TV shows and my 'busted' knee...

It's been a while since I’ve written a personal blog entry, and I’ve been wanting to do a lot more than I have. How’s my life going? Great. But it seems like it’s going 200 MPH. Work is awesome. Life is just good in general.

My roommates and I watch the new episodes of ‘The Office’ and ‘Greys Anatomy’ [sigh] finally decent TV shows are back on the air. Steve Carell rocks. Was it just me, or did the summer seemed to drag on with some really lame sitcoms and reality TV shows? Lately, my roommate #1 keeps trying to drag me into watching the absolutely horrific MTV show Laguna Beach. I’ve given it a fair chance – hell I’ve watched/wasted two hours of my life watching the first episodes and have yet to find one piece of dialogue compelling. Whatever.

Next month I’m having surgery on my ACL in my knee. I managed to somehow ‘tear’ my ACL while playing recreational co-ed indoor soccer last month. What’s really strange is that I’m able to walk around, go to work, and do all daily activities without any problem – it completely blows my mind that I’m able to do this. WTF? Anyways, the thing that has me worried is that the surgery I’m having is an ‘Allograft’. This basically is taking a cadaver aka dead person’s graft tissue. Gross isn’t it? Apparently it’s a very common practice, but it just freaks me out a "dead persons" body part will be inside of me. Weird.

The doctor hasn’t mentioned anything about "how" they choose the type of “dead person” I get the body part from, which got me to wondering… can’t I at least know a little background about the person who I’m getting the body part from? I mean, I figure it’d be nice to know a background from whom I’m getting the body part? What if it was someone famous? An athlete? Politician? Rock star? More than likely it's probably going to come from some dead dude in prison [pause] OK now I'm freaking myself out thinking about this. I'm just going to hope for the best.
