So, where are we?

After a 2 year blog hiatus, I am reopening this blog.

It's 2 o clock in the morning and I am sitting on a humongous red bean bag on a friend's basement, deciding to reopen an old mean of escape. An old friend. Oh, well, what the heck.

Things are different now, a little better, compared to how it was when I left off. I don't need to squander around looking for a gig. They called it moonlighting, I don't really need to give it a name. A 'gig' sounded fine since after everything, the jobs I had from the day I graduated from med school until 2008 are just gigs. A one night stand. Nothing changes after. It changed after 2008. I am tired of one night stands.

So where are we?

Life had been good. I get paid now on regular intervals and with a respectable amount. I get to travel now and then, which is much more often than what I am supposed to be. I tend to procrastinate a lot right now, compared to my first two years. Oh, those two years of catching up...reading stuff that I missed during my career hibernation. I already knew that medicine is a constant flow of information, but I didn't know it was a Niagara falls of knowledge. I haven't finished reading a single work of fiction for two years. I simply didn't have the time.

It's the 5th day of my seniorship. A huge year looms in front of me. As my academic load seems to lighten, a couple of personal projects are my focus this year. First, find him. Second, hablo muy bueno espanol and third, get real with photography. I am changing my body as well - getting rid of the flank fat and the double chin. I'll pray more often, as I am humbled by my recent tribulations. I need to quit my addictions and get tested for a lot of stuff.

Clean up and get better is this years motto.

Nice to be back. Ciao.
