I know I used to have an account here, but like so many things I have no idea what it is. &nbsp;Damn brain sugery... Being awake for brain sugery is interesting but not fun. &nbsp;Actually I'd describe it as terrifing. &nbsp;But I'm getting ahead of myself. &nbsp;On my first Thanksgiving away from home I had three episodes of numbness on my right side that lasted about five minutes and were spaced about half an hour appart. &nbsp;I thougt nothing of it until a week later when it happend agian. &nbsp;Went to school clinic, they sent me to get a CT scan. &nbsp;Later that afternoon they wanted me to go for an MRI first thing in the morning, so I did and the tech seemed concerned. &nbsp;Later that evening I went to happy hour as I often do Friday nights with my freinds. &nbsp;Before I got a quarter into my first beer I got a call from the clinic telling me to come in as soon as possible. &nbsp;So much for beer...

This article is not about what George Carlin called the pussification of the (American) male. This article is not about ever-lowering testosterone levels in men. This article is not about over-diagnosing of ADHD in adolescent males, the over-use of Ritalin to emasculate young men, not about the game of tag being banned on schoolyards in fear of liability or how TV, ads and movies lack positive, realistic male role models. And most importantly, this article is not about equality of the sexes. This article is about how you can take charge of your own life. How you should take charge as the red-blooded, testosterone-filled, muscle-bound aggressive man you are. Now, don't get me wrong: there is still hope for you even if you are a girly-man who has words such as "sensitive" or "communication" in your everyday vocabulary, even if you are a pencil-neck who can't bench-press your own bodyweight or if you are a timid fuck who'd rather take Jill out to watch the latest chickflick than open her eyes and orifices to the wonderful world of anal sex. This article is for all of us and will guide you to a better life.

Tycho:  He came into work yesterday with a prescription for something that will alter his brain chemistry, which I thought was a big step for the man who refuses to take aspirin.  We've long canonized our respective lunacies, believing it is like some artistic sacrament that makes our bizarre endeavor possible.  We have relied upon them.  Or, at any rate, we did.
