Grenada - Invasion - The same place we goto Medical School

Here's a discovery channel documentary about the invasion. Everyone on the island remembers it well.

What's to live for?

I wonder:
Why can't i live my life out there? I could. In fact, id be much happier at the moment. Hiking, living outside. Enjoying company of friends and people. But how long could I support that? How long can you stay happy like that before expenses set in. We just don't have a society that allows you to be a bum, atleast for most of us. And how long can you be happy without knowing what the next day will bring. Sure it seems absolutely wonderful now, but in time, won't i just fall right back into the groove i was before I started this whole journey? Dreading that the next day I wake might not bring me any more happiness than the last, a monotonous unchanging boring life void of surprises. I need change, i need new spirits, I need experiences, stories, travels, wisdoms, friendships, purpose. Why does this seem so foreign to me now? Maybe I'm just so deep in the process of finding happiness that I forgot that I was on the right path. Maybe I just need to hear someone tell me I'm doing the right thing. Someone might tell you: do what your heart tells you, do what makes you happy. But your heart is short sighted, your heart can not perceive your happiness years ahead of you. Well, this is what medical school is. It's a lengthy journey, years long, on the road to happiness. And along the way, if your heart tells you that you're not happy. Should you ignore it then? Or listen.

SGU, probably moreso than other schools gives you some good times to be happy about. But not all the time.  Studying doesn't give you that luxury all the time.

And so we all quest for an income, something to support ourselves and the loved ones around us with a happy and comfortable lifestyle. Something with purpose, with dignity, with responsibility. Something that can change the world. I just wish I was capable of seeing past the now, and experience the happiness that I wish one day fills my days. I suppose I have to earn it first.

hopes and dreams

They say a physician gives up his life to pay service to the community, be overworked, under appreciated, and under constant stress. This is true, but we also do it for selfish reasons. Everything you do has a component of selfishness, that can be justified in one's mind by pairing it with generous and charitable acts. This balance is what I strive for.

I want never again to worry about money, nor the people around me whom I love.

I want to be free to travel the world, learn of culture, history, art, food, and people.

I want to make a difference in people's lives, and give them the opportunity to live better, more fulfilling, and happier lives.

I want to be near the ocean.

I want to build a family one day.

I want to be free.

100 year old Marathoner finishes, 27 year old marathoner dies

Now this is just a real story of life and death and how different people's lives are. Makes you sort of believe in God or something. Same marathon, the waterfront marathon in Montreal. 73 years apart. One lives to finish the race, the other dies trying.

Excellent metaphor - Barry Sanders

Back that thing up

Just the video i was looking for. A parody reminder to tell everyone to back up your work, cuz I've been there... and when you have to redo medical school work. It's no joke.

Trick shot Doc

This is hilarious. enough said. 

Success... How bad do you want it?

I don't know about you. But this gives me goosebumps. I do give up sleep. I do give up food. I do give up the very things I need just to succeed. I just like hearing someone else say it.

Man survives without a Heartbeat

This is just plain incredible.

Soo very interesting

This talk is quite old, but it brings a very interesting concept to light.

Looks like green tea is the new Preventative medicine. I think the Japanese are on to something here. I remember when I visited Japan, they served everyone a glass of green tea the same way we serve everyone a glass of water when you sit down at a restaurant. Still doesn't explain why they have such a high rate of stomach cancer.

Anyway, Enjoy!
