Quarter Life Crisis

Do you ever feel like you're about to burst out of your body because.... who knows why? Nothing anatomical.  You just want to get away and breathe the air alone. I think Eef Barzelay said it best when he said, "You make me want to break something beautiful."I know what you mean Eef. I really do. Read these lyrics:

You make me wanna soak it in gasoline,
stain my new shirt.
You make me wanna sip lysol from a cup. So clean it hurts.
You make me wanna break something beautiful.

Is it okay for me not to want to make that much money this summer as much as I'm expected to? I want to be occupied and have a fulfilling day but right now I honestly don't care to make tons of money. I wouldn't mind selling ice cream to people right now as I rode a bicycle around. $10/day selling ice cream. I'd like to do that for about a day.

Call it a quarter life crisis but in august Im going to podiatry school which will last 4 years. After that I will always work as a podiatrist. Now is the last time in my life I will ever have a job thats not being a podiatrist. Why not sell ice cream for a day? I am serious. I just decided if you are attending a parade around here this summer, you will see me pulling a cooler on my bike and I will be giving out otter pops for 25 cents. I will pay you 25 cents to take an otter pop. Please let me

Cancer Time

I write this from a hotel bed in Orlando Florida far from home. Today I attended the 1st day of the 102nd annual conference of the American Association for Cancer Research. Just imagine a Guns n Roses concert thats sold out but really everyone there is geeking out about the latest studies on macrophages or thymadine kinase. The biggest insight I've gained from this trip down here is how important it is to just do what you love and do it well. If you love to research, research your freakin face off and if you love to barbecue chicken then you might as well be Cornell Sanders. I'm so blown away by all these geniuses. I feel very humbled to see these veterans in their field they know so well and that I am just being introduced to. A man in his time plays man parts.
