thing Ive ever witnessed. I didnt even recognize my own father, and thats scary as fuck. The only reason I have a beard today is because when my Dad lost his (after promising me when I was 3 that he would never shave off his beard) I told him I would never shave off my beard, like he promised me.

Long story short, Id like to know. And once I hit 30, I gotta be up on my checks because of both my parents had colon cancer.
 
Frankly, I don't think my will to live is strong enough to get through chemo or whatever the path to recovery might be. If its just a tumor sure I'd get it cut out but if I had to choose between being oblivious or being aware and depressed, then probably dying anyways, I'd rather not know until its 100% too late. I know a few very strong people who were actually health conscious that didn't make it.
 
Like... Some people would be motivated to live if they found out. They'd quit smoking, do their rounds, etc etc. I think I'd figure fuck it all and be kinda motivated to just give up and die.
 
Going to have my foot looked at tomorrow. Then hopefully I can get it and have some surgery done.
Shits been shitty for over a year. Maybe a bone spur, I dont fucking know.
Tired of being in pain and not being able to wear my boots.
 
Bummer. How did you hurt yourself?

Crazy liquor/cheeseburger party.
No, that's not it. :p

I hurt myself the most epic of ways...... you ready???.....


Kicking a wall to knock snow off my boots.
Instead of using the sole of my boots to hit the wall, I didnt rotate my foot enough and it was all foot.
Im fairly positive that's how I hurt myself.
Total fail :(

A fractured my heel jumping off a van before.

We could start a club for people with stupid foot injuries.
 
So I was mailing some invoices with my boss's 17 year old daughter today, odd facts came to light. She's a big Night wish/Epica etc etc fan so we kinda bonded on general metal discussion awhile back, and she's pretty 'goth' with good taste in movies and television and stuff. I kinda always thought awwww, she reminds me of a more girly version of myself when I was her age.

Then come to find out she hates the advancement of science and technology because she believes the rapture is coming soon, and all those things are a sign of mankind's increasing satanic leanings. I was pretty dumbfounded. I kept my cool because job and I don't argue with people like that but I'm gonna have to be more careful about how I talk to her. The whole family is pretty religious really. Good thing I'm the kind of atheistic sinner who keeps their mouth shut around religious folk.
 
She said she won't listen to anti-christian music awhile back and I figured ok that's whatever, I can dig on that and not recommend any satanic tunes. But hating the advancement of science and technology is a whole different story. I don't think we can be homies.

And I'm very tolerant of religious people usually, more than most folk I know.
 
I wouldn't be able to be friends with someone with beliefs so backwards either. It'd actually probably make me mad.
