2010.
The glass window between me and my dreams looks best when its sparkling pieces lay shattered on the floor.
Take the wheel. Drive Drive Drive.
Speed limits? optional.

x'mas discovery
Today my mom convinced me to go to a christmas party; decent but slightly awkward. Anyways, during the party, a book sitting in the corner titled BODY&SOUL caught my eye; surprisingly, I recognized one of the doctors featured. I skimmed through the book which were mostly interviews with various medical practitioners who studied and practiced medical principles based on mind and body...

The true meaning of these holidays
beansy:
Soak up every minute you get to spend with your loved ones this time of year.
We always find ourselves caught up in every day life, we may get annoyed at small things, or family gatherings may bring anxiety for some… but at the end of the day anyone who has family (or friends you consider family) is incredibly lucky. I’ve heard those words since I was very young and I find that I’m...

today's notes
Weddings need to be short, sweet, and simple.
Pastors who give lame sermons need new day jobs.
There are a lot of cops out on the road.
Watching youtube videos before a wedding because I have no idea how to tie a tie.
WatchWhat a sick ass lecture about sound.

This pretty much sums up my childhood here in Sacramento.
Unbelievable.
Looks like winter break.
Smells like winter break.

found my "IN"
“andy…. Nice to hear from you after all this time. SInce I am teaching both Anatomy and Anatomy and Physiology…. I guess you have an “IN” Pick the class and section and I will let you in. Only catch is you have to get an ‘A’.”
And.. relief.
this bitch..
Who else got the “special message” from Mary Ann Fox? Bitch got nerves.
Tonight just keeps getting better.
how bad do you want it?
I’m not usually one to write about these sort of things but for the sake of my health I know better than to just keep holding it in.
Why is it so hard to do the right thing? I dunno about everybody else, but I’m on a timeline here. There are people with physical disabilities just waiting for me to help them, and everyday I continue to find obstacles blocking my pursuit.

psychotherapy:
What do you think a group of women would do if they were given a dose of testosterone before playing a game? Our folk wisdom tells us that they would probably become more aggressive, selfish or antisocial. Well, that’s true… but only if they think they’ve been given testosterone.
If they don’t know whether they’ve been given testosterone or placebo, the hormone actually has the...
Unmotivated people disgust me.
birds.
I walked out to my car and heard hella birds yapping, I look up to see a huge flock of birds migrating. (Since when did birds migrate thru stockton wtf?) Most people know that birds form V-shape formations when they fly, but damn this V was like several hundred birds deep! And that was only the first V, there was several waves of these birds that followed after the first set..
Too bad I...

societal decay
In ancient warfare, the single best way to choke a society to death was to eliminate or poison the water supply, its most fundamental resource for functional progress.
In modern warfare, if I were told to make an entire society rot from the ground up, I’d go after their academic institutions, choke its resources, and leave a generation of students squandering their youth away working dead...

GUILTY.

future backyard
Eventually, I’m going to buy a house on a 10+ acre plot of land so I could raise a pack of Alaskan Huskies. I’ll have a pool with a 15+ ft diving board and preferably a small lake to feed coy. I’m going to grow red woods, oaks, and dank greens like an OG living in the hundred-acre woods. There will be plenty of peace and quiet to enjoy grapefruit colored afternoons lying on a...
medical narratives
If you are considering a career in health or the medical field, I would strongly suggest you read some medical narratives. They’re essentially fiction/non-fiction accounts of a life you’re pursuing and you might get a better understanding of emotional requirements of a particular field that professionals don’t usually talk about.
Be advised, some of it gets real heavy.
evolution of adrenaline
Most people define adrenaline as the “fight or flight response,” but I think that’s a really pathetic definition and is terribly outdated.
Times have changed, we don’t live in the africa safari anymore, so this “fight or flight response” hormone in a sense lost its everyday survival use.
But its still very useful, recreationally.
Although common side...
50 questions to make you think.
ofpetrarch:wewillfloaton:suzywire:likeairplanesintomountains:
Because sometimes asking the right questions is the answer.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

That’s how many times phone calls I made this morning to reach a school counselor for an appointment.
These budget cuts are killing everybody.
