This is really McCain's pick? Thanks for shooting yourself in the foot dude.
Does this mean I can still live my lifelong dream of being a sports illustrated swim suit model? I mean if this woman, Sarah Palin, can be McCain's pick for VP after a couple years of political experience, shit, I could probably throw on a g-string and be on the cover of SI in no time.
Hockey mom in the Whitehouse. Fucking great.
And please don't give me any crap about how her story is merely symbolic of the "The American Dream" and how she is living it and is all for it. I have heard that jargon so many times in the last week (including the Dem convention) that it makes me nauseous just to hear the phrase. To me it screams over-consumption, oppression, ignorance, blindness, and idiocy. The American Dream has been narrowed down to being able to have 5 kids and still afford to feed them denny's and provide them with ample Flatscreen TV time. This country is heading in the wrong direction and everyone just wants to have the things that the people at the top, the ones leading us in the wrong direction, have tucked in their 10,000 sq ft homes. It is a sad state. And if you do support "the dream", it will surely not be coming to your home town with Republicans like Palin, capitalist extraordinaire, sitting in the White House. Keep the rich, rich and the poor, poor.
This woman stands against woman's rights, is pro-gun, anti-gay, pro-drilling, and is rumored to be sympathetic to the creationist movements within school systems. Sounds like an idiot to me.
Ohhh? This is a medblog? Sorry. Lets quickly nab a healthcare clip from M.D.O.D.'s positive review of this wonderful VP candidate.
"On healthcare: “I support flexibility in government regulations that allow competition in health care that is needed, and is proven to be good for the consumer, which will drive down health care costs and reduce the need for government subsidies.”"
On the economy: “I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process.”

Yeah, cause capitalism is really working out in the healthcare field. I personally love my insurance company. They never screw me over. Oh. And the millions of uninsured that can't even afford the crap I get to buy? Clearly market forces will help them out. Brillant MaCain/Palin. Sounds just like the Bush team.
And McCain's little lady.
Yeah, she was campaigning for daddy by heading over to Georgia for a little goodwill tour. Seriously, John, I don't mind another Cold War so that you can get elected. Really.
Why has he sent his lady friend over there?
Well religion and oil of course!

John gives us a little history on how Georgia was one of the first Christian nations. Who cares?
Oh, and also it has massive oil pipelines.
Maybe Cindy and the Republicans can start another war over oil.
Is this a fricken joke? Are these people for real? This country now stands for
overdependence on oil without disregard or responsibility
international disapproval
fat people
ignorance
wars
shitty healthcare
environmental destruction.
yeah.
lovin' it
ps. neuroanantomy is going well. Having a little issue with sorting out all the Thalamus stuff but it will come. Lots of tracts rolling through the ol' "gateway to consciousness"

Post rant humor
One of my classmates is now famous!

you can enter in any slang you may know. Well, lately bored and stressed classmates have been adding in stuff they have made up. One of them, a super cool gay dude in my med school class, had an experience a few weeks ago that inspired this new slang verbage.

Death
That did not last long as suspected.
Sad, but the child was likely to be brain dead....
sort of like the leaders of this country.
I can't believe these people are suppose to represent me. Why is it that we are so driven to put up walls, boundaries, defense systems? Answer: Fear. Inherent weakness and fear. A lack of depth in our communal abilities to think. To suppress and reason through our fears. The more walls we build, the more others have a reason to try and bring them down.
Now, we have signed a deal to put up a missile defense system in Poland. For what? So we can go to war with Russia? Great, lets ruin relations with Russia over prophylactic, unnecessary, violent and costly weapon systems. That way, when they get pissed we can actually have a reason to use them.
news link
Like we would allow a new missile system 120 miles from our border? Of course Russia has the right to question this.
I am against it all. Lets find the biggest god damn hippy and get him/her in office ASAP.
Peace. Those that don't feel it are the fearful ones.

Intentions
I have this weird thing going on where I think about doing certain things over and over but never actually convince myself to take the time to do these things. I have been meaning to catch up with my best friends for months, been meaning to blog here since the end of the school year, to whittle down my to-do lists, and to call my long lost sister. But hey, I've been burnt.
Intentions: got a lot of them but have not been acting on a whole lot of them. Medical school seems to drain the life out of me at times. Lately, I have been trying to convince myself that this is just how it has to be right now and that I need to just accept this. No money to travel, no time to visit friends, no western geography to play and conquer, and too much neuroanatomy to learn. Even this summer seems to have been focused on this medical school process and I am told that this was my last summer "off" as there are boards and clinicals in the upcoming summer months.
My ladyfriend has tried to drill the verb "should" out of my vocabulary. This is in an effort to stay in the moment, to stay balanced and healthy, and to not to commit to more than you are capable of....
our fridge even has a small piece of paper on it that reads,
"I am relaxed and centered. I have plenty of time for everything."
I think this is a good lesson. I still think I need to act on some of these intentions as I spend more time thinking about them than they would take to accomplish.
Looks like I will start blogging a little more again.
cheers
