Getting into trouble, which I'm good at :)

MySpace Avatars

I'd like to meet:

Joan C. Edwards & Cocoa (haha), the guy who designed our curriculum so I can punch him in the face, anyone who doesn't hate doctors, Jesus and Ann CoulterAnd the guys who made this! I wanna know when these medical students had time to do this.....

Music:

Check out Dave Barnes, he rocks my socks. Some other people worth listening to are: Howie Day (old Howie Day, if you can find some old acoutic bootlegs), Jason Mraz (his fairly new CD Mr. A to Z is awesome and highly underappreciated), Sufjan Stevens (how can you argue with an album called Illinoise? priceless), Matt Wertz, Tristan Prettyman, Ari Hest, Ben Lee (how dare Claire Danes break this poor man's heart?), Damien Rice, KT Tunstall (despite the fact everyone and their mother is listening to her and Starbucks wont stop playing her music), Dar Williams, the Guillemots, Teitur (the BEST), Seth Lakeman, Keane, Josh Kelley...I feel like an acoustic rock commercial. I can't forget Bjork! Bjork forever! Some classics everyone should partake in: Pink Floyd (a must), Elvis Costello, Chet Baker (jazz done right), Jeff Buckley (another must, an amazing dude who died too soon)

Television:

I don't really watch TV...I'm a little busy doing other things like, oh, learning how to avoid killing patients.

Books:

Med school textbooks, thats all I'm allowed to read now

Heroes:

Jesus, my parents

My Blog

I hate valentines day

I think the title speaks for itself... What am I doing right now? Eating chocolate and watching bad television. How cliche.

People are craaaaazy

You know you're *special* when the people you hang out with everyday are either A. a crackhead, literally, B. hearing voices that tell them they are the Antichrist, C. wearing a t-shirt wrapped around...

Life as I know it....

Just so everyone knows (in case you get sad if you can't get a hold of me), life as I know it ends this Monday. I start my first rotation which means no more weekends, holidays, vacations or general f...

No sleep til Brooklyn

I've resigned to the fact that sleep is a luxury for the lazy and dead.

On a line...

When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given something sol...

Ann Coulter is pretty cool

I'm not a big fan of the blog, for some reason a part of me is a little wary of them. However, school has been really slow lately and I've been having trouble keeping myself occupied since I am used t...
