NewTAN's Third Law of Motion (Page 27)

Thanks kido..........I miss chat.  Chat was fun.  I have a wedding planner thank God.  The planning is actually going fine butt he fact my maid of honor backed out is annoying and that one of the groomsmen is behaving like a 2 year old..  Hope your step mother is better.   Its stressful to have injured loved ones.  I find that being the doctor is the easiest road followed by being the pt and being the loved one really is the pits.  When you have malpractice insurance and leave a practice you purchase "tail" to "cover your tail"  There is a statue of limitations on malpractice cases and it covers you until that runs out.  Its stupid expensive.  IF I hadn't been digging myself out of a financial pit of despair the last 3.5 years it would not be a problem

Better yet, learning what has become a passion to you. Then it's not even work! I have spent SO many hours recently trying to learn everything I can about photography. Anything I can read or watch. I have learned so much and most of it I didn't even realize was out their TO learn! I had no clue about white balance or bracketing for HDR or even rules of composition. Also realize how much more their is to learn. Just scratch the surface. (it used to be that way for triathlons, then golf, the the next thing) Sometimes I wonder if I had as much passion for school work what kind of grades I could have gotten!

I always siad if you can learn one thing new a day, then it's a good day. PLUS there is so much to learn you can never run out. Almost sad life is so short. Languages, history, astronomy, physiology, sociology, art, physics, music (many of my favorites)Even if most things are out of reach or not of interest to someone, there are still thousands of other things to learn.

It's always fascinating to see what gets someone fired up. People that may appear to have no real aptitude or "smarts" may be able to devote countless hours to master something that would amaze you. So find your passion TAN and embrace it!

Photography is fun.  Its COMPLETELY changed by digital photography.  take a class where you can develop your own film and you will really be blown away.  that's really fun.  Did that in undergrad.  1000 years ago. 

If I could have pizza once a day I'd be a happy man!

I have some theories on this, partially involving the fact that the majority of the super active TANNers back in the day have simply moved on. I think some of them were put off by the "divide" created between a very small minority of BTers who attacked TAN and kept twisting and twisting trying to get a reaction. That was ridiculously silly and I know I just stopped interacting with those people all together, including reading TAN since they came in here to attack as well.

Also for me, I started a new job in April and am way busier so I just don't have time to check in and read/reply to everything anymore. Makes me realize just how NOT busy I was at my last job where I had all that time.

Speaking of dumping random thoughts, here's a philosophical one for the day:

There are many versions of ourselves recreated in the minds of everyone we've ever met.

And I do actually check back to see if my posting of these random thoughts spur any sort of conversation, however they have not been good conversation seeds...

Unfortunately, no-ones version of me is nearly as cool as the real deal.  Not sure why everyone gets it wrong. 

you can't know someone over the internet, only those portions of themselves they choose to share.  Most of us are quite complex creatures.  Very few of the people who I consider friends know all the parts of me.  I'm quite complicated.

I get it wrong because you always have goofy avatars then I see pictures of you in real life on the facebook and I'm like "what?  you are tall and skinny?  not peter griffin?"

Speaking of Kido avatars, it is October which means time for the creepy one.

I don't really consider people "friends" unless I'm willing to share all sides of me with them.

I am thinking it is a Taco Bell Friday today.

I ran across some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies at Von's yesterday.  Since the wife loves all things pumpkin-ee, I got them for her.  I was dubious at first, but OMG, so good...

Thanks for the reminder Meh, it may be time for a spooky avatar change...

If I still drank milk/coffee drinks I would be at the coffee shop by my office each morning getting one of their pumpkin lattes made with real pumpkin puree... so good, just watch out for the slurry at the bottom of the cup.

our cafeteria makes a pretty decent pork bbq on fridays that i'm about to hit up.

then to see gone girl in the fancy new theater!  whoo hoo!

We are going to see the Equalizer, the new Denzel movie. My wife wants me to read the book Gone Girl before we see the movie!

Wife is leaning towards Gone Girl and I'm more for seeing the Equalizer...  I'm sure both are going to be good and we will get them both in eventually.

I usually try NOT to read the book before seeing a movie.  Enjoy the movie without expectations, then read the book and enjoy it over again because books tend to be better in the first place.

Just beware if you try and read any of Gone Girl author's other books. So disturbing. I read Dark Places and have Sharp Objects but am delaying reading it because I hear it's just as dark.

I effing hate when I'm subjected to dealing with the stupidity of others, and then they act like the stupid isn't theirs.  Few things burn my patience quicker.

Eff the Universe!!

Happy Monday, all.

"You can't fix stupid"

i'm going to download these on nook right now.  i like disturbing and i'm almost done with the book i've been reading lately!

Listened to this on my drive to MO... My sister had already read it. Our conversations about the book usually went:

Me: This is so effed up! This story is crazy!

Her: What part are you at?

Me: (whatever part)

Her: Oh just wait. It gets weirder.

It did. Every time.

Aw, I killed TAN!

Happy Monday, everyone!

You can't kill TAN   Hope things are better for you Elaine.  Didn't you move? 

I'm in missouri for 6 more weeks for military training.

There may be a big move in the near future - potentially leaving Tucson for the east coast again

How have you been? Wedding planning, right? And did I see an injury in there?

downloaded both, they start tonight.
