Oh yes…unto a god…

I always really liked the gods from the good old days. Apparently, it’s because I’m one of them:

What kind of God are you?
Name
DOB
Favourite Color
You earthly time was spent	Raining torrents of blood while sailing over the prostrate masses in an iron chariot
Your throne is	fashioned from thorns and human femurs, surrounded by writhing, howling servants, with a footstool of souls on the sizzling shores of the Lake of Fire
You wear	A humble tunic and robes, belying your inestimable supernatural powers just waiting to shatter the woes of Creation
Your Godly superpower is	A flaming, indestructible sword with which you shall avenge the slain innocents and humble the arrogant

Making my peace with medicine

Every once in a while, I feel the need to give the world an update on my life. For one thing, I know how hard it is for friends to stay in contact when they’re traveling all over the world to vastly different places, and although some people say that it’s disingenuous to just pick up with somebody as if you’ve been talking to them every day, I think it’s just fine, and even quite touching. (However, this is not the same as meeting somebody with whom you were never close friends, who then acts as if you were bosom buddies.)

Such genuine acts of friendship transport you back to an earlier time in your life. If you want to talk about time-traveling, you don’t have to watch Star Trek or Back to the Future, just send an e-mail or letter to a friend with whom you haven’t spoken for a few months or years. If the connection is rekindled, you will experience a powerful time-defying moment.

But anyway, all that really is just a preface to say, “it’s okay if my friends keep tabs on me in a medium such as a blog or facebook.” That anybody wants to keep up with me at all is a sweet gesture, and in the past week or two, friends from all about have come out of the woodwork (spurred on no doubt by summer’s approach) to ask me how I am doing and also to tell me about their own adventures. Those who want the juicy details can read on, and those who want even more can e-mail me anytime (dochuyen84@gmail.com).
