A Prescription for Self-Motivation

Sunday, November 30th, 2003

My first semester of graduate school hasn’t really gone a long way in encouraging me to continue my education past a Master’s Degree to get a Ph D so I’m gonna take this opportunity to try and motivate myself, by listing all the good things I could do as a doctor … I could join [...]

Oh, and I realize this is a little late. But instead of holding up the customary four fingers to signify the beginning of the fourth quarter, I proposed this fitting tribute to one Mr. Philip Rivers … (I got tired of looking at that stupid picture everytime I came around to my site … neurotic, [...]

Rock N Roll In Reverse?

Friday, November 21st, 2003

Rock N RollRyan Adams I spent too much time reading instead of listening. I read everything that everyone else had to say about Ryan Adams’ new cd. It was important to me to see what other people thought about it, mostly because it wasn’t November 3rd and I couldn’t find out for myself. But when [...]

Shattered

Friday, November 21st, 2003

I’ve laughed at the jokes and jabs too. I’ve read the news stories and thought “how weird”. I’ve watched the changing face change beyond the point of recognition. But none of that can temper the uneasy feeling of watching the fall of the person you grew up idolizing. Yes, I find it comical to tell [...]

Sharing

Thursday, November 20th, 2003

I used to write, like, once or twice – sometimes even thrice – a day. Now you’re lucky if I write anything on consecutive days. Not that having a piece of 3rd Grade level reading from me necessarily makes you “lucky”, but I think you know what I mean. What is wrong with me? Why [...]

Make Checks Payable to … Mom?

Monday, November 17th, 2003

Does it seem wrong to anyone else that you should ever have to write a check to your mother, if not just for the simple fact that you might accidently make the check out to “Mom”?

A Sigh of … Something

Wednesday, November 12th, 2003

Well, that’s it. I just put the finishing touches on my last Wednesday morning assignment of the semester, which means no more extended Tuesday nights, pushing myself into the wee hours of the morning to get a homework done. By no means does it signal the end of pushing myself to the brink of self-inflicted [...]

If I Were Bush’s Speechwriter … by Andy Rooney Years ago, I was asked to write a speech for President Nixon. I didn’t do that, but I wish President Bush would ask me to write a speech for him now. Here’s what I’d write if he asked me to – which is unlikely: My fellow [...]

Snow From the Motherland

Thursday, November 6th, 2003

I know this is getting old, but I’m guessing this will be the last one … I have to show public appreciation to Laura A. who sent a completely unexpected, but totally awesome present all the way from the motherland (for those of you not up on U.S. History, that would be England). Laura, I [...]
