Non Stop Hiccups

Feb 03, 2010
Today is day 3 of my hiccups. I’ve come to the acceptance that there’s nothing I can do about them but relax. I’ve tried every maneuver known to man. The longest I’ve had hiccups is 4 days. Back then I went to my primary physician and they prescribed Thorazine. (Chlorpromazine effectively treats schizophrenia, severe mania in people with bipolar disorder, and uncontrollable hiccups). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorpromazine for more detailed information. The downside of taking the Thorazine is you become catatonic and fall asleep pretty quickly so you need to take a day off from work or whatever activities you have planned if you take the pill during the daytime, which I don’t recommend. For the most part I usually try different breathing exercises to alleviate the problem. Finding the ‘zen’ in hiccups is a tough call. Sometimes I even try moving my body in different positions just to see if this helps.
The best treatment I’ve had is distraction to help me forget I have hiccups.
The second best treatment I have is burping. Not like regular burping, but deep guttural burps. The kind Goliath would have after eating in the Greek myths.
One thing I advise is noticing what you may have eaten days prior to the hiccups happening. Also, notice your stress level within your life. This is why zen breathing exercises or distraction helps. It removes one from the troubles, but this is just momentary. It’s best to really pay attention to what may have caused the hiccups, especially if it’s something you can avoid.
For instance, I ate a green banana. Not completely green, but green enough to not be tendered ‘yellow’ or fully ripe. I hate overly sweet bananas. Right after I ate the banana, I felt the hiccups coming. Now I’ve been eating bananas like crazy and I rarely get hiccups. But at this point I may need to deem this fruit out of my diet. You may have to look at something you eat that triggers your hiccups if you have them longer than a day. I don’t believe it’s an allergy, but I feel like there’s something in my belly just triggering the hiccups to come alive.
Also, I have a tendency to notice that when I drink my diet sodas like Diet Coke or Diet Mountain Dew along with bananas they tend to trigger the hiccups. Thought I should mention this as well, though I believe it’s all coincidental unless someone tells me it happens to them too.
Maybe avoid sodas + bananas. Just a thought.
Prolonged hiccuping causes me just irritability, lack of energy and sleep, overall just helplessness. When the moment comes and you feel like they are gone after such a long hiccup episode, I feel like I’ve re-found my life and breath. You never really appreciate the air you breathe like you do after hiccuping for days.
If you have been hiccuping for more than 3 days I suggest seeing a doctor. Today is my 3rd day. If they aren’t gone today, I’ll need to seek help. I do my best usually to prolong seeking prescribed alternatives to natural healing, but sometimes these hiccups can kick your butt.

Here’s some things I may have overlooked that may have caused me hiccups:
1. Possible Ulcer
2. Allergies to Oatmeal or other grains
3. Excessively fatty foods such as cheese, cream cheese, etc
4. Stress
5. Excessive caffeine intake
6. Smoking
I’ve pretty much stopped eating anything excessively fatty, cut most ‘gluten’ products out of my diet, started excercising, stopped smoking entirely and cutting back on caffeine and haven’t had another hiccup episode for a couple of months.
My guess is that stress plus the list above just aggravated my intestines and stomach.
For the most part I feel much better. I still have stress, but now I don’t use any unnatural devices or caffeine to deal with it.

“You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” – Steve Jobs
Create Your Own Bike Route On Yahoo? Maybe One day

This is just a mockup. I have yet to find a site that does this yet.
After visiting Trek.com’s Project One build your own custom bike website I thought well wouldn’t it be awesome to be able to create your own bike route using Yahoo, Google or Bing maps?
I started visiting sites and searching for anyone that may do this. Google kind of does this, but it’s not user friendly. Bing didn’t show up in search results, nor did Yahoo for what I’d like to build. Some other small sites like mapmyride.com try to do this, but the map never displayed on my Apple nor was the site user friendly at all. It was bombarded with ads and basically scared me.
Since I like how pleasant Yahoo Maps are I decided to just design what I want on my own.
Here’s what I was thinking.
You want to bike, but some areas may be downright unsafe.
You want to find different types of routes you may not have known about.
Maybe you don’t want to bike alone.
Maybe you’d like to find a scenic route.
You’d like to be able to tag a ride you visited with your own description.
Maybe you want to create your own bike route by dragging and dropping or adding letters to the map to mark or ‘pin’ areas and tag each pin just for record keeping.
I actually wanted to do this also since I remember there were areas I completely wanted to avoid and thought it would be nice to share with others
So that’s just an idea. Maybe one day it’ll become a reality.

The Internet Explained In A Comic With Details

Servers do stuff and are kind of like your brain, except they need a user to input information, unless a user told the server to do stuff before hand. So servers are kind of like husbands.
Data is where stuff is stored which acts almost entirely like a brain, except it has no body so it can never run. So data is kind of useless by itself.
Wireless is this thing that connects to Fiber Optics or what you may also call “Cable” or “The Internet”. It emits a blue signal into the air and it sends information if a user requests it, though sometimes it emits information if it feels like it. So Wireless is much like listening to other peoples conversations.
Fiber Optics are cables that send user requested data to servers. Sometimes if the server feels like responding you will get an answer. Typically all answers are subjective unless it’s about math. So Fiber Optics are like penises.
Old Phones are something you used to plug into a wall that probably was using Fiber Optics and you could hear data that sounded like “ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR”. After a little while of the Old Phones making that sound they would go “EEE-EEE-EEE-EEE”. So Old Phones are very similar to ambulances.
Iphones are considered “Smart Phones” which unlike Old Phones give you new things like the ability to talk to people for 4 or 5 minutes before you have to recall them. Iphones also use the Magic Pole to transmit every little thing you do or say to the Internet with or without your consent since a Server was used by a human which may or may not have been a hacker looking to steal information. So the iphone is kinda like a dragon, mysterious and beautiful.
Internet is a device used to send intormation to people. Before we used Old Phones and before then we used to walk up to people and have conversation using two cans and some string. So the Internet is like a ghost that talks just to you and sometimes to someone else.
Magic Poles are used to receive and transmit information requested by users and transmitted to Satellites. Sometimes a Magic Pole can be switched off using a Switch. So a Magic Pole is kind of like a penis.
Switch is used to turn something off or on. So a Switch is kinda like being hit in the head, though sometimes you don’t get knocked out…
Ethernet is used when a user plugs a cable into a wall which then connects to Fiber Optics which then connects the user or hacker to the Internet. So Ethernet is like a black hole.
User is someone that may do stuff with the data, servers or the Internet or sometimes plug something into Ethernet or turn on a computer or play with their iPhone or pretend to be a hacker. So a User is like a Snickers bar.
Hackers are like users but more intelligent and usually wear sinister grins and heckle at Users even if there is no User around. Hackers also attempt to steal data, even if it’s just one pixel worth. HAckers generally use Photoshop if they fail and then use Facebook or some other social media to show their hacks. So Hackers are like ties.
Computers are used to connect to the Internet, do stuff with servers and databases, connect to Fiber Optics, can plug into Phones, are quite necessary for Iphones, create social mediums online, contain and play music, videos, and allow you to play games, return results from the Internet, can be as small as an atom or as large as Satellites, or are Satellites, or tell the switch what to do but always rely on a User or a Hacker to do something. So Computers are like Cheese or God.
FB is a type of social media where Users and Hackers get together using Computers and talk a lot in order to feel better about themselves or feel like they’ve contributed to society in some way or to make some new friend even though Users just talk to specific people. FB allows users to make buckets and put Users into buckets or put Users into many buckets. FB also let’s anyone see everything about you, just like a Hacker would, except they say they don’t, but instead they just keep it to themselves and then sell the information such as how many times Sally User said, “Pizza” or “Inception” today. So FB is like the Devil or hemorroids.

Spotted Indian Starlings or Common Mynas

This is the second time I’ve gone two Publix and attempted to catch a picture of this bird which I believe could be an Indian Starling or a Common Myna. Unfortunately they are quick, and seem rather intelligent and they make it rather difficult to take a photo of them.
