Still Strugglin'

I used a shot of a potent corticoid (which dermatologists hate in atopic patients like me, but what do they know about how much an eczema patient suffers? I did not, neither as a doctor myself neither when my Atopic Dermatitis was already a *major* annoyance in my life, and it wasn't 10% as bad as it has been now) so I could give myself a break from this stupid disease. I was going crazy scratching myself all the time. And I lost my girlfriend too - because she could no longer stand my suffering and not beng able to go out with me and stuff. But she helped me out so much and I will be always grateful for that.

So my face is all clean and beautiful today ;) - Much better than before:





But I know this will last for a few days only (and possibly come back worse, a common side effect of using this medication), so what to do in the meantime?

- Relax, relax, relax;
- Watch a lot of soccer games (Yay! My team, São Paulo, the current world champion, won yesterday!);
- Get outta this freakin' home in the weekend;
- Stop telling myself that I should be actively seeking ways to make money on the net (because it's the only way I can try nowadays) and give myself a break and blog for fun (It's much better to blog for fun in blogs I like to write on like freewaremac than thinking about Adsense and all those things - I may be new 'round here, but I have Brazilian Portuguese blogs since 2000).

I'd like my Atopic Dermatitis / Eczema Forums to take off... I don't understand Goooooogle. How can that page have a PR of 4 when nobody but me posted there?

Go figure.

'Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me

Extreme ways that that help me
Help me out at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned

I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along

I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't believe

I would stand in line for this
It's always good in life for this'
