For anyone who is friends with siliconedreamer (Arvin) please keep him in your thoughts and prayers right now.

He went to Ohio last weekend to celebrate his birthday with his family. On Sunday, he suffered some kind of seizure that caused his legs to give out. He fell and broke a rib which punctured one of his lungs. He was in ICU for almost 24 hours and the doctors believe he may have some kind of serious heart problem so they are keeping him there (in Akron) for a week to run tests.

He wanted me to pass this along in case anyone was looking for him as he will have spotty internet / phone access. He seemed to be in good spirits and hopes to be back in Pittsburgh by the end of this upcoming weekend. I'll keep you posted if I hear from him again.

Friend: "Tara, you're such a pessimist."
Tara: "No I'm not, I just can't avoid noticing how much I end up getting screwed by almost everyone and everything in my life. I think I was born under a bad sign or something. It's becoming unavoidable, me always getting the short end of the stick. Though I have actually resolved alot of my pessimistic attitudes by just accepting that I have some of the worst luck in the universe."
Friend: "And how's that not being a pessimist?"
Tara: "The trick is in the acceptance. The absolute, undaunting acceptance. I lovingly refer to it as The Fuck It Theory. It seems to work for me when I am about to unravel at the seams. Which is almost every damn day. I don't think that's very pessimistic. In fact, I think there's even a little bit of optimism in that theory...somewhere."
Friend: "Huh."
Tara: "Seriously."

Friend: "So how were your holidays?"
Tara: "Fucking miserable. They represented a whole year of wasted time, disasterous relationships and pointless endeavors. I really feel like that main character in Office Space when he was at the hypno-therapist and he was like,
"Every day is worse than the day before. So when you see me, that is on the worst day of my life."
...and then the hypno-therapist is like,
"So this has been the worst day of your life?"
...and he's like, "Yeah."
Then the hypno-therapist says,
"Wow. That's messed up."

Friend: "Hahaha...I love that movie."
Tara: "Yeah, me too."
