For me it would be the rings or the balance beam. I'd find a way to hang myself on the rings and break my neck by falling off the beam.

1.5 Years Later and I Still Like My Job
Here's something I've never had happen before, someone tried to recruit me. St. Francis' scope tech is leaving and they called me at work today to see if I'd be interested in joining their team. I quickly weighed the pros and cons in my head. Cons: Longer hours. Weekend shifts. Lower pay. Drug reps don't bring lunches. Pros:......
Yeah, thank you no. Still, it was nice to discover my name is out there with other offices.
Saturday I passed a certification course in Sterile Processing and Flexible Endoscope Re-processing. I get a certificate, a little gold endoscope pin and hopefully more money. I also have several doors opened to me now. With the certification I can land a job pretty much anywhere in the U.S. Johns Hopkins is hiring. Also a clinic in Seattle. Not that I want to move, but the option is nice.
So yeah, I still like my job.
T.M.I.

What?!
"in the 21st century nations don't invade other nations."
Give me a reason to vote for this guy.
No More Head
Can I just say how much I hate the Olympics? Two weeks ago I could give two shits about the games. Now, thanks to NBC's packaging and production, I can't not watch. It's the little documentaries and profiles they do on the athletes before the competition that hook me.
"Jean-Pierre was born without nasal passages and was told at an early age he would never be able to compete in world class handball. His mother was viscously trampled down by a disgruntled group of mimes when he was 8, leaving him to raise himself in a home where his father was constantly high on model airplane glue. Now, at age 22, Jean-Pierre is here in Beijing proving all the doubters wrong and going for the gold."
How can I not watch that handball match?!
Yeah, handball is an Olympic event. Look it up. Saturday Andia didn't believe me that trampoline was an event either. Then I had to show here the proof.
Then there's Michael Phelps. Andia has a crush on the guy. Partly because he shares her maiden name, partly because the guy is awesome. Nothing is better than some smart-mouthed Frenchy talking smack, only to be put in his place by watching the Americans swim past you and onto the gold medal podium.
Oh, and those Chinese gymnasts are not 16. There's just now way. Chris Hansen should be a celebrity judge for their events.
My two cents and now Murray is pushed down the page.

Mid Week Quick Hits
It's Like They're Cursed!
Andia and I received two movie passes to the AMC when our screening of Hancock broke. A couple of days later mom gave me two AMC gift cards that she knew she would never use. Since then there hasn't been one movie at the damn AMC that I want to see. Wall-E, Dark Knight and now Pineapple Express have failed to be shown. What good are these free tickets?!

Meanwhile, Back in Tampa
The only reason I want #4 going to Tampa is because it will guarantee national television coverage of a couple of Buccaneers games. I had to wait until the playoffs to watch the Bucs play last season. It's sad that one of the greatest players in the game has been reduced to a laughing stock.
Political Funny
Did anyone see the coverage of John McCain's appearance at Sturgis? The guy read from a prepared speech that had him offer up his wife to participate in the Ms. Buffalo Chip Contest. This is a pagent that has women strip naked from bikinis and felacio a banana on stage.
