UpdatingAs with my usual form, I figured it was about time I posted something on here, even though I can’t say I am the kind of person to regularly post blogs or anything of the sort, I have a certain fondness for the community on here, not to mention Rooster Teeth itself, been watching Red vs. Blue since 2005 and I have had this profile here since 2007 going on 2012, even though life becomes insanely busy, I know where to come if I ever need a laugh, which is one of the reasons I am a sponsor and have been every chance I have had in the last few years.

Anyways, I suppose it’s about time for an update on how life is going. Well, professionally, I am planning on Medical School, I finished my first Degree in Sociology; I am currently a year or so away from completing my second in Biology (B.S) with an emphasis in Medicine. It took me a hell of a long time to figure out what direction I wanted my life to go in, I felt as though I had so many choices in front of me, I didn’t know which was the right one to go with and I have learned that is how life goes sometimes, you do what you can and hope it works out.

When people ask me why I choose medicine, the normal assumptions are either I am doing it for the money (which is a nice bonus I won’t deny it), or that I am some naïve bleeding heart looking to save the world or something like that. The truth is a little more selfish, but has nothing to do with money believe it or not. I am doing this because I want my life to mean something; I want to know at the end of the day that, what I did with my life was worth it. I don’t want to feel like I just sat back and watched life pass me by, that I am capable of doing something amazing, but I choose not to, even though sitting on my ass for the rest of my life is tempting. I believe everyone should strive for this to be honest with you, striving for altruism is a ridiculous notion to me, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be good people, sprinkled with a little bad on top, cause let’s be honest, we all like to be bad every so often and no one is perfect by any means. So, whether you decide to be an amazing Engineer and build the next life changing device, or whether you decide to become an M.D. and help cure cancer, or even if you just want to be the best Father/Mother to your children or anyone’s children, find something that will fulfill your life and be amazing at it, because if your happy, I guarantee the people around you will find happiness too.

Now, onto more personal topics, my personal life has been going quite well too, living with my girlfriend now, which is going surprisingly well. I keep myself very busy, between working, going to school, and I now volunteer at the local Emergency Room, I hardly have time for anything, but the occasional WoW Dungeon. I remember a couple of years ago, I was hitting a bar/club or some sort of party every other night, and now suddenly I find myself all grown up, it’s like I was castrated and no one bothered to let me know. I can’t say that I am complaining though, there is a time and place for everything, and I am sure in time I will get back to having more fun again, in fact, since I busted my ass this last year or so, I figure this coming year, is time to have a little fun. I’ll be 27 in June, so I am going to go and get my Skydiving Certification, something I have wanted to do for a few years now, because what’s more exhilarating than jumping out of a plane right? Well, I am sure I can think of at least one thing and I will let your imagination connect the dots on that one. Among other things, I plan to pick up French again and finally become fluent, and I am going to get back into the Saxophone at some point too, I can almost play “Baker Street” fairly well, but hey, I want to be amazing or as close as I can get.

Overall, life is good, and I hope for all of you out there it is good as well. Someone a very long time ago told me, “To know ones limitation, is to know one’s self, to know one’s self is in turn to know ones potential…..if you can get that far, then you can be amazing and all you have to do is embrace it”. When I was 5 years old I was too busy drooling over myself to know what the hell that really meant, but now I do and I hope others take it to heart as I have, because we have enough douche bags in the world, let’s give a shit and be amazing .

Till Next Time. Peace.
