| Surgery, Surfing, Showering; RepeatThat pretty much sums up my life in 4 words or less or your money back.
Life though, I have to say couldn't be a heck of a lot better. Juxtaposed to the days of yore in NYC, I am way happier out here. I really love the sun, and the sand, and all that. LA has been such a better place for me in so many ways. I feel healthier, happy and more productive... As the radiohead song goes. There is a new chick on the scene, but everyone pretty much knows about her, so I will not be verbose in that matter. Sufficeth me to say, Crystal is a really cool, girl and we have a lot of fun spending time together. Sucks she has to leave, but oh well. Life goes on. I am curious to see how everything unfolds.
Work is going really well. I feel like I am getting a lot better at surgery, and that I am having a really good time doing it. I am working on learning to use arthroscopy right now, so I bring in Cantalopes and use a scope to pluck seeds out, and it is really fun. The techs all laugh at me, but I think at the same time they think it's cool. Most of the Docs are letting me do more and more. It feels really rewarding. I feel like I am getting better dexterity and better skill as time goes by, and I am still in my first month, so that is cool. I feel well liked as well, so that is nice. I am still trying to work really hard to prove myself, and I hope I can keep it up. I really feel like this program will help me become a good surgeon, and that is exciting. That is what I really wanted out a my program. I feel very blessed in that sense.
I have been really enjoying all the recreation that LA has to offer, and I feel like I am just scratching the surface. It's been really cool. I have probably gone surfing 25 times since I got here... so you can imagine, I have gotten a lot better. It's a great pastime. I wish that I had more of my old skool friends here to enjoy it with me. I am making a lot of new friends though, so that is cool too. There are plenty of people to mob around with. So that's nice.
Anyway, I feel like I am saying cool too much and not really saying anything particularly interesting so I am gonna bounce.
Peace out cub scout. | | |
| And now to update the thing that nobody reads....
I haven't looked at my xanga in like 1 year, and I would suspect that no one else has either. It was really fun to actually read peoples blogs rather than just look at pictures that they post of themselves to whore themselves out to the world.
I am almost officially done with school. It is really crazy. I can't believe that it is over... It has seriously been so long in the making. I have changed so much, but at the same time almost nothing seems different. I can remember BYU as if I just left. I almost have no recollection of the last 4 years bc so much has happened, and I have been trying so hard to stay busy so that time would pass quickly... And now that it has, I am admittedly very relieved. I passed my boards, I passed my classes, I got my residency... Everything has worked out so great for me... I couldn't be more happy.
I am getting ready to go on a series of vacations... It is definitly going to be a strain on the pocket book. Oh well I guess, why stop now, right?
Other than that, how do you sum up a year and a half of no writing.... You can't.
4/20 baby

| I'm am now a myspace whore for anyone that cares... I haven't updated in over a month.. but at least I posted a sweet new pic.
Schools good. I'm in a new rotation...
I'm working on the christmas DVD, and a new song. Pro tools and final cut pro are rocking my world.
So much to learn...
Svenska is getting married in 2 weeks...that is kinda weird.
I made the sweetest desk of my life... I am so industrious. Thank you eagle scout project.
Skateboarding is sweet John Mortensen, who is staying with us temporarily is teaching me tons of stuff. It has been really cool
I am too lazy to write more... this then must suffice.

| Well, I don't really feal like posting, but I am going to anyway. So that everyone can feel good about themselves, and I can continue to yell at people for not updating as frequently as I do.
So to recap....
Utah. It was an interesting experience. It didn't really go like I thought it would. Megan and I both felt kinda weird. I am not sure if it is a chemistry thing or what. We had fun and stuff, but something was missing. We both felt it. We are now currently reverted back to friend status. I feel really good about it. I am sad in a way, but it feels like the right thing to do. Only time can tell what will happen in the future. Megan is a rad girl, and I am really lucky that I got to know her. It is and was a blessing in my life.
After utah, I had school for a couple of days. Nothing too serious. Then I was off to Chicago. I think that our first night in Chicago was the funnest over all. We went to chucky cheese, and we won this stuffed animal, the aptly named "upchuck" And we carried him around with us everywhere we went. It really defined the trip. It was funny. The pictures are seriously histerical.
Here is a link.

I would copy and paste, but I can't because I am over my monthly limit.
Xanga whores...
So since I have been back... life has been good. I feel like I have alot of free time. I am mostly working on skateboarding and not music. I have been doing a lot of research lately on computers and whatnot. I have decided on the imac g5 17inch. 160 gig hard drive. 1.5 gig Ram. 1.9ghtz processor. Tons of software... I am really stoked. I am buying it on a new Jet Blue american express card I just ordered. I am going to buy it on the Jet blue credit card, to get all the extra points and then I am going to transfer my balance onto something else 0% Apr for a year and no transfer fees. It is freaking brilliant. So basically I get one third of a flight. 33points or something like that. It is awesome. And for free. Plus I need to have a couple more credit cards to build my credit. So basically my idea is to wait til I get my next loan check next semester and pay off the compsore. It is a pretty sweet idea really.
In the way of skateboarding, I can allie a curb now. so that is cool. I have been trying to practice a lot. It is a ton of fun. I think I am going to start going to a skate park soon too, to improve even more. I wish though that I had someone to skate with. That would be ideal. Oh well. I can learn on my own.
Ok that is good enough for today. I am sick of writing, officially. | | |
| Hey everybody, I'm back! And I like tacos!
Zane wants me to make decembers picture to be a scandalous one. With me naked, with nothing but a santa hat on my "crotchal area".
I need grape kool-aid so bad right now and zane won't even go get it for me. Greekin' A. He needs to blitzkreig his ace to the store, before I break down.
What is new? Ahh you ask all the right questions. Well for the past week and a half I have been in the OR. It has been super fun. I have learned a ton about what goes on in there. I am learning a lot about anesthesiology, and about the names of tools, and OR protocol. It is really cool to see all the logistics of Everything. I am having an awesome time in surgery, even though others said that I wouldn't like it. Just yesterday I saw a club foot surgery, as well as a foot with 3 pathologies. It was really cool to see everything. I think it will be awesome to be able to do stuff like Club Foot surgery in foreign countries when I am old and rich. Good times.
Well spencer just left, as everyone knows. Well everyone should know, you all got the video of him and I skating around times square. I am not sure if the humor of the situation was really translated into video, but it was really funny and embarrassing for us to do, but in the end, very rewarding. It was good to have spence here because we really hadn't got to talk that much in the last month, so it was good to hear about his woman, and how excited he is to get hitched, and to do the dirty deed. We didn't end up doing that much new yorky type stuff, but I still felt like we had a lot of fun. I laughed my butt off while he was here. It was cool to be able to have so much fun for a week. I have been in a really good mood for the past couple weeks because of it. I think it is coming out in my work too. I am getting a lot of compliments on my bedside manner. When you are having a good time in your personal life it is easier to be nice to people, and put good energy out there.
Tomorrow I go to Utah... I am excited too. I kind of get this numb feeling before I go... but that happens everytime I go, and I always end up loving it, and having a great time. I just think that it is my bodies reaction to all the information and emotional overload that accompanies visits like this... everything just kinda cancels everything else out. I do feel really excited to see Megan though. We are going to have a ton of fun, and I am excited to see what her suprises are. She is being all mysterious lately, so I am sure that there will be a sweet payoff.
Speaking of sweet payoffs, Zane just came back with some grapeade. I am stoked, indeed my heart is rejoicing.
Ok well here are some pics for the kiddies. Enjoy. Actually, xanga has just informed me that I already reached my limit for the month of picture uploads, so next month I guess. You stay saucy san dimas. | | |
