roundabout way of getting to the point

im starting to think straight again.and i think the reason my mind was messed up these past few days is because im sick. with a weak physical state, with less mental restraints, my mind can easily turn into a loose cannon. at least im feeling better now and i think i can start jogging/exercising again by tomorrow even if i still have a runny nose.

i really need to boost my immune system. age is really making itself noticed. last night something happened that made me remember a college friend's comment. she said that among our blockmates, im the one who will get married first. she was wrong, obviously, but the pertinent comment she said, in addition to what i just stated, is that i remind her of Elijah Price, the character from Unbreakable who has the rare disease in which bones break easily. not that my blockmate really thought i had weak bones but its really because i dont want to be touched and the slightest touch could...break me? well, its been years since i read the message but i think this is what she said...in effect.

anyway, the reason i remembered the comment is because last night, while i was sleeping, as i shifted my position, it felt like my spine cracked. i didnt hear anything but i felt the sharp pain. lately, ive been feeling a creeping pain along my spine when i bend. i think i might have a pinched nerve. i might also have a pinched nerve in my right foot, if there's such a thing. i feel a somewhat similar sensation when i bend my right foot in a certain way. then there's my weak knees. i wonder whats up with my bones, joints and spine? i blame growing old for all of this.
