I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I consider myself to be a pretty normal/average guy... but that's a subjective term, so I'll let you decide. My friends say I work too much, but I don't mind because I love my job. I am a CMA (Certified Medical Assisstant) working in a pediatric urgent care center. I love working with kids, it's so easy to smile when you're around them... And I feel good about helping them when I can. Sometimes I think the parents need quite a bit of help to, but that's a whole other subject that I'm not going to get into here ; ) I now aspire to become a doctor some day, a surgeon to be a little more specific(subject to change... but I'm pretty sure about this one). Besides medicine, a couple other passions of mine are motorcycles and martial arts. If you've read this far, congratulations... I'll stop here and if you want to know more, just drop me a message! I'm a pretty open person.

My Interests

Long list here, I'll just start on it for now... Medicine, cooking, motorcycles, languages, motorcycles, animals, computers, hiking, camping, snowboarding, beaches, running, martial arts (a number of styles), sciences, people, scenic driving, travel... To name a few, any others you're curious about... Just ask : D

I'd like to meet:

Strong Bad

Music:

I'll listen to just about anything, and enjoy most said "anythings". As far as my preferences go... I prefer not to listen to most rap (the kind where the guy is going on about how bad ass he is and how many hoes he's got), but country and most others including classical I do enjoy.

Movies:

I also enjoy a wide variety of movies. I'll watch horror, drama, romance, romantic comedy, action, old, new, anime, you name it... My only little "thing" here is that I tend to like certain types of movies less the more of them I watch. As in I get sick of romantic comidies if that's all I've been watching lately.

Television:

I RARELY watch TV... Been this way my whole life. It just has never interested me that much. I suppose I could watch the news (but it's biased a lot of the time) or cooking shows or something else educational... But I tend to get my information elsewhere.

Books:

I used to read for recreation a lot. But in the last few years I seem to have stopped this practice. I still read quite a bit, but it's mostly educational material (which I do enjoy reading unlike most) such as books on languages, medicine, newspapers (biased but funny sometimes), motorcycle magazines (they're educational to!) etc

Heroes:

Heroes huh? I never really grew up with a hero... There are people that I admire in certain ways though. My father, my brother, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and anyone else who puts that much dedication into martial arts : ) But I'm just rambling, I don't really have any "heroes".

My Blog

Thunder!!

I think thunderstorms are rad ... There's one going on right over my head. The only annoying thing, is that every time there's a boom, I hear this group of girls scream their heads off ... Don't know ...

Gawd...

I hate it when it's slow here at work... At least I had a whole chicken to eat today, and everyone shared their pizza with me on top of that. I think I'm going to go do a Cold Stone run later... The ...

Bored...

I'm almost always up at this time of night (or morning, whatever)... Sucks getting home between 1AM-2AM... Cause I can't fall right to sleep, and there's never anything to do this time of night. Anyon...

Gorgeous day...

It's a beautiful day outside... so of course it's slow here in the Urgent Care. I wouldn't be caught dead in here if I was a kid either =P Plus if a kid is sick today, they wont be getting off of scho...

Happy

This is strange... Yesterday I was in kind of a foul mood, for most of the day. I thought maybe it was because I didn't sleep much/well. Last night, I slept even less... But I feel kind of "perky"...

Revenge...

Apparently, this is a description of me. I guess it's fairly accurate. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Your revenge is motivated by grudge....
