I’ve got poison oak again for the first time since 2004. This time, after hearing about Jared’s troubles with the oak and the drugs (steroids) doctors prescribed for it I went to the doctor for some meds. If you’re unaware, I despise poison oak with a passion of a thousand suns. Between the oak and sunburns I can’t decide which I’d rather die from but they are basically my worst nightmares.

Anyway, yeah steroids are neat. I can feel a surge of sustained energy about 1/2 an hour after taking them. It’s something of a rush. I might have to hold on to a few of them in case I do the old Baker To Vegas run this year. So that’s about it. I just wanted to put in a little note about the oak so I remember it in the future. Much like I remember the 2004 oak episode.

That’s about it. Welcome to 2007, if I can keep this trend up I won’t get any more oak until 2010.

This has been a shitty week, thankfully there’s only about 13 hours of it left. I can’t describe everything that is wrong in here, because it is after all a public journal. Anyone reading this knows enough about me to know that I don’t give out personal info easily if at all, but as far as stuff that I can and will discuss:

1) Sunburn, on my scalp, feet and ankles. I fucking hate sunburns because they are so easy to avoid and I know that I get them supereasy… so it’s really fucking stupid for me not to protect myself against them.

2) Poison Oak on my foreams and misc other places. 2nd on my hatred list is Poison oak, because again I’m super-susceptible to it and I know it. FUCK.

3) Backed my truck into a tree. Enough said about that I suppose.

I hope Vu would be proud of me for using the sidelighting correctly in this shot to emphasize the (new) textures of the tailgate. At least I’m learning more about photographic technique eh?

4) Tons of other shit that went down this week.

5) This is the last weekend I have off in August and it was largely wasted by me doing absolutely nothing exciting, new, or exploratory. That’s not like me, and I just have to blame it on 4.

Why am I so whiny lately?
