Sun Damage

I could probably start taking heroin six times a day, chase it with a bottle of whiskey and a game of Russian Roulette; and I will still die sooner from the sun exposure I have gotten up to this point. I have bad sun damage on my face...blotchy skin basically. I am rarely in the sun these days for long periods of time, just as long as my run is or however long it takes me to walk to where I am going...yet my face is still blotchy. I guess this is the one good thing about never being able to surf again, reduced sun exposure.

I was going to go to the beach today for a swim and I decided against it based entirely on this. If I can find a place to do real swims then I will go, but I am not doing the beach again without surfing or serious swimming. If I am going to die at 29 from sun exposure it is absolutely not going to be from laying on a towel and sweating in the sand!

I should get a check-up...but...and this brings me to my next semi-rant...since I am uninsured and poor this is out of my means. I have decided that the whole "be healthy" thing is basically rich people talking to themselves. Try eating healthy on a 15 dollar a week budget, try exercising without be able to pay for facilities or on top of a 70 hr a week job. Get regular check-ups? Yeah, pay for my insurance, or the cost of health care without it. Try sleeping well with a bad diet and no exercise. Then try correcting your diet and activity level based on the eviscerated metabolic rate that results from sitting all day at work, eating improperly and then not exercising. Ha! Yeah, class is not an issue anymore...I think the only thing that is universal across classes now is how stupid and deluded people are.
