"Most people gaze neither into the past nor the future; they explore neither truth nor lies. They gaze at the television."
Tom Yorke said that. Lead guy for Radiohead.
It makes so much sense.

This looks interesting.
Off to the showers. My arm still has a massive patch of Iodine from the needle yesterday.

I seem to have fluctuating ambition. It changes, day to day.
On my best days I want to go on to maybe even med school.
On the worst I want to graduate SMCC and be done forever.
On the whole, I want to take it easy. Maybe take a couple of core classes and see what I like. I want to take an investing course to learn how to manage my money, a skill which I lack. I know I will get a bachelors, in something, but then what? I could get my MBA and pursue an administrative career in respiratory. I could get my BS in bio and go to PA school. I could major in law (ha ha!). But what to do? So many choices!
It'll work out eventually, probably with me saying "meh" and doing whatever strikes my fancy at the moment of choice. That's usually how it works with me.
Discombobulation means bedtime.

I gave blood today. It hurt, but it *John Mellencamp voice* hurt so good...
It wasn't so bad. This is donation #4 for me. The worst part is the finger-stick, where they put a couple drops of blood from your finger in some chemical to see if you can donate. Apparently it tests the iron levels in your blood. The needle proper is just a pinch, and then a pressure sort of feeling while your bag fills. Today, it was over in a matter of minutes. Fastest time yet...I was on the table for 15 minutes, and 10 of that was waiting for the guy to put the needle in. It was good.
So, now I'm tired and stuff. But it was worth it. And I got a free CD, plus lunch and a feeling of mellow goodness from having donated blood again. It's very pleasing to know that some small part of me will go to help someone else...and I'm O-negative. Universal donor.
I must go now, for I am tired and somehwat delerious. As usual.

I really hate my neonatology and pediatrics course. I have no desire to work with premature babies in my career as an RT. I'll leave that to the people who want to do it and the neonatologists.
I'm just sayin'.

We're trapped, and there is nothing we can do
We're backdrifting...
(It's the devils way now
There is no way out
You can scream you can shout
There is no way out
Because you have not been
Paying attention)

Sometimes, I get this feeling of disconnect, like all the world's a dream and I'm only watching. I think it's because people do some blitheringly stupid fucking things sometimes. The feeling of disconnect is, I believe, a desire to not have to be a part of such a short-sighted collection of goobers.
Secretly, though, I like them. People make some stupid, stupid choices, but deep down inside I feel that maybe I can make a difference and help them.
The cynic in me is laughing so hard his imaginary gums are bleeding. Probably, people won't change and will continue to be morons and do dumb things.
But maybe...just maybe...I can make some sort of a difference. Maybe I can help just one person change their life for the better. Just one is all I ask. And then I'll be satisfied.
