My illness: Emphysema

What Is Emphysema? Emphysema is a degenerative disease that usually develops after many years of assault on lung tissues from cigarette smoke or other toxins that pollute the air. These toxins destroy the small air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, that stretch as they transport oxygen from the air to the blood and then shrink as they force out carbon dioxide. As a result, the lungs lose their elasticity, and exhaling becomes difficult as the damaged lungs trap air and cannot effectively exchange it with fresh air. As the damage progresses, the effort needed to breathe increases and, ultimately, each breath becomes labored. (Illustration provided by the American Medical Association.) Emphysema is one of a group of lung diseases referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that can interfere with normal breathing. Other diseases that come under COPD include asthma and chronic bronchitis. According to the American Lung Association (ALA), nearly 16 million Americans are estimated to suffer from some form of COPD, and COPD is the fourth-ranking cause of death just behind heart ailments, cancers, and stroke.

Having some so called friends...

Over here where I am I have (or had) these 2 so called friends (one male & one female), they are dating each other and the female named Gemma happens to be another mate of mine's sister.
Now I was texting Gemma telling how much of a decent lass she is, she was confused as was wondering where I was going with this, she managed to convince me to tell her I like her so I did.
Then Mick (her bf and my so called mate) had a go at me for apparently hitting on Gemma, I put Mick straight then he went off to bed while Gemma kept texting me.
Gemma said she likes me too and would like to go out for a drink sometime (I found this hard to believe to be honest).
We did discuss it every now & then, I know that Mick & Gemma's relationship isn't gonna last very long whether I intervined or not.
A couple of days later I get told by Mick that this Gemma liking me was a joke (apparently), it was so funny I forgot to laugh.
Well because of this I told them they no longer exsist to me so yeah I am annoyed by this even though I did partially see it coming.

About Mugen...

Mugen is a fighting game for the PC where you can download & add ANY fighters you want, whether they're from Streetfighter, Mortal Kombat, Marvel, DC, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Dragon Ball Z and various Anime's and more, you can even add stages and theme music for that stage.I currently have a tool that allows me to edit colours of any character I want, I also know how to change the character's name's and the sizes of the characters, I also have a tool that'll let me create my own Mugen character which I hope to do at some point, what you'll need is the Mugen Character Maker, a sprite sheet for the character you want to create and sounds for the moves they do (like "HADOUKEN/SHO-RYU-KEN" for Ryu/Ken for instance).

Many people have made their own Mugen's available to download so you can either choose to make your own from scratch or download a pre-made one by someone else.
You can find several pre-made Mugen's at www.caiman.us
