Day 2 Final: The end of the day was met with peril. Involving the near destruction of our occular memory device at the caprious hands of fate. Luckily, I was there, to save the day - and prevent what surely would have been the biggest ass-whooping of my life! With the photo-shooter in hand, we retired, once again, to our humble inn to rest our ( Read more... )

Day 1: Spirits are high as we ride into the blinding sun. Ohio is quiet. Zombies suspected. Jess annoyed with rest stop service. Suspected that she will flip over a cashier in anger ( Read more... )

Yesterday started off good enough. I went over to my parentals' house in the morning to take my mother out to breakfast (she got her card and present the day prior). She is super excited about her Kit Cat Clock! She shows it off to everyone. Anyways, on the way to Cracker Barrel, Mom drops the bomb on me: her sister is dead, and we have to decide ( Read more... )

I am currently watching Alabama destroy the Lady Volunteers in softball. Destroy! It is currently 7 to 0, bottom of the fourth. I love softball season! It really makes me feel alive and involved... I miss the infield. If there were two things that I hated most about slow-pitch softball it would be that it is slow-pitch and that I am currently stuck ( Read more... )

Let's say that you have an 85 year old woman present with 1.5 cm spiculated mass in her lung, and reactive lymph nodes surrounding. Woman has a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and history of colon cancer (20-25 years ago). Would you biopsy? Lung cancer is aggressive, and it is ugly. There were ( Read more... )

At the start here, there will be the mighty beginnings of the famed bucket list (as it is today). Please keep in mind that these are in no particular order...

Take part in a triathlon (preferably by age 30)
Kayak in the ( Read more... )

It seems that I have changed my family's outlook on being green! Sorry Kermit, it appears easier to be green nowadays... I am looking into taking several workshops through the Porter County Waste Reduction and Recycling Thingymabob. They are hosting these (and cheaply I might add) to help educate and also to jump start your knowledge thereof. For ( Read more... )

So, I had an honest to the gods nightmare last night. I am not really sure how I am supposed to handle it yet. Mostly I tried to sleep with my light on after that. Which didn't really work - so I was awake from 2:00 on. Anyways, it was very realistic, which is what bothers me most. I was driving down an old country road at night (of course), when I ( Read more... )

It seems that my katze really likes to irritate me... He has recently learned that it irks me when he jumps on the computer desk (even if there is no food there). He will only do this when I am snuggled up in bed just about to go to sleep. I usually notice because he has stepped on my keyboard and started some song on my iTunes. His favorite song ( Read more... )

We were all rocking out to the RockBand when we came to the song Ironic. I remember this being one of my favorite music videos (you know those things they used to play on VH1 and MTV). So, we decided to list some of our favorite music videos. In no particular order, here is a glimpse at mine ( Read more... )
