HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, TIM!!!
tk is becoming a big boy, but when i think of tk, my first impression is of tk as a freshman. the freshman that ppl said looked like me. the guy that over the years proved to have many uncanny similarities with me. what i can always appreciate about tim is that he is honest and trying his best to run hard. he is hard on himself, but that's because he's is properly gazing at the true and only standard.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIAN!!!
the one and only bs. hahaha this brother amazes me with his genuine desire. he has big dreams, and he's working hard to get em. he also belongs to the "girl crazy, but no game" club that i am president of. the most anally clean dude i've ever met. would put girls to shame in his fastidiousness. all heart, baby.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, DANIEL!!!
YG kid. only person who might be as bball crazy as i am on the east coast. such a nice kid. so quiet and obliging, he sometimes gets overlooked amongst all the bustle and the louder kids. but such a critical member of our little family. i'm really looking forward to seeing his growth unfold.

i forgot to mention this, but DL gave the performance of a lifetime in serenading miss jennifer b. with my girl at open mic this past sunday. i was laughing really hard, but at the same time, i was thinking, dude, this guy has BALLS. she must've been tickled off her rocker. i'm sure other girls were, as well. probably a little jealous, too, eh? hahahaha...

surgery wk 4, day 23 (on call)
it's been a wonderful time, but i can't wait for this to be over. i'm really, really tired. waking up at 5:20am every morning is JUST NOT KOSHER. my body just doesn't function that way.
during a 30 min break in between cases, i ran over to the gym to work out (lunch has ceased to become a regular thing in my life, so the norm is now to go without). i was doing fine, doing my thing, until i overdid one particular exercise with weights, and heard something tearing at the back of my neck, and pain shot up my neck, into my head and down my back, forcing me to drop the weights. the tearing sound sounded like tension fibers being pulled apart, rapidly.
the pain has lessened over the course of the day, but my neck movement is really limited. i can't turn my head to either side more than 45 degrees without pain setting in. it kinda feels like a whiplash injury from a car accident. there is still some pain at rest at vertebral C7 region, and a small diffuse headache in the occipital region.
if this doesn't get better soon, i'm going to have to get it checked out. i hope i didn't cause permanent injury... images of christopher reeves keep shooting into my mind...
