Life : Medication and It's Adverse Side Effects.

I wrote this on a site talking about xenical:
I took approximately 2 Xenical
pills, 120mm. I am lactose intolerant. I avoid milk/dairy products like the plague. I now also avoid
products with eggs in them as well due to recent findings that i have bowel problems with them.
Anyways, over the past 24 to 30 hours, I've had nothing but gas, "anal-seepage"(when you think your
going to pass gas, you actually leak into your clothing). It also takes away your mobility to get
things done and worrying about making an accident on yourself. Also making sure that you have proper
access to a wash cloth or baby wipe/wet one to rinse your underside.
My purpose
in posting this is to discourage those taking Xenical as it is not in my opinion appropriate for
losing weight. This pill will only give you a quick fix for a major life changing problem. If you
have the money at your disposal and a health club near by, your best bet is to gain some more
muscle. Then much of your weight will drop--quantity may vary.
This pill is
probably the most horrific experience I've ever encountered as far as side effects go. Oily orange
discharge is not a pretty sight. Nor does the fact that when you eat, you almost think your food
smalls like what is coming out of your anus.
Ponderance : A moment in time; An attempt at Introspection.

Ever have one of those days where you were somewhat upbeat and then suddenly you decide to do
something 'upbeat', then suddenly once again, you lose that enthusiasm to do something useful ? I
swear, my entire life seems to be short periods of motivation with a gravitation pull to piss it all
away within moments of inspiration.
If you know of me or actually know me you
will have learned that I'm a computer science major. Thing about us software nerds is we have so
many moments of inspiration it's hard to figure out what we should pursue as a goal. I mean there
are so many things I could get into, but I just lack that essential inspiration to tackle
problems.
I guess a lot of it also comes down to my study ethic as well. I mean I
do fairly decent in school considering I got an 88/B+ on my last Calculus 2 exam, but I never put in
that 100% effort to anything. I always balance off this idea that I could always be doing something
else. Pragmaticizing the goal at hand, that inspirational moment of beauty, then smashing it with a
lead fist because I suddenly lose interest or focus.
If anyone actually will see
this, how have you attempted to overcome your pragmastizicing (is that even a word?). I don't know
if it is that I procrastinate, or pragmastizicing (I guess this word is invented as to say are you
being pragmatic about what your spending your time on). I guess when I think about why I do this, I
think of the old saying, don't work hard; think smart. So I’m always looking around trying
to think what is useful and what I should work on that won't cause me to give up 10 minutes after I
start.
