Don't do it Mike!!!

Last year Mike Atwood had surgery on one of his knees, after which he was as spry as a spring chicken. This surgery enabled him to improve his quality life and to yet again partake in some of life's rewarding adventures. This continued pursuit of his passions, namely bike riding, went on for a great many months, until, recently, it was discovered that his other knee had possibly the same flaw, and may also require this life altering surgery.

Now, it is perfectly normal for our bodies to start to fall apart as we grow into our advanced years. However, for someone to be falling apart so quickly is a downright mystery. Could it be all of those years of abusing his body by filling it with sugary caffeinated beverages?

Coke addiction is by far one of the worst travesties a person can wreak upon his/her own body. In Mike's case this craving has always been an unquenchable thirst. His body yearning for the instant gratification, the rush, the ecstacy of sugar and caffeine shooting through his veins.

Apparently all of this has taken it's toll on Mike. I have recently been made aware that Mike is now on a mission to drown himself from the inside out by self-administering a daily dose of water so large as to be nearly incomprehensible to the Human mind. It is my understanding that Mike has committed to not only giving up the Coke, but to replacing it with approximately 64 ounces of water every day. As we all know this is insane, and utterly impossible. This feat would be equal to drinking 8 full glasses of water, and Mike proposes to do this to himself every single day.

I know, I am not alone in my concern for Mike regarding this. I have tried in earnest and with all of my "friend powers" to dissuade him from this course of action. However, it seems that no amount of expressed concern, no amount of warning about hyponatremia will deter him.

If you are a friend of Mike, or even if you just care about all living things (including hippopotami and sea urchins), please join me in helping Mike feel like life is still worth living, and that water poisoning is not an option. Show him that you care and want him to go on living by visiting his blog at http://www.ridehorsey.blogspot.com/
and leaving a comment for him.

Thanks you everyone, we may have just saved his life.
