So I had a karate seminar with Sensai Dan Harast (6th Dan) on Saturday. It was awesome, just awesome. I thought I die of exhaustion (or pain). It was about an hour and fifteen minutes long. We were constantly jumping and jumping and jumping…basically doing a lot of leg work from which I developed blood [...]

Those Crazy Americans

Mr. Vice President shoots a lawyer.
Did he mean to shoot the lawyer? And of all professions, the victim just happened to be a lawyer? Oh the questions…
I especially like this quote:
Dr. David Blanchard, the emergency room chief, estimated that Mr. Whittington had more than 5 but “probably less than 150 to 200” pellets lodged in [...]

Histology and Karate Seminar
Filed Under AMB Division, Karate | Leave a Comment
We had our fist day in histology today. Nothing special. Orientation and the likes. Sounds interesting but I know it’ll be lab work. For some reason unbeknownst to me, I don’t think I’d like to sit behind a microscope for the rest of my life.
Karate was interesting today. We did Bassai-Dai, Kanku-Dai, and Nijushiho. I [...]

Spamful
Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
Wow, ever since installing Spam Karma 2 I’ve been bombarded by spam ranging from levitra and viage to penile enlargements and free adult services. It’s amazing. Sometimes I wonder if Spam Karma itself just adds banned comments to the list of comments it bans in order to give itself praise and reason for survival. After [...]

Inspiration

I sometimes stop and take a moment to think about the things that inspire me. Inspire me to go on, to do something, to live. My parents inspire me to do my best. My colleagues inspire me to compete at my highest level in school and sport. Other people’s talents inspire me to try them [...]

Life still goes on

I’m on a break right now and there’s two more weeks of it to go. I start school on the 12th or some day like that. I did my laundry today, cleaned my room, cleaned the other rooms, explored my drawing talent (there’s not much though), watched Les Rivieres Pourpres, listened to music, and read [...]

In most cases the cause is trauma and the bleeding is located in the anterior third of the nose. Epistaxis is also associated with infrections and hypertension.

Blockage of Parotid Duct
Filed Under Medical | Leave a Comment
Behind your jaws (more or less) you have this awesome salivary gland that makes saliva (Duh). The (parotid) duct that goes from the gland to the cheek and opens into the mouth can be blocked by a calcified deposit – a sialolith or calculus (in latin it means pebble). This causes pain in the gland [...]

A Little Bit of Updating

Starting moving some files and informations from my old site (“the page”) to this site. The Family Tree section is now here along with bits and pieces of the guitar one. Soon to come will be the Track and Field as well as more Martial Arts as I continue my page creation.
