runaway train

every time i heard "fly by night" by rush, i would always say to myself "there's another song that sounds a lot like this," specifically the main riff. i finally figured it out. it's that song "black gold" by soul asylum. I always thought they were overrated.

on the subject of music, i'm a a flipper. i constantly flip channels when i'm in the car. i think you're either a flipper or you aren't, there's no in between. for people who aren't flippers, riding with a flipper drives them nuts. i guess i have a short attention span when it comes to radio stations. if there's a song on i don't like, i always feel like i'm missing something better on another channel. with sirius, that's bad news. there's like 100 channels. i have a core of about like 20 that i flip through though, so it's not as bad, but bad enough.

well tomorrow morning i get to blow into a computer and have it tell me how fucked my lungs are. that'll be a blast.

i was there last week for a chest xray, and they put a wrist bracelet on me. i was there for like 10 minutes. isn't that a little overkill? i mean, if i dropped dead i had my wallet on me.

is it strange that i'm 28 and this is my my 4th or 5th set of chest xrays and 3rd pulmonary function test? when my lung partially collapsed i went through a few, but still, this is getting rediculous. actually, one time they had to redo them because my lungs didn't fit in the xray the first time. they said i had "long lungs." that's something to put on my resume:

i wanted to write something more, but i really can't think of it right now, so i won't
