As a guy who's dealt with a bit of hypogonadism (and a bit of gynecomastia) due to a well-placed benign tumor on my pituitary gland... You have one other thing to look forward to- Looking younger than your actual age for the rest of your life.

How do you feel about that?

Guy who had a double pulmonary embolism a year ago here.

You make me feel like a parent (well, I'm 41, but not one yet) because of all this recklessness. You're not supposed to drink AT ALL while on the Coumadin, because they both act to thin your blood. Also you're putting your liver through extra work and that's never good (if livers could talk...)

So you go from a highly dangerous sport that resulted in a spinal injury, to a probable leg blood clot because you now can't move your legs which resulted in the embolism (I got mine from a long aircraft flight where I apparently took it a little too easy and didn't drink enough Bloody Marys), to not following doctors' orders.

Are you actually trying to kill yourself, except with flair? Because you're doing a convincing job.

You get points for spirit, though. You'll need that.

Honestly, I came here simply to say "Hot." and left here thinking "Goddamn."

What makes you pay for a music album? It's just bits. It should be in the public domain, right?

What gives a Mona Lisa value? It's just a wood frame, some old canvas and paint, right?

What gives the words "I do" from your suddenly-wife meaning? It's just sound waves, right? Someone could literally just play a recording of someone saying "I do" instead...

I recommend you think deeply about what "value" actually means, and especially how immaterial it is.

What you think is "real" is in fact a very small part of the world and your life experience. I'd even go so far as to say that what we call "real" is in fact merely a catalyst to express the real value, which is... not real. ;)

Why do people pay to go on a rollercoaster which gives them a small extra (but very real) risk of having a horrible accident?

Lol. Seriously, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, but if you want to do good in the world before the inevitable bucket-kicking then you're going to have to value your own life a tad more. I almost died and it freaked me the fuck out and changed the way I value a lot of things.
