HAVING YOUR THROAT SLIT SUCKS

Really, you think it sounds kinda cool at first, maybe the chicks'll dig it yo. But once the injection comes and the slicing starts, you change your perspective on the whole thing pretty quickly. Not only does it drain all the energy from your body, but you have to deal with bandages and changing the dressing and stuff. I thought walking around with a gaping neck wound would be cool, you know. But once again, you realize that with every ounce of blood that drips out of your body there's a little piece of you that really wishes it wan't involved in any part of the process at all.

So why the neck gashing? It's either one of three things. Place your bets for:

STAPH INFECTION
MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus ... google it)
SOMETHING UNKNOWN

Since the STAPH INFECTION is the most treatable, I say it won't be that one. And though SOMETHING UNKNOWN would mean the possibility of ongoing tests and medications and such, don't rule MRSA out. It is, in my doctor's words, "very difficult to treat..." and can take an undetermined amount of time to cure.

The upside? Lots of costly, painful, recurring boils (see old testament) that make me wish I was dead.

GO 2006! Way to test my power of positive thinking, you bitch!
