A few things.

Okay, so, justification for the existence of this blog/journal/streamofconsciousnessdumpingspot:
And yes, I do have to justify this thing because at a school such as mine any sort of online expression other than drunken pictures on Facebook is generally looked down upon. But hey, I do have drunken pictures on Facebook, 'n' that's just me stickin' it to the man.

Right, back to what I was saying. I've had livejournals, xangas, and even a myspace I posted on. I simply never kept up with any of them once Norwich started. Too much to do, not enough time to think about anything other than what was directly in front of me...and if I did, I sure as hell didn't have time to write it down.

Well I'm about 8 months away from "real life" descending upon me like the fury of God, so all things considered, I believe it wise to create an outlet for my exploits/thoughts again. And to actively think about things other than how useless parade practice is and what uniform I need to wash and when my next briefing is due. Things like life. And Sudan. And the entire concept behind nursing homes, seeing as how I work at one and my discontent with the healthcare system is evolving from a removed disinterest to an indignant "WTF?"

So, here it is. My online thing where sometimes I write stuff, and occasionally use vague and unimpressive vocabulary words. And no, I won't be doing any math (...eli.) But I will be discussing numerous disease processes, cool chemistry facts and a thing here or there about trees.

The Eastern White Pine, Pinus strobus, is the only member of it's genus that has furrowed bark rathern than platy-scaly bark.
