Akijikan: A Renaissance and a Broken Dream
Hello all you readers (all being Simon and my girlfriend). I know that I have been AWOL concerning this blog. I may be down, but I am not out. I may be behind, but I am here to catch up.
I am here to announce a renaissance in this blog. I am going back to my roots! I am going to concetrate on photos. I think that they have always been the best part of this blog. I'm bringing them back!
I had been ready to make that happen today. Unfortunately my plans were foiled. I was going to pst a photo-documentation of my first trip to the Plasma bank and my experiences donating plasma.
Unfortunately I was stopped dead in my tracks by the manager of the place. By bringing a camera in there and taking pictures of the process, I was expressing total disregard for HIPAA (which basically says patients have a right to privacy; see the link to wikipedia for more).
She made sure to see me delete all my photos from the facility. Too bad. I had a really good picture from the finger prick for a blood sample.
Don't worry though. I will be bringing the photos! I am embarking on a trip to LaCrosse, Wisconsin to visit my girlfriend and see her new apartment.
Stay tuned!
PS: Also as part of this renaissance will be an updated layout. I'm thinking something fluid.

Akijikan's First Birthday
Well when I was in the hospital I missed the first birthday of akijikan. So here is a proper entry to celebrate what should of been 5-9-05 but wasn't because 4 days ealier I was entering the hospital.
It's hard to believe I've been at this for a year, but I guess I have. Some times have been sparse of entries, but I'm still here and akijikan is going to stay.
The comments are a great thing, because I enjoy the opinion and support and appreciation I get from you. No matter how much I screw up, my audience is still here, reading along.
Akijikan has endured an interesting year. Among many other things this blog has seen 4 different homes.

I'm glad to say that I believe that this current host is going to be the home of akijikan for a while.
Akijikan has also been a survivor of a very self-destructive disease: addiction. I've been self-medicating since I've had this blog and I have done so many horrible things to my life with drugs.
I've compiled a list of notable posts from the past year:
