I used to love MacGyver when I was younger, but I never realized he had such a super mullet. I want to find a way to watch some old episodes to see if they were actually any good or just something I remember to be much better than it really is (like SpaghettiOs).
So I'm now 30. It's been a year since I have blogged. Most of my contribution to the internetz is on twitter, but I have always liked more of the options of a blog. So who knows maybe I'll start posting more. Rumor has it that @jhawkgray might even start blogging or tumblring soon.
Monday Night Football was in New England last night and it was cold and breezy. The Don was there along with his hair and one of them got a little riled up when a sudden updraft of air rushed into the luxury sweets.
I've never fully taken advantage of some of the goodies that Hulu has to offer but I came upon a cool series of videos from AV Underground where they have 25 bands cover 25 songs on a first come first served basis. Nashville's own Ben Folds has a great cover of Elliott Smith but my favorite so far is Coheed and Cambria covering The Smiths.
I don't know why it has been so long since I updated the blog...really no good excuse.
Lots of things have been going on since last post...finished 2nd year of residency, oriented all the new interns, about to finish up my 3 months as chief resident. I've applied to 26 sports medicine fellowships and waiting to hear back about interviews. I'll be crossing the country interviewing during November and December and maybe stopping a location near you. I've been riding my road bike a lot and even entered my first bike race, a criterium in St. Louis. Got some cool pics to show from it...
Thanks to Barack I got $4500 for my Jeep that was worth about a 450 bucks and got a new Honda Civic. It felt like I was taking a dog to be put down when I was driving my car to the dealer for the last time...lots of good memories in that car. But she had seen much better days and it was time to part with her. I've promised an blog entry devoted to the Cherokee soon.
Heading down to south eastern Missouri for my 4th Berryman Adventure Race. I've wised up from my younger days and 12 hours is now a sufficient adventure compared with 24-36 hours that I thought I could complete in college. Weather is looking like 40% chance of isolated storms which could be interested. I'm still trying to figure out how to do some twitter updates during the race. Our Team is Biggie Smalls because last year Biggie (me) was in the front of the canoe weighing it down and Smalls (Wes) was steering us in the back. That's one thing we are for sure fixing this year.
Just downloaded the new Derek Webb album Stockholm Syndrome tonight. I've always loved his music and voice. He put on a great show for TN Tech RUF about 8-10 years and I've been hooked ever since. He's one guy who is not afraid to sing controversial lyrics and I appreciate it. The single below didn't end up on his physical CD but you can download it for free from his website.
Lenny Dykstra used to be hard nosed on the baseball diamond and earned the nickname "Nails." These days he is a crooked businessman who has lawsuits chasing him from coast to coast. If you have some time check out this lengthy article by ESPN.com investigative reporter Mike Fish.
