This blog is finished!!!!!!!!!
I tried my best to keep up. Really I did. But life has gotten both too interesting and too boring for this blog to have any more value for me. I don't know if anyone read it but I know i'll enjoy going back and looking at little clips of my life in New York over and over again.
Thanks to this site for letting me spill my guts and try to be creative and funny in my own wierd way. Props to anyone reading this.
Later, skaters...

The best videos of random Japanese girls dancing to intensly choreographed songs that i've seen all year
I admire these girls for their stamina! Not their cute knee high socks and fetish eye patch/dust mask combos!
But seriously, the amount of memorization and leg muscles needed for this are awe-inspiring.
Alright fine! It's just super fuckin' cute! I admit it...

Excuses are like assholes
3 REASONS WHY I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN A MONTH:
1. I got food poisoning from a halal gyro cart on king's highway at 3:00 in the morning. I got a lamb & chicken gyro. What a bad idea eating at one of those fuckin' carts at that hour! That meaty concoction had probably been sitting there for 9 hours.
I was doubled over in pain for a good two days afterwards. The bathroom was my home. I felt like I was dying. Alanna had some of the tainted gyro too. She was sick but not as bad as me.
2. I caught her cough right after that. I've been coughing up all night for about a week and medicine and teas aren't working. I think this might just be my life from now on. Coughing like a braying donkey any time I talk for more than a sentence at a time or try to laugh.
3. My mom and brother came to town for a week. I spent alot of time sitting on the couch being tortured by my mom's spanish judge judy shows. But I did get some good dinner out of it and lots of leftovers. I might be killing my diet but fuck it, I have to take advantage of free food when I get a chance!
On top of that, Ben sent me a box of homemade dainty little cookies to make up for being a dickhead to me at Bay's birthday party and Alanna made me a HUGE box of cupcakes with the frosting in a seperate container so i've been stuffing myself with sweets for weeks now.
OTHER THINGS:
I've been killin' it at wordscraper. Come challenge me if you dare.
I finished a truly shitty rotation at Methodist hospital. My third time there and hopefully my last. They just really don't appreciate us as students and don't trust us enough to give us a chance to do our own thing. I'm back at SUNY Downstate now which is great as far as the people I work with but sadly they never let us out earlier than four. After a year and a half of this shit i'm ready to just fuck around and take half days. I don't even know what's going on in class half the time. All our classes just melt into one and I find myself taking maybe half an hour to study on the day of tests and still passing. Talk about senior-itis!
A gang of my non-school friends (what an oxymoron) and I went snow tubing in the park again the night of New york's first snow day in 5 years. It was great fun! And hopefully the last snow i'll be seeing for the rest of the year.
I also attended two seperate taco night parties thrown by Greg and Jaygee. I like this taco trend! Delicious and interactive!
(I realized a moment too late that the word "tacos" doesn't have an apostrophe. Also, not me in the picture. But like Brent, I ALSO heart taco's)
Other than that, it's just been the usual. well, not exactly THE USUAL, but if you want to know more just give me a call. My blog hand is tired. Here, have some redgrass... shit is awesome...

Fuckin' bananannana's
The diet is going great! I think....
I haven't weighed myself since superbowl weekend. But after about 2 weeks of a consistent regiment of :
(I have yet to find this amazing flavor)
Breakfast - 1 Nutrament shake
Lunch - fruit, and/or a six inch tuna on wheat subway sandwich
Dinner - More fuckin' apples and bananas or just sleep
I imagine that I MUST have lost some weight by now! I haven't even been indulging that much on the weekend.
This week has been freakin' exhausting though. Eating well has certainly not made me feel healthier or regulated my sleep cycle. The weather is improving drastically though and I plan to stab my S.A.D. in the face with a rusty spork soon.
And hey! It's valentines weekend coming up! Fuckin' hell! Romance is in the air for some folks, right? It's a time to celebrate. Right? Maybe i'll use my weekend binge privilages to get something deep fried at a nice all you can drink brunch somewhere..

S.A.D.?
Okay, I think I have to admit it...I might have seasonal affective disorder. It's not like i'm Captain happy the other 3 seasons of the year, but I find my gloom and doom mentality to be especially pronounced this winter. Wiki explains it as...
" a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter or, less frequently, in the summer,[1] repeatedly, year after year. The US National Library of Medicine notes that "some people experience a serious mood change when the seasons change. They may sleep too much, have little energy, and crave sweets and starchy foods."
Sounds about right to me. I blame it on the cold dark snowy days. Days where I don't get one second of natural light and the fact that my house is completely boxed in and gets barely any light even on nice days.
I can't stand when it gets dark at 5pm! Stupid farmers with their daylight savings time! What the hell is that all about anyway?!? Hmm...i'll Wiki it, why not?
Oh forget it...too many words...
Anyways, another downside to this depressive state is the "sweet and starchy foods" as described above. I think i've put on about ten pounds of winter weight and my means of getting rid of it are quite limited. I decided a long time ago that a gym was impractical and never going to happen. So i've taken to doing about 30-60 sit-ups a day. That wasn't doing much so I figured a diet of my own creation was in order.
So yesterday I actually braved the outdoors for a purpose other than getting drunk or going to school. I went to the local 24 hour produce market which is actually pretty clean and well laid out. I decided to steal the banana aspect of the "japanese banana diet" and just buy a shitload of bananas. I figure I could survive eating those 24/7.
But then I remembered that they make my tongue tingle and that the texture gets kinda' gross after awhile. So luckily, along with my 16 bananas, I also purchased 10 apples, a bushel of grapes and 24 eggs (for when I need something hot and cooked)
Let's see if this works out. I still plan on eating and drinking whatever I want when I go out on the weekends. But c'mon I can't be expected to be perfect. And if I don't enjoy my weekends to the fullest then the terrorists have TRULY won. For some reason I had a craving last night for a tin of sardines in tomato sauce at Bay's house for dinner. I was dipping Utz bbq chips in it. Gross... I almost yacked. Could hardly finish my Pabst!
We also watched "True stories" with his neighbors. That old David Byrne movie from the 80's that no one has ever seen. It's a pretty bizarre look at a fictitious small town in Texas. It raises some interesting points about consumerism and the human condition. I would reccomend it. And David Byrne is amazing!

Weekender in the Jers
Went to New Jersey this weekend. Saturday day to Sunday night. Why do I love it so much?? I really don't know. Living vicariously through my wealthy and happily married friend Kuau? The greasy spoon diner food? Getting fucked up with his wife, watching cheesy MTV shows and playing Rock Band all night?
All of the above I guess. It's like going to some fancy bed and breakfast in the country that one of your best friends owns.

Like a polar bear's toenail
Okay, wow...where to begin...
I hate when real life and responsibilities pull me away from the computer. It's SO hard to start blogging again! :)
But yeah, seriously. I guess i'll try and get through this update as painlessly as possible. Long story short, this past month has been a whirlwind, no fuck that, a CYCLONE of amazingness and not-so amazingness.
I had close to the best 2 weeks of my life over christmas break when I went home to see my friends. Me, my best friend and his girlfriend from Boston all flew out to the bay area and house sat for a couple we found on Craigslist. It was amazingly convenient. I had an insane first night back party where dozens of old friends crept out of the woodwork to see us. I went to lake Tahoe over Christmas day where I frolicked in the snow and got hammered in the cabin with 2 of my oldest friends and their family.
I performed at a concert in San Francisco where I reunited with some of my esteemed hip-hop associates to blow everyone's mind with my scratchtastic skills :) We played at a pretty big respectable venue and made a pretty good deal of money. Afterwards we got burritos in the mission and drank E&J in a hotel room like real rap stars.
I also DJ'd a warehouse party in Emeryville on new year's eve. It wasn't the biggest turnout but it was nice to play a few records just for my friends and ring in the new with people I care about. And yes, it's always extra nice to get a midnight kiss from someone ;)
And now here I am. Torn from happiness and 75 degree weather into a frozen tundra and the soul crushing return to xray school.
I have finals next week and then I begin my last semester. We've been taking review quizzes for the national registry test that we have to take to get our licenses and i've been doing really, really...poorly... it's a little distressing. But i'm confident that i'll pull my shit together as usual and escape new york in one piece.
And that's that. I plan to document some of the silliness that's been taking place since my return here in depth but that will have to wait. I need to go re-up on fluoroscopy units and dose absorption tissue weighting factors. (shoot me)
