This semester is pretty much full force, kick your ass, and kick you while you’re on the ground bleeding. I am trying to stay strong, push hard, and do work, but it is really tough when everything is screaming and throbbing, and you just want to go to sleep in an ice bath until your swelling goes down.
Nope. Torture times. If it’s bleeding, make it bleed more. If it’s swollen,...
I am also going to come up with a new form of physical therapy - Free Play for Adults. Not sexual, as it sounds. More about getting in touch with your inner child, and releasing the cares and pressures of the adult existence. Physically. With like, water soccer, woods running, free running, fear inhibition exercises, etc. And a lot of it will be in the water for those with crippling pathologies...
So we briefly alluded to WATSU in Aquatic Therapy...
Enter, my newest crunchy post-grad certification:
In “Aquatic Shiatsu” we learn to develop rapport while studying Oriental philosophy. In studying the Five Element Theory we understand that everyone has some of each of the elements. We learn to support balance in another without judging. Instead of considering what the other’s problem is, we learn what their passion is, what...

I have been watching Jamie’s Food Revolution all morning on Hulu after Food Network was a big letdown, and all I can say is that the way America eats is fucking atrocious, and no one gives a single shit.
….Well, I won’t say no one, because most of my friends care, but the general population of the US could not give a single shit.

I 100% agree with this statement.
Pretty fitting that I would be listening to Shpongle while studying motor pathways of the brain.

I guess that’s life. Joe’s tax return present came yesterday. I have to say, I’m a little jealous…
Soooo....
I deleted everything I’ve done since PT school started from my computer. Rock the fuck on!
I kept my cool, and the boys found some recovery software for me. I ran it, and found a lot of my stuff. However, a lot of it is gone, gone, gone. Most of the docs that the program recovered do not have my original notes attached to them, or if they weren’t .doc or .docx or .pdf, they...
I was really understanding neuroscience. Then today happened.

I don’t really know how I feel about Valentine’s Day. I used to abhor it while single, but now that I am married, and have a love who is skeptical in some of the ways I am, I kind of see it as a silly place, like Camelot.
Not that I take my man’s love for granted, but I kind of feel like our anniversary is a more apt representation and celebration of our love for each other. It...

I am not going to assume how Whitney died. Maybe it was drugs. Maybe it was illness. Maybe it was sadness. Maybe her heart failed her. Maybe it was a combination of things.
Regardless of HOW she died the fact is she died AND she was an addict. When addicts die the shit talk becomes thick and…
