It’s 4:41AM, and I am retouching my fingernails with nail polish.

It’s not a big deal, but I guess

This is in preparation for my long 26-hour ride that will begin in the afternoon.

Prepare for lots of mini-updates with photos relating to the journey.

With Tehetena and Salvador.

According to my physician, cardiologist, and tests, I have palpitation. I am currently under further testing with a holter monitor covered all over the front-side of my body. Hopefully, this will result in a proper explanation and treatment for my sporadic (and conscious) black-out sessions that have frequented more recently.

And WHAT? No more spicy foods?! How am I ever going to satisfy my extreme spicy-food-loving craze? Okay, that’s the privilege in me talking. I can limit my diet–who am I to complain? I’m getting health care in America! Quite expensive, but I’m getting it! On top of that, I must intake doctor-prescribed chemicals to calm my heart. Talk about heart break on the real!

Doctor, I expect this to heal my heart in all ways possible, both literally and figuratively. I hope the video below reminds you of chemical-consumption that is parallel to the money you’re making from the meds. You, drug dealer, you! Oh wait, you’ve got your posse at the pharmacy that takes care of that! Oh, btw, I hope you understand Japanese…

Note: It actually looks more serious than it really is. I’m doing fine, really.
