| Seeking Advice |
[Mar. 11th, 2008|09:33 am] |
I have a couple things coming up that cause me to ask for advice.
The first is that I have to fly to Atlanta to take a stupid med school test on March 25. The test doesn't end until 11 pm, so I couldn't get a flight back until the next morning. I'm asking for advice for something cool to do in Atlanta while I'm there, otherwise I'm just going to spend the night in the airport. Also, if anyone has spent a similar night in an airport and has any advice, I'd appreciate that.
The next thing is that I'll be in Japan for the month of April, doing an away elective there. I'm very pumped for it, but it's my last month of medical school. I have May and June off, so I'm trying to think of something I can do to make some money. Preferably, I would like a small job with under-the-table pay(I hope the government doesn't read that). If nothing else comes along, I may move home for a bit and work for my Dad again, but that's a pretty serious workload.
So, I ask of you your precious advice.
Also, last night I dreamed like crazy. It was nonestop. I fought a demon and the evil old mortal granny who commanded it. I shot big energy balls of "righteous power" to quote myself from the dream. I only had enough of the power after the demon drained the lifeforce out of Chip's dog. Then I had the power to vanquish him.
The next dream, I was an RA at MSU again. Only there were ghosts moving things around in the dorm hallway, and they followed my command. It looked like I had telekinesis, because I would motion my hand and things would move. But I knew it was the ghosts. Also, everytime I came in the dorm I got lost and couldn't find my way around. One time I was following a couple black guys who were tossing around a basketball and one threw me a blind pass which I totally missed, but they were cool about it. I think they lived on my floor.
It was so much intensely strange dreaming, I was in a stupor when I got up. |

As always, I'll start by apologizing that I haven't posted anything or even signed on in so long.
If you recall the last time we spoke, I started dating a super hunky Canadian. Yesterday, we got married. I know it's all very sudden. Here's what happened. Things were going really great with us. We started talking about what I'm going to do when my lease is up in May. My roommates are moving out, so we talked about me moving to Canada with him. He talked to his buddy at customs and found out the whole thing would be easier if we were married, then I could apply for permanent residency. So then we talked about getting married. We both realized it was going to happen eventually, so why not go ahead with it.
Yesterday we had a small ceremony at his house with mostly family and we're having a big reception, party etc. in July. Both my parents and his were there yesterday and everyone was very supportive. We both made it through without crying, and in true homo fashion, right after we were pronounced married the stereo was cued up to play "You're my Best Friend" by Queen. Then we took a million pictures(I'll put some on Flickr soon) and ate lots of food that his awesome best friends made for us.
It's all still a little strange, because life goes on as usual except that every once in a while I think, "Holy crap, I'm married". We were going to keep the little one secret and just tell people about the big one, but it got out already, so oh well.
Oh, and he's thinking he'll take my last name. |

| My First Art Show |
[Nov. 29th, 2007|01:14 pm] |
This Saturday, December 1, Lift Footwear in Royal Oak, Michigan, is having their Winter Munny Show. A Munny is a vinyl figure made by the kidrobot toy company, more info at www.kidrobot.com. They make blank ones that can be purchased and customized. Then Lift has shows where they display peoples' custom Munnys and some are for sale. I'm excited to announce that my first custom Munny will be in this week's show.
If you get a chance, stop in and check it out. There are free drinks and snacks, and it runs 7-9pm. My Munny is the one entitled, "Circuit Breaker" and my artist name is "The Hawk" (It's not cool enough to use your real name when making custom toys)

They were so incredibly awesome. My life is forever changed. |

| Feline Lesson Learned |
[Oct. 24th, 2007|10:41 pm] |
My roommate's girlfriend recently purchased a kitten. Which means, my house now has a litter box and food dishes. She and the kitten have both been living at our place for the last month, mostly because it's easier for her to go to work in the morning from our place and why not sleep with your boyfriend? It has really made me appreciate the extent of my cat allergy.
In all honesty, my body has gotten used to the cat and I hardly sneeze anymore, and I actually enjoy the kitten being around. She's very curious and mischevious and loves to find new hiding places. The other night, I was doing laundry. I transferred my wet clothes from the washer to the dryer and checked the lint trap. Well, the last user hadn't cleaned it so I removed it and took it to the garbage can. Only my roomies were working on their Halloween costumes in the living room and had the can there. So I had to walk out there, clean it and take it back to the dryer. I then shut the door and turned it on.
While I did notice my clothes were clunking around a bit more than normal, I just attributed it to an imbalance and went on. After a couple minutes, my roommate's girlfriend heard the cat meow a couple times and said, " Where is the cat?"
In an instant, I put the puzzle pieces together, silently darted from my chair and ran to the dryer. I opened the door and extracted the confused, panting cat. The others figured out what had happened and came to help. The cat ended up being fine, just a little hot. She was only in there a couple of minutes. I hope she learned her lesson about the dryer, and I hope I'm not allergic to my T shirts. |

I'm sure many of you have caught wind of the contraversy surrounding and advertisement for the Folsom Street Fair in California. The picture is a recreation of the famous painting of the last supper, only it's leather-clad kinky pigs instead of JC and crew.
The other night the local news had a story that really got my goat. They talked to a "party store" owner. For those who aren't from Michigan, a party store is a liquor store. You can't actually buy a party there, or party favors for that matter. This owner was so angry at the ad that he pulled Miller beer off his shelves. Miller sponsers the event and their logo appears on the ad. He said he wasn't taking a stand against gays in any way, but felt he had to stand up for his religion. As part of the news segment, they did a camera pan around his party store. As he was talking about doing what's right, the camera showed a store full of liquor, beer, cigarettes, wine, lottery tickets, and of course pornography. He said he thinks he'll lose some money, but he's willing to do it for his cause. I was so angry that I needed death metal to put me to sleep that night.
On another note, I want a copy of the ad so bad. If anyone knows where I can get one, I'll love you forever. |

| The good, the bad and the time it took to come up with this title |

Today I got absorbed in thinking about the good things and bad things in life. You see, I was on the treadmill at the gym. The usual studs were wandering about sweating and being all hot and stuff. I thought to myself, it sucks that there are so many hot guys who are straight. That's a huge tease for me. Then I forced myself to think of a good thing. It's good that there more more hot gay guys than I'll ever need. That made me think of a bad thing. They will never be able to make a Wolverine action figure without making the claws out of lame pliable plastic that droops in one direction or the other due to the fear of stupid kids hurting themselves. I guess I should consider it a good thing that they make action figures oriented to the desires of full grown dorks like myself. |

| All Nighter |
[Sep. 16th, 2007|02:02 pm] |
2pm Sunday
Tomorrow I change shifts and have to work from 11pm to 7am. Therefore, I need to sleep all day tomorrow to be ready to work. What better way to sleep all day tomorrow than to stay up all night tonight? So I'm staying up all night. I have to work 3pm-11pm, then I'm up the rest of the night. I'll come back and edit this post a couple times throughout the night to let you know what I did to keep myself busy. If you have any ideas on things to keep me busy all night, I'm all ears. Bear in mind that caffeine gives me migraines, so that's out.
11:40pm Sunday
I just got home from work. I put styling putty in my hair today, so I'm going to wash it out. I normally wouldn't shower at the beginning of an all nighter, but I keep running my fingers through styling putty and I don't like it. After that, Curtis and I are going to play Halo online for a while.
2:45am Monday
Curtis and I played some video games and he went to bed. I am now all on my own. The only response I've gotten in regards to things to do is my younger cousin inviting me to join facebook. I have now put on my MooseHat and I plan to clip my toenails. Joan Osbourne "Let's Just Get Naked" came on my iPod on shuffle and it was perfect. THE MOOSE IS LOOSE. When I get tired I get loopy, like Paula Abdul.
6:15am Monday
Not much more to go. I can hit the hay at 7, and I'm pretty excited for that. Since the last post, I clipped my toenails on the front porch, played more Halo, and washed the dishes. I also had a self portrait photo shoot with the lamp, minus the lamp shade for lighting effect. As my all nighter draws to an end, I'd like to thank my iPod, video games, and of course MooseHat for helping me along the way. At 7am I will go to bed until 2pm. I have a feeling that I'm going to dream about over sleeping and missing work. I'm just a nervous person that way.
What have I learned by staying up all night? If you have the opportunity to make something a bit more sexy, by all means, do it. Unbutton one more button on your shirt. Roll your T Shirt sleeves up a bit. Put a metal chain necklace on with that wifebeater. Get a little sexier, the world will treat you better.
Keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep,
Stever the Beaver
Goodnight, woofy |

After many months of silence, I'm posting a new update.
I'm in my fourth year of medical school, which means I have the most free time I've had in 3 years. I just submitted my application for residency, which was a pain, and rather expensive, but it's nice to have it done. I'm applying to Dermatology, because it's the best specialty in medicine and will definately fit my lifestyle. I don't have a whole lot of choice as to where I end up for residency, depends where I can get in. So we'll see what happens there. I'll find out in March.
In other news, I will be doing a month in Seattle mid Feb through mid March and one in Japan in April. I'm really excited for those. Right now I'm working at the ER in Detroit Receiving. It's pretty interesting. I had been out in the suburb hospitals a bit too long and I forget some things. For example, I forgot that weed isn't a drug. So when I ask a patient if he does any drugs and he says no, then later he tells me he was smoking a joint last night, that is my bad for not asking about weed. |

I had a really good time in Cleveland this weekend. I met some really nice, really hot guys. My only complaint for the weekend is that I seemed to be hanging out with couples the whole time.
It really made me miss travelling with my ex. Since the weekend, I haven't been able to shake this feeling. I want to talk to him again, but I know that's not a good idea. I just really wish I had someone right now.
But enough with the whining, I had a really fun weekend. And I'm a winner, I'll meet Mr. Right someday. |
