Please Do Not Judge the Fish

i definitely just stared at the computer screen for the previous 35 seconds unsure of how to begin. ok, just did it again. let's start with photos.

i.e. Imagery
being that few of my visitors/friends own digital cameras, photos from smiling times may take a while to make it to this illustrious site. here's a few from e-ray/birfday era:

val being a gentleman. boys: take highly detailed notes.


we really have no respect for each other


split second betwixt barrels of laughter at the fact i was actually posing like this. oh! and this is stacey.


rudy's back there somewhere *shades light from eyes as stares into computer screen*


New Zealand is a Land of Magic
my friend from new zealand just left house this morning. it was damn fantastic to hang out with him. he's a to-be 5th year med student who was traveling in the states for his summer vacation. di, meisa and rupa - hope you don't mind but i passed your blog sites to him. he's really interested in the lives of med students in the states. meisa, he read your bit on the flying baby and didn't believe it. has anyone seen 'Big Fish'?

he (jun) is super smart, hilarious, laid-back - the 'traveler type' that i met when far away, the 'traveler type' that i realize i am as well. i've always defied genres *adjusts tie*, but am recognizing that 'baby' and 'traveler' are two that i cannot escape.

You Should Be a Writer
he told me this, to which i replied, "Thanks. Man." apparently I have a lot of stories - more than I realize. I probably should be writing down all of that crap. but he was probably discreetly telling me that i talk too damn much.

The Explanation
this is the really fun part of the blog entry. two (2) sir neuroknowitalls have diagnosed me with mild epilepsy. apparently there is some craaaaazie electrical activity in my brain that results in mild memory loss, nervousness and "Drop Attacks!". so i have epilepsy. aahhahah... it's really funny to me actually. now i have an excuse for being so goofy and clumsy all of the time.

and i feel like i am finally a real-life adult. every old person seems to have to take 18,000 pills in the morning everyday for the rest of their life, and now i get to do it too. from now on, the medication-count will only accrue. ah, the first stage of adulthood. i've finally pinned adulthood with a concrete definition. see! i told you i was secretly 48!

more tests this week. see a cardiologist on friday. more and more doctors are becoming my best friends (though only one will forever remain in meehart) *smiles a dumbass, all teeth grin for a prolonged period of time).

UPDATE: dad's coming here and going with me to the doctor on friday! yeeeeees.

hope all is well. love those kids around you. we are all very fortunate.
