  • Ah my loyal readers

    remember that old adage about not counting your chickens before they
    are in an omelette or somesuch? Well i did so. Turns out my green light
    was just a yellow that i sped through…

    To briefly catch all y’all up, I gambled and asked the attractive AP on
    a date for this weekend on Wednesday. I got a response that was
    indicative of if she was caught up in her studies, it would be a
    delight but she would have to let me know friday.

    This is what prompted the greenlight post, as I figured if she was
    going to reject me, it would have been done then and there rather than
    making me wait several days…makes sense, yes?

    Well Friday comes, and apparently in the interim the Attractive AP had
    had some drama in her life, including a fight with a good friend among
    other things. Due to all stress from classes and said fight she told me
    she wasn’t up to going out this weekend on a date or otherwise

    Now this is one of those times when if you listen very closely you can
    hear a voice in your head warning you about the course of action you
    should take…Lucky for me, the voice in my head uses a frying pan. So
    i realized the wise thing to do would be to press once and once only
    and then let it go for now. So I tell her i would be more than happy to
    take on the privilege of cheering her up, or if not this weekend when
    did she think would be a good time.

    Sadly for me, she didn’t know at this point.

    HOWEVER. I still did not get a flat out No, or i’m not interested,
    which to me means I still have a chance. I will simply wait her out a
    few weeks til after exams, and then ask again…remember Padawan, in
    affairs of the heart, just like in stand up comedy, timing is
    everything, and it’s all in the delivery.

    SO i must have patience…not like I going anywhere anyway

    I also apologize to all y’all for not posting slightly more often, but
    I have been ridiculously busy this week. Allow me to briefly fill you
    in. I have finally started Anatomy Lab, which is in a
    word…TREMENDOUS. We opened up the body bags, introduced ourselves to
    our cadavers (we named ours Charles) and got to work….

    Charles is a bit skinny, and his cause of death was metastatic colon
    cancer. We flipped him onto his stomach and got to work beginning the
    dissection of the Back muscles locating and then reflecting first the
    trapezius, then the latissimus dorsi, followed by the rhomboids and
    serratus posterior muscles….

    I realize that means nothing to all of my non med school readers…take
    my word for it, it is awesome. Being in Anatomy lab is the one class
    that really brings home that I have finally made it, that I am actually
    in med school and will one day be a doctor…and I love every minute of
    it, even if I do come home reeking of formaldehyde and have to take
    several showers before the smell of death washes off my body.

    If anatomy lab wasn’t enough, we also were holding auditions for the
    pacemakers this week, which is our school’s a cappella singing group.
    So i needed to be there for that…looks like a good group this year,
    and our first event is in less than a month, so we have a lot of work
    to do to teach them the various harmonies and parts for Stand By Me

    Oh yeah, and the physio review sesssions that Ryan aka Guns and I have
    been doing our getting to be pretty popular to the point that people
    are now randomly coming up to us in histo lab and asking us questions
    that keep getting harder and harder. So far we have been able to draw
    on our reserves and have not been terribly stumped, but thankfully we
    still have Tam (the Godfather) to come to our rescue

    But best of all! Our physio concept skits, what we call physio
    masterpiece theater has been picked up for a season! Basically all
    of our skits have been helpful enought that we are going to film them,
    and the school is going to upload it onto their servers so that the
    students can go back and use it as a learning tool and resource
    whenever they want…and at the end of the year they are going to give
    each student a DVD with all the skits we have done…that is 1 10
    minute skit each week for about 20 weeks give or take a few for exams.

    Since we get to assist in putting it on DVD, we are so gonna do a
    directors cut with all the jokes and concepts we had to leave out as we
    think these things up…soon as I get a chance, I will start posting
    the videos on here for you guys to enjoy as well

    And speaking of thigns i have to post, there are a truckload worth of
    pictures forthcoming from the poker tournament, some more dinners, and
    other stuff.

    But I can’t leave you people just like that…I haven’t posted any wacky porn in a while, lets do that.

    Now you all know how much I love the japanese and their wacky sex
    culture. Japan has come up with a brilliant toy on the reasoning hey,
    what guy can’t use a nice tall can of female genitals now and then?

    But you know what? There comes a point in every guy’s life where you must draw the line. Moments like that you start to
    question everything – “How the hell did it come to this? Who am I? What
    am I doing with my life??

    I personally, am combing the net for stupid shit like this because
    hey…med school as I repeatedly complain is liable to be one big long
    ride of celibacy if i can’t swing a date this year..and I dont want to
    rule out any options quite yet

    Coming Soon…

  • ps – I hate your stalker.  Not yours personally, but the stalkers in general.  Freaky.

  • Speaking of wacky porn, my new post is especially for you.

    And hell yes, let’s get some rum.  When in February and where?  Coming to visit the Metropolis that is Kochi?

  • Hello Josh, it’s been awhile! Good to know you’re enjoying med school. Strange how they don’t tell you anything about the cadaver. We actually met the relatives of ours. I think in general, we have much more respect for the donor when we know more about him/her. Good luck with the Lady AP, and keep us posted. Also, I would *love* to se these physiology skits!!

  • i like that you have a name for your cadaver. tell charles i said hi.

    hmmmm so you asked AP out. i would say don’t focus on one situation. if you have many flying around the better. it keeps you from thinking too much about one person and makes you look less desperate. i am just playing the field and when i one steps away from the field i grab her. i think 1 has, but that doesn’t mean i am going to close my other options. she has to make it accept her award and prize. which is me. but she hasn’t yet. until then i am still out.

  • The difference between a med student and a non-med student, reading your story about Charles makes me want to puke and then combine that with your wacky porn…ohhh man, I just vomited a little in my mouth!! 

    Good luck with attractive girlie!!  I just hope she is not the type that is too nice to say no but rather keeps pushing things back until the guy gives up. 

    Gotta go canoe!!  Bye!

  • awesome!!  see, I read your entry 

  • Dude, I need to see those skits.  What are the chances of you hooking me up with a dvd in a year?  I’ll try to reciprocate with wacky Japanese porn.

  • 1.  working out post anatomy lab decreases the smell tremendously since you sweat it out of your pores.

    2. double gloving is good for decreasing the smell factor as well, although it does get costly

    3. when you get to the abdomen on your cadaver, i would highly recommend swabbing the underside of your nose with some vick’s vaporub.  trust me on that one.

    4. can’t wait for dinner =D
