Parkour

So my latest obsession is with this style of street 'jumping' called Parkour. I remember it was featured on a Nike commercial some time ago and that it was of french origin. I have been looking up tons of clips and recently came across a movie on a blog. The movie is called Banlieue 13 (District 13). Anyway, I think that this parkour stuff is amazing and just wanted to share it.

Simpsons

I just came across this earlier today and had to share with those who hadn't seen it yet.

Two Weeks

I am not a hardcore blogger but I have gotten very used to writing poorly on the events that take place in my life. I don't really know what I've been doing that has kept me so busy. I don't think that I have really been doing anything. I think that I am just very scared and unsure of what will happen in my life the next couple of months. I am still waiting for a sign from above to tell me what to do, still nothing. I guess I will keep waiting and praying. I do believe that everything happens for a reason and as long as I continue to believe that, everything will be okay. My fridge is bare again, more so than last time! Seven weeks of school left! Cabo awaits!

Virus v. Bacteria

I have been a little sick as of late. I was fine until thursday morning. I went to Patachou for breakfast/brunch and immediately after started feeling nauseous. I have heard that a few people in my class had a stomach virus, but I don't feel that it is viral because I fought it off in a couple of days. I suppose is could be bacterial, but I think I might have overexerted myself this week. I worked out a lot this week, played ball monday and wednesday, volleyball on thursday, and really didn't eat a lot. I didn't sleep much and I think my body is just a little upset at me, nothing a Big Ten from Pizza Express won't clear up. Only a half week in clinic this next week and then I will head home for a few days to hang with the fam. BG left for Mexico this morning, JC is studying for Step 2, so I will probably head to JB's and play Halo on Xbox live.

Great Clip!

Never mind that I feel that high school football is microcosm of everything that is wrong with America. Never mind that parents love to force their children to play sports and live vicariously through them. Never mind that golf, soccer, and tennis will always be sports that the rich and bratty will excel in. This is what makes sports great. It warms my heart everytime I watch it. Note the jubilation of his teammates and the fans.

Critical Deficiency

Well, I have finally regrouped after this weekend. I took my licensing exam this weekend and I did not pass one part of it. I was really upset on Saturday during the day, but after some words of encouragement from my family, friends, and almost everyone in my class, I feel a lot better. I know everyone in my class but am only close to a handful of them. After hearing what happenned to me on Saturday, the support and concern that has been expressed by almost everyone I have talked to has been surreal. Without going into details that non denties (as my med school friends like to call us) wouldn't understand, I got screwed over by a classmate. After I got screwed, I couldn't pull it together and perform at the level necessary to pass. The examiners decided that I had a critical deficiency in one of my cavity preparations (greater than 2mm from ideal) and I failed that one portion of my exam and will have to retake it in either late April or mid-May. No big deal, I hadn't planned on practicing until July anyway. I am very disappointed because not only did this person screw me over, but the way they decided to tell me was extremely unprofessional, tactless, and lacked the class I would expect from a fellow student. Anyway, like Oz said, "you can't control the situation, but you can control the way to react to it". So I am moving on and making the most of the cards I have been dealt. In all honesty I have had a relatively easy last couple of years. I haven't really encountered any obstacles or tough times. I suppose this is just another test that I have to prepare for and work harder to overcome.

The Early Man

I don't have cable, a home phone, and I steal wireless from someone in my building. So with my rabbit ears I only get about 6 channels, one being mtv2. I am obsessed with this channel. It has tons of videos and the shows on here are hilarious. The two shows that I watch the most are Team Sanchez and Wildboyz. The fact that I love the sophmoric humor in these shows just proves that I am the most adolescent of my brothers and probably always will be. Another site that I happened upon by watching a commercial on mtv2 was gamekillers. This site had me and oz laughing for quite a while. I am currently or have struggled against all of these characters. I'm hesitant to comment on which one or combination of these gamekillers I am.
