                                                      Today, is a very special day,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                     And Mom, there&#x27;s something,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                             I&#x27;d like to say.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;

                                                          Through the years,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                        You&#x27;ve watched me grow,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                           You&#x27;ve guided me,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                           And loved me, so.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;

                                                     Today, I am returning the love,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                      That you have shown to me,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                  Because, I love you so much, Mom,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                    You gave your love, abundantly.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;

                                                     As I write these special words,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                         I recall the many days,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                     When you would help me color,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                   And show your love, in many ways.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;

                                                      The toys you bought for me,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                       The pictures that you took,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                      All the things you did for me,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                       God, I could write a book.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;

                                                That special hug, that only you could give,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                That look in your eye, when you say my
                                                                name,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                      For all of this, I am grateful,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                   My love for you, will always remain.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;

                                                 Oh, and Mom, I should really mention,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                     That no matter what or when,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                     I will be right here, loving you,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                      For, my love will never end. &#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;

                                                       So this gift, I send to you,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                        Today, on Mother&#x27;s Day,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                    Because the words, &#x26;quot;I love you&#x26;quot;,&#x3C;br /&#x3E;
                                                        Are words, I had to say.&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;

<title>Constipation</title>
<link>http://www.zorpia.com/ahbuden/journal/1801456</link>
<description>
&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#1f21ff&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;11:38 PM, Wednesday night&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;. You&#x27;re watching House &#x3C;span style=&#x22;text-decoration: underline;&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;span style=&#x22;font-style: italic;&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;/span&#x3E;&#x3C;/span&#x3E;,
a pint of Ben &#x26;amp; Jerry&#x27;s firmly in hand; the streets outside are
pleasantly alive with the sound of passing cars, and your neighbor
beating his wife. As you watch a full-grown man&#x3C;span style=&#x22;text-decoration: underline;&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;/span&#x3E;
piss blood on himself, you can&#x27;t shake the feeling that something is amiss
in this otherwise perfect scene. Suddenly, you&#x27;re aware of an odd
feeling in your bottom.
Casting it aside as a simple case of soreness, undoubtedly the result
of lying on your ass all day, you re-adjust your position and return to
watching television.
But all night, strange sensations have been at work within your most
intimate reaches. Now they have come to a head - you struggle in your
seat as you feel your inner bowels clench and unclench; a great cataclysm draws near. 
&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;You wince in discomfort as the forces at work grip your rectum. You try to ignore the feeling, put your feet up on the coffee table, lie on your side, and eat more ice cream.
But the pain will not dissipate. With a knowing heaviness, your heart
sinks to your knees. The moment is at hand; the final hour is upon you.
Wide-eyed horror grips your body as you run to the bathroom, and open the door. The toilet
lies stern on the bathroom floor, its great jowls open wide as if to
welcome you into its watery depths. Terror takes hold. You take a deep
breath, pray one last time, and turn to face your enemy.&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;h2 align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;span class=&#x22;mw-headline&#x22;&#x3E;Stage 1: Denial&#x3C;/span&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/h2&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;
&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#1f21ff&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;You are now firmly seated on the toilet&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;, its cold porcelain embrace surrounding your cheeks, seeming to pull them in. Slow, deliberate breaths contrast sharply to your restlessly beating heart. Memories of that night in the hotel, when you couldn&#x27;t poop, are flooding back. &#x3C;em&#x3E;This isn&#x27;t happening&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, you say to yourself. &#x3C;em&#x3E;It&#x27;s probably just a regular old stomachache; I ate some bad curry.&#x3C;/em&#x3E; You embrace this idea. &#x3C;em&#x3E;Yeah, that&#x27;s it. Just a stomachache. It&#x27;ll be over soon, I just gotta calm down.&#x3C;/em&#x3E; You resolve to take some Pepto-Bismol. But something holds you back, bars its way between you and sweet pink relief.
&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;h2 align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;span class=&#x22;mw-headline&#x22;&#x3E;Stage 2: Anger&#x3C;/span&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/h2&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;&#x26;quot;Shit!&#x26;quot; &#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;Anger and doubt rush back. &#x3C;em&#x3E;Why the hell did I eat that curry? I don&#x27;t even like Indian food!&#x3C;/em&#x3E;
In your frustration, you try vainly to alleviate the pressure building
up. You squeeze and you force, tightening your bowels in rhythmic
ascent. Blood rushes to your face as you turn red. &#x3C;em&#x3E;No, not this time!&#x3C;/em&#x3E;
Squeezing and squeezing ever harder, you slowly begin to feel something
inch its way down, bit by bit. Your body desperately wants to release,
and the prospect is so near. You jump up and down in your seat,
thrashing about. &#x3C;em&#x3E;I will not give in!&#x3C;/em&#x3E;You will not give in. Pushing and pushing, the seemlessly endless mass
creeps forward - it&#x27;s almost out. Your face is crimson red, your
knuckles white as they clench the nearby sink. A couple more efforts
and you should have it. &#x3C;em&#x3E;Push...push, damn you!&#x3C;/em&#x3E; The final stretch, it&#x27;s almost there; and just as it&#x27;s about to exit: rejection. The turd retreats back into your body. &#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;&#x26;quot;Shit!&#x26;quot;&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;h2 align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;span class=&#x22;mw-headline&#x22;&#x3E;Stage 3: Bargaining&#x3C;/span&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/h2&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#1f21ff&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;The fury is gone,&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E; slowly replaced by desperation, as you turn to religion. &#x3C;em&#x3E;Please, God, please...I promise I&#x27;ll be good; I&#x27;ll never eat curry ever again!&#x3C;/em&#x3E; You make promises you can never fulfill. &#x3C;em&#x3E;I&#x27;ll even come to church again, please just let me shit one more time!&#x3C;/em&#x3E;
By now, you&#x27;re not even trying to defecate. You reach for the nearest
roll of toilet paper, only to find you threw it across the room during
that last stage. Suddenly, a knock on the bathroom door. &#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x26;quot;Yes?&#x26;quot;&#x3C;/em&#x3E; you manage to blurt out through the tears. It&#x27;s your beloved partner. They must not know what is happening. &#x26;quot;Honey, are you pooping in there?&#x26;quot; they ask. 
&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;Umm, no!&#x3C;/em&#x3E; You reach over to turn on the faucet, letting the reverberations of rushing water mask the sounds of your shame. &#x3C;em&#x3E;I was just, uhh, cutting myself! And now I&#x27;m washing up.&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;A lie told in good faith. They&#x27;ll forgive you later.&#x3C;/font&#x3E;
&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x26;quot;Oh, alright dear. I thought you were taking a load, or something disgusting like that.&#x26;quot; You laugh nervously: &#x3C;em&#x3E;Hehe, don&#x27;t be silly!&#x3C;/em&#x3E;
As they leave, you breathe once more. With the embarrassment of your
situation evaded once again, hollow victory sets in. You let the guilt
overtake you, and settle into a state of deep sadness.
&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;h2 align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;span class=&#x22;mw-headline&#x22;&#x3E;Stage 4: Depression&#x3C;/span&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/h2&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#1f21ff&#x22;&#x3E;The pain has now subsided&#x3C;/font&#x3E;.&#x3C;/strong&#x3E; You and your anus
are too numb to feel anything at this point. Whereas before you might
have made a final attempt at relieving the discomfort, now the effort
seems vain and pointless. &#x3C;em&#x3E;Why bother?&#x3C;/em&#x3E; you ask yourself. &#x3C;em&#x3E;I&#x27;ll still have to crap tomorrow.&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;House&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, you finally manage to stop yourself, and you come to terms with the empty, painful truth.&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;
This sadness seems overwhelming; you can&#x27;t fight the inevitable
conclusion. Sighing and lamenting over lost opportunities,
narrowly-missed chances... &#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;h2 align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;span class=&#x22;mw-headline&#x22;&#x3E;Stage 5: Acceptance&#x3C;/span&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/h2&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#1f21ff&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;There&#x27;s no reason to persist&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;, you say to yourself.
Slowly, you get up from your seat, the chilly hold of its white arms
now only a frigid blush upon your cheeks. You pick up that dropped roll
of toilet paper, spray a shot of Glade, and wash your hands one last time, knowing full well &#x3C;em&#x3E;If I&#x27;m going out like this, I&#x27;m at least going out with dignity. And clean fingers.&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;After all, tomorrow&#x27;s a new day. A new chance to crap.&#x3C;/font&#x3E; 
&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font face=&#x22;tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif&#x22; color=&#x22;#ff4c4c&#x22;&#x3E;With the weight of your shame lifted off your shoulders, and a
glimmer of hope in your heart, you steal a final glance at the toilet. &#x3C;em&#x3E;Maybe we&#x27;re not so different, you and I...&#x3C;/em&#x3E;
As you turn off the lights, a warm glow loans you strength from within.
Looking out into the hallway, you know that nothing has changed. But it
doesn&#x27;t bother you. You&#x27;ve emerged from that lavatory a newly-made
person, ready to face whatever this cruel world can dish out. Ready to
move on, maybe even take a tinkle.
And as you exit the hall, and plop yourself down on the couch, that
heavy weight is lifted even more in the loving embrace of your soul
