PLEASE STAND BY: INSANE ITALIAN SHALL RETURN!

As you may have noticed, I have taken a leave of absence. I fully intend to return to rambling and posting nonsense in the very near future. I had to take a short break to go back to school and learn stuffs so I can change careers. That's right folks, I finally decided to pursue one of my lifelong passions. I have two actually. One is opening up a matador themed beach bar in Barcelona. The other I'm trying right now. I'll fill you in if I actually get through it and pass all the tests and graduate. Otherwise we'll pretend like it never happened and I'll go back to searching for Death in the Afternoon themed wallpaper and bull horn shaped mugs on the internets. 

Look for new posts and a new sexy attitude this October. God Bless you.

Lord of the Pings: The Return of the Ping

I think we can all agree the missing plane fiasco has gone on way too long. Obviously the searchers have been focusing their efforts in all the wrong places, and it's about time I set the record straight. If given the chance, I'm almost certain I could pinpoint the location of the airliner, but unfortunately nobody will give me the time of day. I've emailed the Malaysian Prime Minister, several Australian Admirals and even my cousin TJ from Houston who's dating a chick in the Coast Guard. None of them have responded.

The New Year's Resolution Audit

I just read a Yahoo Shine article written by a sixteen-year-old eighth grader from Kansas that said nearly 90% of people who make New Year's resolutions completely give up on them after about sixty days. Although the same author once wrote that regular consumption of bananas would give people cat-like night vision, I do agree with her here. I think sixty days is even pushing it. I gave up on my resolutions (to not lie to children or set anything that wasn't mine on fire) in less than 24 hours. Actually knocked them both out simultaneously. Anyway, let's check and see how others have managed with their own self-improvement goals. 

The Doctor Will See You Now

Dr. CC that is. I'm not a real doctor, nor do I play one on TV. I do however work at a medical school so I feel I've absorbed enough peripheral knowledge to make informed clinical decisions and such. Even better, I've done it all without being saddled with a quarter million dollar tuition debt. In fact, I'm being paid by them to eavesdrop on student study sessions, practical exams and even actual surgeries. Over the years I've stitched together all the bits and pieces I've accumulated, (words like mitochondria, subluxation and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia) and created what I do believe is a very well rounded set of medical credentials for myself. 

EVERYONE PLEASE CALM DOWN!

Posts will resume this week. My life has been hectic. And I was recently diagnosed with 'hiding under the blankets and eating sharp cheddar' syndrome. It's crippling. Sometimes I even take an oatmeal stout under there with me. I'm getting better though. Thank you for all your well-wishes. See you after the Super Bowl. I love you.
