So I was in the O.R. room yesterday, by the way I am a student, and we are getting set up for a patient to roll back. We established our sterile fields and set up what needed to be set up for this shoulder arthroscopy case. The patient enters the room and the docs do their thing with the patient and anesthesia fires up the gases to put this patient to sleep. The patient goes out and the surgeon leaves the room to scrub. At this time I hand the circulator the prepping wand so she can get started with the prep. She does her things prepping the arm and holding it. At this time the surgeon comes back in the room and asks me to hold the arm while he decides to drape the patient. I grab the patients wrist and hold it up like any normal person would do. the doc looks at me and says "You have to hold it hard and tight."

"Alright." I grab a bit harder and squeeze tightly.

He stands there, his drape in front of him, staring at me. At this point in time I'm thinking what anyone would... WHAT THE FUCK? And it this moment in time, as everyone is staring at me, the doc, angry as shit, goes. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT HARD IS?! YOU grab it like this..."

At this point in time I wish I could have stabbed the doc in the face and said "Don't you know what the fuck you are trying to explain bitch?" but as a student you have to sit there and take everything with a grain of salt.

In the end he explained it wrong anyway because what I needed to do was grab taughtly and pull up hard while he draped.

Sorry a Massa, Yessa Massa.

My wife and I were watching a show today about people who hit the lottery and became millionaires instantly. Some obtained as little as $3.4 million to $56 million. After watching this show an hour or so my wife and I then asked the million dollar question... "What would you do with that amount of money?"

Honestly I think splurging would be a necessity at some point in time especially if you really came from a poor to a medium income family, but my first worry about the money would be what if it runs out? What if I spend it too fast?

So I think investing would be wise. If I had $56 million I would take about $45 million and throw it all in a CD account, if possible, and let it sit and gain interest. If the interest on the CD account was 4% that would be a $1.8 million annual income from interest alone. Can you imagine making $1.8 million a year? Talk about set for life. Even if you made that $3 million you could invest the whole lump sum and interest would set you at $120,000 annually.

Another alternative would be buying a few fast food chains here and there. I don't know how practical the reality of it is but the concept of it seems nice. If it were to work the way I would want it I would buy a few Taco Bells and McDonalds and let that monthly income accumulate. It may require a lot more work and responsibility but this would be an interesting way of creating a constant income.

So my question to you is, What would you do with $56 Million?

Alright I am back to work after taking my two weeks of leave. Actually I have been back to work for about two weeks but right now I am taking over for the night shift for two days. Holy shit I have been watching a lot of movies with my wife lately, hopefully I can get the reviews up here shortly... it's a lot.

Anyway this post is simply for in case you get lost and can't find something good to listen to. If monotonous radio and or personal playlists' drive you nuts then tune to http://www.di.fm. It is more or less an electronic music site but for the most part these tracks and genres are pretty diverse. Check it out. My personal favorite is the Chillout genre.

Also my life long friend has started up his blog which will be as diverse as mine and then some. I may be slotted into a journalist position there as well so make sure you visit http://www.betrothal.net!

I have definitely spent a long time away from this blog... eventhough I pay for it monthly... ANDD I will just add an update.

 I have about a month left at this command I am at before the Navy sends me off to FMSS (Fied Medical Service School). The intent of this schooling is to earn the proper education on how to react during a combat situation as a Hospital Corpsman. The consistancies seem really fun as I do get to play in the mud and learn to asses combat situations properly as well as learn the in's and out's of field medical care. I will definitely keep a journal going on while I am there and will post up some entires when I can.

 Talk about breaking monotony.

Plot: Rancher Dan Evans heads into Bisbee to clear up issues concerning the sake of his land when he witnesses the closing events of a stagecoach robbery lead by famed outlaw Ben Wade. No sooner or later, Wade is captured by the law in Bisbee and Evans finds himself one of the escorts who will take Wade to the 3:10 to Yuma train in Contention for the reward of $200. Evans quest for taking Wade to the station is not only for saving for his land but an inner battle that he can be more than just a naive rancher in the eyes of his impetuous and gunslinging son William Evans. The transport to Contention is hazardous and filled with ambushes from Indians, pursuits by Wade's vengeful gang and Wade's own conniving and surreptitious demeanor that makes the ride all more intense.

Overview: Actually it was better than I thought it was going to be. I found it pretty captivating and it didn't cease to keep my attention drawn to it. It actually makes me wonder if that's how the west use to be, pretty frightful indeed. This is a movie worth the watch.
