I have thought about this video for a couple weeks now and it always makes me smile at the cleverness of it.


Ninja Parade Slips Through Town Unnoticed Once Again

Dominican Republic

We returned from our medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic this morning around 2am. Four hours later, I got up and went to work. Kind of depressing is the fact that this time yesterday, I was in the Dominican Republic... and this time last year, I was in Northern Italy. I was going to try and blog while I was in the DR but Dawn did it instead since she has to do it for a class. If you would like to read about our trip, click on the link below:

A Day in the Life... by Dawn.

She'll be keeping up with a blog that will cover the next year of her life.

OB/GYN

I went with Dawn to her OB/GYN appointment. Just a couple thoughts... One, I'm very glad I'm not a woman. I'm not sure you can be more violated than that... and two, did I just stand there and watch another man put his hands all over my wife? I think I was a little in shock. Since Dawn is a medical student, this guy did some teaching right in the middle of everything. I think I was waiting for him to do something that I thought was inappropriate so I could punch him but he never did.

Actually, it was kind of cool. I guess I got to see my wife in a whole different light... and angle.

Demotivational speaker

I was wondering if I could make a living as a motivational speaker... but the only things I'm really good at are relaxing and wasting time. This got me thinking... maybe I could be a motivational speaker about how you should have down time and try not to be so productive. But am I really motivating when you are discussing something other than work? So I would be motivating someone to not be motivated. I think this concept would work because my target audience would be highly motivated and want to go to a motivational speaker. True motivational speakers are really targeting people who aren't motivated and therefore, why would they get the motivation to sign up for a class? If they sign up, wouldn't that mean that they don't need a motivational speaker? Hence... the demotivational speaker.

Promotion

Also, I got promoted to Lieutenant. It's going to be a weird feeling reporting to work and being the person in charge that day. Scary, but exciting.

Missing Europe

Last night, I thought about what I was doing last year at this time. We were getting ready to go to Europe for 18 days. I was excited and nervous but it was the best trip of my life. Dawn and I had a great time and we will do it again one day. Rarely a day goes by that I don't think about that trip. I even miss our tiny car... going over 100mph on 13 inch wheels... now that's livin!

Driving

Why is it so easy to get a drivers license? Some people just shouldn't be able to operate a car, much less while listening to the radio while texting on their phone. I think we should be like Travis in Germany. They have a take a ridiculously long driver's education program that costs a lot of money. That way it weeds out people who can't drive. Anyway, just my rant for the day.
