The games that made me who I am. #my9games I love goofy stuff so much. My childhood was a collection of the weirdest things I could find used at EB Games, and whatever showed up on a Playstation 2 Demo Disk.

The games that made me who I am. my9games.com I don't love hoping on trends just because everyone else seems to be doing them, but this particular one did spark a nice moment of reflection for me.

My new medication helped my chronic pain so much that my blood pressure went down. Now when I wake up, all my bones are exactly where I left them. Science is magic dude for real

If my frontal lobe would have been developed enough to understand The Giver when I read it in middle achool, it would have made me feel what Yoko Ogawa's The Memory Police did to me as an adult. The Giver 2: The Secret Police Take It Back #booksky

I don't want to be nostalgic anymore. I'm tired of being catered to. I don't want to forever hear the same artistic voices I heard in my youth, now amplified, slowed and reverbed for dramatic effect. I want new worlds. I want new stories. I want new voices. Please!

Medical professionals never skip a fight when they look at my chart. "You can't have rheumatoid arthritis, you're in your 30s." "Had it since I was 12, bucko. My pediatrician also wrote me a prescription for Bedrest & Video Games, and I expect nothing less from you."

Like what do you mean my insurance put an automated randomized flag on my account that stated I had secondary insurance which paused my refill and triggered a bill for $7,000? And that was brought ought down to $0.00 by calling and saying "Nuh uh, you made that up?" and they respond "Haha yeah."

"Okay. Now it's going to generate a survey for you for your medication, it'll just take a minute." "... Like a satisfaction survey or--" "Have you been on this medication before?" "... No, this is my first time getting it sent to me." "And you said you would not talk to a pharmacist?" "Correct."

"Wonderful. I'll just need to put you on a brief hold because you have chosen not to speak to a pharmacist, because they are the only ones that can release the hold, I'll just have to call them." "Even though-- Okay, that's fine, thank you." [Several minutes pass]

"Do you have any ethical, moral, spiritual, or religious exemptions that will impact your care today?" ".......No?" "And would you like to speak to a pharmacist about this prescription?" "What, no, I thought you were-- No, I'm okay, I don't need to speak to anyone."
