Craziness!

I just read this really cool article from following Matt Damon on twitter. you can read it here and watch a video. http://gizmodo.com/5277456/stem-cell-contact-lenses-cure-blindness-in-less-than-a-month I copied a bit of it here:

Here's something that people with poor or no vision will be excited about: three patients had their sight restored in less than a month by contact lenses cultured with stem cells.

All three patients were blind in one eye. The researchers extracted stem cells from their working eyes, cultured them in contact lenses for 10 days, and gave them to the patients. Within 10 to 14 days of use, the stem cells began recolonizing and repairing the cornea.

Of the three patients, two were legally blind but can now read the big letters on an eye chart, while the third, who could previously read the top few rows of the chart, is now able to pass the vision test for a driver's license. The research team isn't getting over excited, still remaining unsure as to whether the correction will remain stable, but the fact that the three test patients have been enjoying restored sight for the last 18 months is definitely encouraging. The simplicity and low cost of the technique also means that it could be carried out in poorer countries.

Isn't that so cool and exciting. If people can use stem cells from eyes to correct eyes. There is no limit to the possibilities. Perhaps they will not need to get them from fertilized eggs for the Parkinson's cure. It's amazing what scientist discover. Can you imagine being completely blind and being able to see for the first time? Like in the movie Blind Dating he gets these glasses that allows him to see shadows, pretty cool go see the scene here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_u4ZAVslu8&feature=related Really good movie by the way, funny, there is lots of sex jokes in it though.

Well. I'm a terrible person. My biggest vice has been revealed to me. I'm a gossiper. And I will not take that crap anymore. I will not get sucked in by it's evilness. I don't even mean the things that come out of my mouth I came clean to the person I talked about and apologized for my part in it. I feel terrible that it hurt her so much, she's a good person. I'm sad that it affected others, they should deal with their stuff when they are ready. Sorry. I will not say another word. If I get the urge to say anything negative about someone I'm going to stop myself, think of something I love about them and say that instead. I will out grow this childishness. Gossip eats away at your soul. I don't even understand why I do it. I didn't gossip in high school. Is it the environment? Am I trying to fit in? It's frustrating and I'm not going to let it take me over any longer.

I enjoyed the Bible study today. It goes something like this. Our Physical selves need food so we feed it whatever is around. We sometimes chose to feed it healthily. Our spiritual selves need to be fed too but it is always feeding, On everything in life that we take in; movies, pictures, songs etc. We can chose to feed our spiritual hunger with healthy things like the bible and prayer. Deep stuff!!!

I chatted with one of my oldest friends today, Tracey, I miss her. Glad she helped me decide to be real.

Well I wrote a lot of thoughtful stuff. I wonder if anyone still reads this? Am I even a bit interesting? Oh well It's my way of venting.

Good Night!
