I am falling apart!
New thing that is happening from inside my human body: When I walk, my left knee clicks. CLICKS. Loudly. Like it sounds like I’m wearing heels, except I am not and instead of it being from a heel, it is from a knee. Dude. Like click, click, click. It is SO annoying. Click, click, click. Can you imagine that sound following you wherever you go? I want to rip my knee out. And I can feel it too. Like some tendon or something ‘catches’ on a piece of bone and then I feel pressure build up and then it clicks. I will spare you the details. The point is, my body is making noises and it’s not coming from my mouth, nose, or butt, where is in general where all the noises should come from a human body. OK I guess I could add hands because you can clap and snap. You guys all know how fond I am of clapping and snapping. Hah. You know, no one ever says that. I LOVE clapping! It is not one of those things adults like to do. I cannot wait to go to the rock show so I can CLAP!
Speaking of rock show, my friend Luke Top opened for Peter Bjorn and John this weekend. Three SOLD-OUT ROCK shows, two in NY and one in Philly. Shows were great. Two other friends are in his band, Micah Calabrese (of Giant Drag, ex-Giant Drag, and now Giant Drag again) and Kangmin who is a man of few words but then when he talks it always blows your mind or makes you laugh. That is the opposite of what I do. I am one of many words, and only few blow your mind. My strategy is to machine gun an area and hope I hit the target, but in the process, I end up killing a lot of old ladies and children and the occasional seal pup. Anyway, I was trying to convince them to do rock squats and guitar solo back bends but they weren’t having it. I hate them. If YOU CAN’T DO A ROCK SQUAT ON STAGE WHAT IS THE POINT OF LIVING?
This is what I know: If I did a rock squat, my knee would probably give out.
I think, maybe just maybe, I am getting old. But it is hard to say.
One of the things that make Los Angeles is the outrageous cadre of TV weathermen with vaguely meteorological-sounding names: Dallas Raines, Johnny Mountain, Fritz Coleman. If I were a weatherman I would call myself Rod Lightning.
BTW there is a fix for that knee problem on Craig’s List. Claims you will be able to go (silently) from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Rock squats too. Think of this as getting new front-wheel drive with benefits. I read about this on eBay.
Thanks for those sharing those music links …ubercool.
so guess what. my mom is a nurse, and she says you could be stretching your acl, or the tendons are popping over the joint. when you stretch, it lets out the air and makes a popping noise. i hope it doesn’t get serious! however, you could roll around in a tricked out wheelchair for life
We can be left knee twins now!
Hello, Annie! It may also be a meniscus tear, the stuff lining your knee joint! Sometimes when that gets loose or tears, it might sound like a click.
Does it ever feel like it locks? Is it swollen? Painful? Leaking orange fluid? Is it made of metal? What does it smell or taste like?
These are questions you may want your doctor to ask you, especially if this continues!
Also, Mr. Pony is currently very drunk.
Dude I have the same prob pressure builds up in my knee and it pops. But only when I’m in full stride. Its so weird. I need help but I don’t have insurance. Aaaaaaaaaa
