war and doctors and a bunch of other nonsense

i haven't forgotton my blog. there are lots happening and i don't know if i should write about the big things or the little things. though i guess it makes little difference either way since i don't have the time jot down the little details.

it looks like that a war against iraq will happen. a war in the 21st century just seems ...out of time and place. a step backward. i feel like we are in one of those war movies.

i went to the doctor/specialist two times in the last month, as recommended by my optometrist.

i should get more rest since i have a cold. i've already lost track of count of the number of times i've sneezed today. i just don't want to go the doctor's; it's no fun.

don't get me wrong, the field itself is very exciting, but i just wouldn't want to be a patient - for the simple reason (and logic) that if you are a patient, you're probably sick. and who in their right minds want to be sick?

besides, if you are not a kid, you get no candies (ha!), and you probably don't enjoy having a doctor poke you with a long, sharp needle. (Yep, I'd make a great nurse; i can easily scare the crap out of little kids) :) J/K

also, some doctors - i am not referring to mine as i haven't met her yet - exhibit a self-righteous arrogance with an air of superiority (or self-importance), which is a major turnoff. i'd switched doctors. actually, this doesn't apply only to doctors. the same can be said of lawyers, politicians, etc. i don't care where they go to school; they may be smart; right; educated, rich, privileged (other adjective here), but if they think for one moment that they are better than another person, then it's very sad that they've lost track of a very fundamental fact. we are all human. i know it sounds silly and simple. but sometimes, it's incredibly easy to forget that the only thing separating them from say, homeless people is a job (income). and while hard work is important, it would be naive to think that chance doesn't come into play...

okay, i am done with my ramblings...for now.
