A Fake Empire
Something must being going right when depressing, yet expected, news fails to ruin a great day. The last eight months or so have beaten me into submission, allowing me to come out the other side surprisingly optimistic and longingly hopeful about my future. St. Luke’s decided after about five months of time that they in fact did not want to hire me as a Clinical Engineer in their VAD...

Today's Assignment: Watch T.V.
Good morning class…I’m here today to tell you about my discovery today: HBO’s new series How To Make It In America. Plain and simple, go check it out. It is like the prequel to Entourage without everything that made Entourage go wrong. Don’t ever tell me that I didn’t help you out.

… in a Martinelli’s Apple Cider jar, I figured you might want to know that. Wait…damn, I just found a little over a dollar in change. I’ll update the counts and get back to you, but I think you might be able to do the math.

Highlights from the Health Care Summit today in Washington (via Politico).
This is an issue fifty-five years in the making that must get done. I think it would be hard to claim that President Obama is not taking this issue on with the most non-political and bipartisan methods possible, just look how calm and deliberate he is with both the Right and Left. The problem, however, comes from both...

…t-shirts. If you’ve ever seen me in a t-shirt that looked like it was designed for a ten year old, chances are I got it here. They use American Apparel shirts and cost the same, or sometimes less than a blank shirt from the AA store…so why not? I have four in the mail so be prepared to see something childish yet slightly charming.

It looks like Children’s has broken down along with me and decided to move forward with bringing me on part time despite the unknown circumstances at St. Luke’s. It is nice to feel like someone actually wants me to work for them. The plan is to start paying me as soon as possible for the stuff I do at the hospital, which greatly helps the state of my bank account given the decreased...

So long blogspot or blogger or whatever I was using before, and hello new blog at tumblr. I’m a sucker for pretty things, and I have to say this place is pretty. After discovering another blog that uses tumblr I realized that this will suit my needs and desires of blogging much more sufficiently. Expect random pictures, quotes, thoughts, and much less actual blog posts, since I...
