Let Down is the New Up

You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

About Me

Married to an amazing woman far too good to be with me. 4th year med student @ Baylor College of Medicine. I'll be starting my residency in Emergency Medicine @ Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas. Hopefully, one or two fellowships in Pediatric EM and Ultrasound will follow. I have hundreds of acquintances, but only a handful of friends, and to me, they're family. Straight-shooter and dislike: fake people, people who love the sound of their own voice, people who are full of themselves, and celebrities in general, especially those who try to sway the sheeple towards particular political affiliations. Live by the mottos: "we are what we do in this life," and "don't sweat the small shit." First impressions of me are: abrasive, crude, insensitive. I have been told I get MUCH better with time- oh well.Radiohead - Idioteque

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people who can think for themselves and understand for the most part we're merely pawns and are completely removed from ever impacting governmental decisions in a profound way.
