I know it well

I haven't blogged in a while. Nothing amazingly notable has happened, with the exception of me visiting a neurologist, then getting another MRI. What is it with me and the medical world? I felt like I was finally free of it once my asthma left, then I got back pain. I finally get the back pain under control and my jaw dies. So they send me to a neurologist. Normal doctors obviously can't handle the eloquent way in which my body deals with pain. The neurologist thinks it's stress related.

I could have told you that.

But no, we can't risk the chance that they're is a growth or abnormality that could be causing this IN MY BRAIN. So I went into the tube of hell once again. This time the MRI itself wasn't that bad. I thought it was going to go over pretty smoothly. But no. That would have made my prior anxiety in vain. So they had to inject me with the colorant. Never before have I wanted to slap a doctor, but when MRI tech failed to find my vein, and then went on to kept wiggling the needle in my vein I was ready to kill. I had forgotten how much I hate sticking needles into my person. It reminded me of the countless IV drips I was on as a child, with all of my asthma/preemie related issues.I just can't get away from healthcare. It is the ever-present bane of my existence. My parents felt bad after I had to get the MRI/ injection that will scar my psyche forever, so they let me buy some music.
So now I am reveling in some new Bon Iver. The Blood Bank EP is amazing. I was worried that after 'For Emma' anything else he did would be too similar, and boring but this stuff is mind blowing. There are four tracks( Blood Bank, Beach Baby, Babys, and Woods) but the stand out track to me is definitely the title track. It's chilling, and the lyrics are beautiful. Woods completely shocked me, and was totally different from what I would have expected. The songs is composed of the same four lines repeated by Justin Vernon harmonizing with various auto-tuned versions of himself. Take note Lil Wayne; This is how you do auto tune. I highly suggest that people pick up this EP. It's the perfect thing for this time of year.
