bjm90291@creighton.edu BioIn the year 2002 A.D., I was reborn. This is a significant year for me because it was the year I was chrismated into the Holy Orthodox Church of Antioch. This is the most important thing I've done with my life. This is the thing which is required first and foremost to understand who I am becoming and who I hope to become.
I have a role model for my life now. He is St. Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol, the so-called Blessed Surgeon. This is pertinent since I too was chrismated Luke, after the apostle, and desire very greatly to become a surgeon. May the Lord guide me and bless me in this endeavor be it pleasing to Him.
Mostly, in my faith, I tend to stumble and fall for prolonged periods of time, as you may notice. But bear with me, though, salvation is a journey of the soul, rather than a singular event in its life.
I wander through life full of a lot of...feelings. Dark feelings. Mostly because I don't relate well to people in general which has everything to do with my strange, exuberant personality. I'm a full-fledged extrovert. Rarely am I afraid to talk to someone or enterain a new relationship/friendship. But mostly these goals are not the goals of most people that I meet. So, I remain alone...forever and always alone, in my head, my heart, and house.
Don't let me fool you either. Periodically this place is simply a depository for my most dramatic inner monologues which verge on drastic, but I'm not that close to it.
Music is a constant in my life. Albeit, that I can neither write nor read music, I must surround myself with it. But not all music, just music which resonates with me. I'm a decent singer but I'm completely self-taught. I'm also the lead singer for a band my classmates and I formed for a talent show. Tenatively, we will perform at some bars here in the Big O. Music for me is catharsis, I listen to things darker than light in order draw out the wellspring of darkness inside of me.
My life long aspiration is to become a neurosurgeon. After that? I think I'd like to travel abroad and donate some of my time to working in the Third World. I had the good fortune to travel to India and volunteer with the Sisters of Charity in Kolkata, see the Taj Mahal, and drink Kingfisher beer. I had an amazing time there, truly eye-opening.
Until that day arrives, I go to Creighton University Medical School. I'm almost half-way through, Praise God! It absorbs all of my time and energy in the same way that a black hole devours the fabric of space-time.
Most of my entries are candid and public. I don't often like to hide myself. I have little to hide. So, there you have it. Exploit it, use it, do whatever, I don't give a fuck.
In the spirit of my now languishing undergraduate degree, I'll break you off one of my favorite Latin quotes:
Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero!
Pluck the day; do not expect anything from tomorrow!
(Horatius, Carmina)
