I’m not really sure what the deal is, but for the last couple of weeks, I have been having worse acne than I have ever had in my life! It is not only embarrassing, but it is really just starting to piss me off. Part of the problem is that I sit in front of the mirror and pick at the little demons, like it is going to make them go away. To be quite honest, in the past, when I would get a zit or two, picking them would make them go away. But I think that the variety I am currently plagued with is some strain of super zit. Because I pick at them, and they just get worse the next day. I have this behemoth between my eyes, that I managed to turn into a huge red scab. It was finally starting to go away yesterday and a new one cropped up right next to it. What the crap?!!! It’s like I’m battling the Hydra. I have decided that my little, eh um, “problem,” is most likely related to the total garbage that I tend to shove into my mouth and call food. That, coupled with the fact that I drink more coke than water, at a ratio of about 10 to 1. I’m not sure how much I am going to be able to alter my eating habits in the short run, but I can definitely do something about the coke intake. I decided that I’m going to forgo the coke, and only drink water for an entire week. I’m hoping that it will lead to thinner blood–> better circulation–> easier for bloodstream to carry away infection from pores–> easier for lypmatic system to filter blood, and blah blah blah. See, it is super scientific, so it HAS to work. I know, you probably don’t think that it can be done, the whole coke omission thing. I’m having my doubts as well. but I’m going to give it a shot, in the name of clear skin. Because I seriously cannot handle waking up with another addition to my festering little collection of infected clogged pores. Wish me luck.

I think we should have a competition to name your zit/scab/hydra. I suggest we call him Burt. I’ll call the the two of you JB for short.
If i can do it with coffee and tea, i bet you can do it with coke. poeple might poke fun at you for the first bit but you’ll get over it and the zits for sure.
Love the zit fest Jake. Been too long since we have seen you! But we can put it off until the festering problem is taken care of!
Take care.
