Inventive Ennui

God Damnit......

So for the last week I have had the flu.
My brother had caught it literally weeks before and the fucker hadn't gotten better yet because he persisted in going out every night out late and drinking even though he was sick.
You know... with no thought of the fact that the longer he stays the sick the more likely he is to give that shit to us.

So anyway, I did a bunch of stuff to help boost my immune system, lots of vitamin C, started downing a large tumbler of water every 30minutes when I felt the first tickle in my throat.
And for a while it worked.....
I got a little bit of a sore throat but I didn't get a runny nose or a cough or any sneezing.
I thought I was going to escape getting majorly sick.
I was wrong....
A couple of days later I got alot worse, I started coughing so bad I couldn’t get to sleep at night, and my dad was even worse than me.

So for the 2nd consecutive time I’ve had a flu I went to the doctor...
Strangely enough the last 2 flu's I’ve had have just happened to be the kind that’s so bad that it doesn’t seem to want to go away or get better.
She put me on anti biotics, and told me to continue using the ventolin that she provided me with last time I saw her. Which was in September of 06 since I hadn’t used it all.

Ventolin is awesome if you have a cough that keeps you up at night, because even though it doesn’t completely get rid of it when you do cough your throat is actually open enough that you’re actually coughing AT something.

The moot point here is that while my cough got better because of the ventolin and anti biotics.
When my father saw the doctor they only gave him the anti biotics and since his flu was worse than mine to begin with, he keeps me awake at night, the last few days I’ve been running on 3 hours of sleep a night.

So I tried to get some sleep this afternoon and I got to sleep, I slept for 2 hours and then my parents fucking wake me up, and you know what they tell me?
"We didn’t want you to not be able to get to sleep later on since you’d slept alot during the day"
FUCK THAT!
At this point we are beyond normal sleeping patterns I’m not garenteed a good sleep later on anyway if dads coughing and sounding like he’s dying in the next room when I try to get to sleep.
Any sleep I can get any time anywhere is good.
Fuck that sleeping pattern shit....

well its my 21st birthday tomorrow and I do have a party lined up, and I hope that by the evening when we go to the movies that I’m not coughing my lungs at just because the passing air in my throat when I breathe is causing a tickle therefore I cough....

see that’s a lingering dry cough, I’m technically not even sick anymore as of today , and I’ve read that those lingering dry cough's can last up to 3 weeks after you have gotten over the cold/flu.

Luckily if I use the vent puffer before I go out I should be fine aslong as I don’t drink anything cold.

I was fucking hoping I didn’t have to post pone this shit.

On to other issues.

Next Gen Consoles:
You see... I almost want to put my head in the sand about next generation consoles because, well..... Eh... the 360 still has problems, it’s dubious to see if the ps 3 manages to get some good exclusives over all that it manages to "keep" to make it worth while getting in the long run. And with the NintendoWii, sure it’s cool in an awesome novelty way but besides Zelda, at the moment there isn’t anything that I’m going to find substantially good on it.
This isn’t to say I’m dogging the Wii or the PS3 it’s just that current release titles haven’t got my attention yet. Zelda is currently the only game out on Wii that I want to play, fuck those fun little games that have hooked the ungamer/casual masses.

I may not be the most hardcore gamer, and I may not have a very broad taste in games and may have very specific likes in them.
But when I sit down to play a game I do like, I play it like a hardcore gamer does, with dedication.

The point I’m trying to make by putting my head in the sand is this:
I'm going to wait it out for a little while to see what other good titles come out.

Ever Since my brother put his own life down the toilet he has been bringing home so much sickness since he seems incapable of looking after his own fucking body.

I’ve been sick more in the last 6-8months that I have annually in any other year.

And what is wrong with that fucker?

When I’m sick I don’t feel like doing shit.

I don’t see how he gets the motivation to want to go out and get pissed and act like a tool when he’s sick, cause he hasn’t just done it with the flu before.

He’s done it with gastroenteritis too…..

And if you know what that is I think your sure to say, “FUCK THAT”
