When medics get bored...



OK... so not all medics are this warped... just the ones that have to deal with me. We have this product we use to stop Arterial Bleeding. Pour it on an artery and things clot up real nice. A new version recently came out (The old one got super hot), and barely made it to country when it was recalled. Apparently the clots are a little loose and break free, causing strokes and what not. We had a spare package to mess with... this is what we came up with... its a clotted blood snowman (My blood)... you had to be there....

LOOK! I posted a picture! That hasn't happened in a minute....


Hey... I know you! So there are 150,000 soldiers over here... I find it amazing how often I run into people I know.... Jon Woolley and I. The Army has been great for him, he's grown up a ton... I guess so have I.

Is it New Years allready?

OK... so I planned on posting my New Years resolutions around New Years... but my internet hasn't been doing so well... Dates are rather meaningless around here anyway... I figure I have exactly one year left in the Army.. so I am making today New Years Day. I decided I needed 10 goals... didn't think it would be so hard to decide on 10.

So here there are... hopefully I can stick to em for once...

#1 ... Post to the blog at least once a week. My record isn't so hot on this one, but look, 1st day of the year and I have one knocked out!

#2 ... Make it to 185lbs, without gaining any fat. Currently at 170.

#3 ... (GYM STUFF)
Get my bench press at the gym up to 300lbs. Currently at 175.
Get my 2-mile Run time down to 10 minutes or less. Currently run 2 miles in 14 minutes.

#4 ... Complete 18 semester hours of school. (The max my TA will pay for in a year) I start 2 classes (6 hrs) in Feb. Working on a Bachelors in Business Administration at the American Military Institute. I allready have an Associates in Counter-terrorism Studies. How do these two degrees go together? I have no clue.

#5 ... Read at least 25 books. To include Jesus The Christ and the Bible that I got for Christmas!

#6 ... Put at least $1500 a month in my savings account.

#7 ... Learn Spanish... Relearn I guess. But I didn't have it that well the first time. I am able to use the Rosetta Stone Programs for free through the military.. so we will see how that goes.

#8 ... Become a one car man for the first time in a long time. Can't afford so many toys for a while when I get out of the Army. Any interest in a 2000 Dodge Viper, 2004 Mustang Mach 1, or a 2001 Dodge Ram? I don't really consider the little truck when looking at this goal. That thing is everyones!

#9 ... Buy a house! I have been looking at this one for a little while. May have to sell a few of the toys before I jump into this one. We will see.

#10 ... Get out of the Army! There isn't really a whole lot I can do for this one. 365 days to go.

So there they are. Is there anything I missed? Gonna try and update these once a week... an unofficial goal.
