knee issues v1.1

my appointment is a week from today. now other things around the knee are starting to hurt.

knee issues v1.0

I messed up my knee on saturday morning snowboarding a hill at treewind park. It wasn't even fun or interesting. When I fell I was o.k. but my momentum spun my body in a different direction than my snowboard and something in my right knee paid the price. I could feel it give way like a zipper. The pain was intense but I could still walk around afterwards so I went home. I looked up knee issues online and worried. I walked to the grocery store and back and maybe thought I would be o.k. but by that night I couldn't hardly walk. Sunday morning was better and only hurt in church when kneeling. I thought maybe it was minor. Now its tuesday morning and feels pretty bad. I have a knee experts number and will prolly call today to get it checked out. Tonight I'll have to open the gym for basketball for 2 hours and not even play. depressing. tomorrow my class will shoot off rockets and I'll bend down probably 100 times in pain each time. depressing. pray for my knee.

there are some mornings when the sky looks like a road

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

all dead white boys say god is good.

"if you're not willing to be changed by a place, there's no point in going."

it all boils down to this quoteable phrase

if you love something, give it away

all things go

the trees creak with arthritic arms.

everything is about to break. i'm one inch from all that i can take

its beautiful and sad but its all that i have.

Sometimes in the dark a person will call out, "Where am I?" and really want to know. What must be the nines and tens?

When a favorite old song comes on the radio, I can never hear it past the first few notes. The song, evocative, will take me to the place and time where I first came to hear it. I'll be taken over for the length of the song, and returned when it stops, having missed it, only knowing it was there because now it isn't there.

a wild pack of family dogs came running through the yard one day
and as my own dog ran away with them
i didn't say much of anything at all
