So here I am. Again. I plan on taking this blank template and transforming it to an homage to a prior blog that briefly experienced a flurry of prose, thanks to the leisure of fourth year of medical school. But a lot has happened since the friendster version of monkeysoup, or as I had aptly called it: ruminations from a jungle full of blahblahblah and tralala. Perhaps, if I had to rephrase it now, I'd scratch the "tralala" bit.
As I said, a lot has happened.
For one, I started residency in obstetrics, started doing surgery, experienced a chronic state of severe intellectual/emotional/physical malaise typical for a resident, and in an act of desperation, I surprised myself by moving to Los Angeles ( who knew?). My parents subsequently moved back to the Midwest, and my brother became a "doctor"....of math, that is, earning his PhD and getting engaged to Katherine in the process. I wrote about this in an email to an old friend, and I'm tempted to cut and paste. There's a lot of ground to cover.
SO, yes, I'm already selling out at various levels: blogging, cutting and pasting from an old email, and moving to LA to feed my starry ambitions to drive among palm trees and talk cinema.
But I'll indulge you at a later time. For now, just when I about to embark on journey of nonsequitors, I will bid adieu for the time being, until the trick under my sleeve starts flapping its wings recklessly and creates a racket. You know it will.
