BEDA 20 - When you find yourself in the presence of people

I have to admit that I struggled with finding an appropriate picture and I imagine that I will struggle equally when trying to find fitting lyrics at the end of the blog post...

I should also tell you that I ultimately failed in finding an appropriate picture and the idyllic scene you can see above has actually nothing to do with my experiences today.

So today was hectic at work. Things came up last minute to be finished shortly afterwards. People were crazy and everything was blurry. This was the fun part though. In the late afternoon (I had already decided to leave timely to get some of that glorious sunshine...) my boss comes in and tells me that I should accompany him when looking at the "remains" of a patient. I'm sparing you the details, but let's just say that I spent an inappropriately large amount of time in the company of metal trays filled with various organs and two professors poking and pulling some of them. I'm not squeamish when these things are concerned (but I do have to leave the room when in Jackass the movie one of them eats peed-on snow). It was fairly interesting to be honest, but now comes the thing.

I had the distinct impression that both professors didn't actually quite know what they were talking about. I might be wrong (I hope to God that I am), but that's what it felt like. I will spare you the details now, but this will be drawn into my memory as one of the most macabre afternoons of my life so far.

In other news, I started the countdown today for my last exam in a few weeks. I should now start preparing myself, but like I said, work was c-r-a-z-y today.

Also, I began downsizing my internet presence. I have way way too many sites where I'm present. I will strip down and only keep those that I deem a necessity for my online life. Right now, that encompasses:

Blogger, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook. I'm still undecided concerning blip.fm and also twitter... we will see.

That should be enough for today. It certainly was enough for me ;)

Lyrics (after struggling):

I've been thinking

I've been thinking I've been thinking too much

I just want to live now for a little while

And cast my dreams to the wind

Don't wanna wonder

Don't wanna wonder what it's all about

I'm just working for a living singing with my friends

As I cast my dreams to the wind

Maryland, I'm coming home

Never worry about what I did wrong

And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be

And I'll never see what my mama's dreams were

But I will sing

I wanna fly

I wanna fly down the highway to my home away from home

This funky funky club on Fairfax Avenue to see you

I'll never give up

Because what is there to give up anyway

I'm just working for a living working for my pay

In Maryland it's raining somewhere in some cafe

Maryland, I'm coming home

Never worry about what I did wrong

And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be

And I'll never see what my mama's dreams were

But I can sing
