mad jew said:Haha. Yeah, thanks. I've always thought you were a hottie.
thanks, now i can say the feeling is mutal
I thought that since I'm on a bit of a role here, I'd post a shot of me kinda topless (wearing a heart monitor). I've got a dodgy ticker so I've been forced to wear one of these every few motnhs. It's the single most annoying thing to sleep with.![]()

i found out recently that i have a bad ticker too. my resting pulse is always really high (in the high 90's to 100's) and they had some other indication something was wrong and sent me for an echocardiogram. it was then that i noticed they spent way too much time looking at (what i thought of as) the "red-shift / blue-shift" portion of the test... the blood was not completely going where it belongs. lousy valve is leaking/regurgitating. my heart just has to over-compensate for its poor efficiency so it beats rather fast. damn it i am not totally sure of the etiology of it because i went on vacation before i could find out more. part of me doesn't want to know and doesn't really care. if they think i am giving up a single one of my hobbies for it they got another thing coming. stupid heart.
<blah blah blah>
here's to the ones with bad tickers
