a lovely new day

well. today, as usual, is the first day of the rest of my life. despite the cold, it is sunny and winter-like outside and it makes me feel ok.

i have a tendency to bypass my internal censor at times and just say whatever the hell pops into my head. today as i sat spewing out my verbal diarrhea to a bunch of most-likely disinterested listeners, someone mentioned that i should start a blog. i am several years behind everyone else by starting one, but it's not the first time i have been behind the times. i joined myspace about a year too late. i used to routinely make fun of people with nalgene water bottles and ipods and now, of course, i own both. (side note on nalgenes: i just have to put it down officially in my blog that i hate myself for having one of these things. it is such a social class status symbol. when was the last time you saw a construction worker with a nalgene? i should burn or melt mine or something.) so, alas, now i have a blog.

how long will this blogging phase last you ask? good question. most likely you will be reading this post several months past the current date and there will probably be no further posting. maybe there will be one or two more but that would be a real shocker. if i keep it up, then that's great. i wonder if i really want to share personal details of my life in a googleable medium. i doubt anyone will know who i am or really care so whatever.

so today i finished my last exam for the first semester of my second year of medical school. it was a shit show. my apartment is a wreck. i have no groceries. i haven't exercised in almost two weeks. i slept for two hours last night. i have to go to the frigging dentist tomorrow.

speaking of the dentist. this means that i have to brush my teeth really well tonight and tomorrow morning. i will most likely floss both times and my gums will bleed. i will then rinse with the green flavored target brand listerine shit and nearly puke into the sink. when i get to the dentist, they will most likely yell at me for not having taken care of my teeth. i will, once again, promise that i will change my ways. they will, once again, advise me to have my wisdom teeth removed. i will receive a referral card for two oral surgeons in the area that i will put somewhere in my apartment and forget about. my wisdom teeth really need to come out but i am so afraid. they have been telling me to get them out for like ten years. bah.

now i have to think about what to do for christmas gifts. my mom always tries to make it a "no gifts" year but still manages to pile inordinate amounts of crap under the tree. i am planning to rerecord a bunch of the songs i have written over the last five years and put them on a new cd. i wonder if i will have time time or energy to do this. it would be really fun.

i don't think i have anything else to say. i plan to use this blog (if i use it at all) as a container for my varied stupid ideas and comedic bits that only i find funny. things to come back to at a later date:

1. the friendly's happy ending sundae (with meal)
2. feliz navidad
3. student ids at medical school

that's all i can think of for now.
