Here is the greatest and most confusing video ever.

www.joeycarlson.com

When I was originally injured, I was told that spinal cord injuries would more than likely be cured in ten years. Well, it's been about eight and a half years and not a heck of a lot has happened. In fact, I recently read an article where they said that they expect a cure in 10-15 years. What have they been doing for the last eight years?

I remember talking to a guy while I was living at Courage Center who told me that he had been injured for 40 years, and they had been talking about a cure ever since his injury. This guy (I forget his name) said that he spent most of his life waiting for a cure. At that point he was convinced that he had spent his entire life waiting for something that he would never see in his lifetime.

Well… I haven't spent very much time thinking about or waiting for a cure, but there are moments when I think, "What if I was cured? How would my life change?"

I had one of those moments today when I read this article. It's a very small glimmer of hope for people like me. Hopefully , if the study is successful, they are able to treat people like me and that old man I met at Courage Center who have had our injuries for a number of years.

I was looking at the stats on my YouTube video "The Watson's Girl Song," and noticed that several random websites were linking to it.


On this website my video is refered to as "creeeeeepy"


And on this one I'm refered to as "the gay guy from Talk soup"


Also on youtube itself it someone wrote the following-


"have you seen her in the new 4th of july commercial? she's got that outfit huggin those tits of hers nice and tight!"

Wow! I've created a monster!

I added a video about my brother dying from a drug overdose to the About Joey section of www.joeycarlson.com.

I just added a new section about my spinal cord injury to www.joeycarlson.com. I posted a bunch of videos and stories.


Check it out!


Also, I added my entire novel under the fiction section.

1. Why are do all scandals end in “gate” and music festivals end in “stock”?

2. I’ve never seen a bird suddenly appear. Have you?

3. I wish I was more disappointed that the Twins lost to the Sox. For some reason I didn’t really care.

4. I wish I worked in an Action Office instead of a cubicle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Office.

5. I just started watching Lost on DVD—Awesome show!

6. I have NFL Sunday Ticket and can testify that the Vikings are by far the most boring team in the NFL.

7. Should McCain’s pick for V.P. cause us to question his decision making ability?
 
8. My brother killed all of the frogs… on purpose. I killed three chipmunks… by accident… I swear I just wanted to stun them. I used to call them chickmunks. I think I may go back to that some day.

9. I can’t decide what would be worse, water boarding or prison rape.

10. Here’s a great quote by Douglas Adams, “Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

11. Why do most lists go to ten? I guess God started this trend with his Commandments. I wonder what else David Letterman has in common with God.

12. I think I will put my story back on www.joeycarlson.com this week.

So, my website hasn't been updated for awhile. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to update it with. 

A song about my first crush, Jennifer "The Watson's Girl." If you can't see the video, visit www.joeycarlson.com.

So, after American Gladiators was over tonight I was really bored. Nothing was on TV. I felt like I had no choice.

I put a bunch of different hats on my dog and took pictures with my cell phone.

If Kelly was a person I could see him wearing this hat. He would be sitting in an Irish pub, tipping back a pint, and waiting for all the young lasses to notice his good looks. He would definitely be a good lookin' human dude.

Big Pimpin'. Does anyone hear a train comin'? What kind of train could that be. Maybe a hoooooooe train!!!!!

I got this hat about nine years ago when I made Cat 1. You don't know what Cat 1 is? My suggestion-- ask someone in spandex about it.

As a pup residing in Minnesota, a good ski cap is a necessity.

An Activa DBS hat. What, you don't know what Activa DBS is? Google it! It's some pretty wild stuff!

If it was politically to call a picture of a dog sexy. I would call this "one sexy picture." But since it's not PC, I won't.

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

This is my klapmut. It means clap hat in Dutch. If you don't understand why the dutch would call it a lap hat, I suggest you track down that guy in spandex again.

--Everyone talks about going “green,” but something called “green” house gas is bad. That’s odd.

--There should be a musical about Ghandi—staring Donnie Osmond.

--The recent events in China and Myanmar really hurt the argument for the existence of a loving God. But I guess the existence of  “The Watson’s Girl” is an equally good argument for his existence.

--Sierra Mist undercover orange is good, but I could use a little caffeine right now. 

--If I was in high school, would I have to ride the short bus?

--Maybe asking, “What is the meaning of life?” is akin to asking “What is the meaning of a pebble’s existence?” 


--I still remember when Steve F. first uttered the title of this blog entry. It was hilarious. It was in high school.


--I want to be Tony Stark.

--How long into this season before I become bored with the Twins? I think I lost interest about ¾ of the way through last season.

--My favorite job I ever had paid $90.00 a week. Money is definitely overrated.

--Why does everyone, including me, hate everything about Dan Frailich?
