Welcome Back Workout

It's already been 2 full weeks of classes, 1st full week of practice... Things are going well so far, just extremely busy, you know how that is, I have barely been on here, let alone the internet, i'm rarely on now days unless it's to print off notes or something. I miss being online a lot though, hehe.
Well today we had a welcome back workout, it was a good time, but i'm very sore so I was just stopping by. Hope all is well for you. Tomorrow is another long day, fundraiser from 9-1, reception w/ UT president at 4, then first home football game at 7 and then a good night to follow :) later on

Don't Rile up, dial up Dr. Weil (up)

Ok that's a lame title, but it was fun creating it.
Anyway, I was reading my brother's post on cardio exercise. And there you will quickly find a link that goes to Dr. Weil's homepage. I just briefly browsed the website earlier. I have been to the website before, and again I think it is a great website for the health conscious person.

Dr. Weil practices Integrative medicine, which can be briefly defined as, "Integrative Medicine is healing-oriented medicine that exists to serve the needs of patients by bringing together the best of conventional and complementary therapies."

This profession sounds very intersting and worth learning about more. Recently I have been reading a lot about "Medicine" whether it be articles, med schools, residencies, professions, anything! I have really been reading about the differences between an M.D. (doctor of medicine) and a D.O. (doctor of osteopathy). I have recently been oscillating between the two choices. D.O. sounds really cool, brief description here. Please check it out! Anywho, it sounds very interesting. It seems like Integrative Medicine (dr. weil) is more closely related to D.O. But I am still learning about the differences in each, so I don't really know for sure.

"Imagine a world in which medicine was oriented toward healing rather than disease, where doctors believed in the natural healing capacity of human beings and emphasized prevention above treatment. In such a world doctors and patients would be partners working toward the same ends."
~ Andrew Weil, MD

If you know information about Dr. Weil, like where he went to med school, and residency, and additional training and that stuff, please leave a comment about it because I would love to know And if you just have thoughts or comments on recent health/medical issues.

Let's Go!

So summer '07 is finally coming to an end. We finally purchased the bulk of our furniture, which has put me in a very good mood. We are trying to buy minimum but still came to a pricey amount. All I have to do now is call the apt. on Mon to confirm are room availability to move in on Fri.

Tomorrow, I am doing one last round with my tennis students: I'll have them come out and play for awhile then I am treating them to cici's pizza (cheap pizza buffet) and just get to talk with them a last time before leaving.
Monday, [hopefully] last therapy session.
Tuesday, Hair cut and the furniture is being delivered home.
Wednesday, Last minute packing.
Thursday, ATP tourney in Cinci
Friday, TOL
There's a brief description of my week, you can see how fast things are moving; but I am very excited to get moved in and relax in the new couch :)

Don't Worry, Be Happy!

Random Media Talk

Silversun Pickups, introduced to me by Jay, is a very cool band. I have no idea how to classify music these days, so help is needed here. But when I first heard them from a cd in the car, I did not like them; As I kept driving, I kept hearing them, and they grew on me quickly. I like when Jay introduces me to new music because he listens to so much music that I have never heard before. I am stuck jamming to the radio and he listens to bands I have never heard of. It's funny though, Jay will make a cd, put in car, I hate the music, and like 2 days later I'm asking him for more :)
Favorite songs by Silversun Pickups: Lazy Eye, Rusted Wheel, and Little Lovers So Polite.
Another cool band is Julianna Theory, once again, I don't know the genre...?

Oh, while on music, check this song out, It's from a clorox commercial, but it's simply awesome and I like to turn the volume up way loud and jam to it :)

I once read this chain letter type thing, and it was going around asking people to sign there name and write the title of the song that they were listening to and add in bed to the end, and then send it to whoever. Ever since reading it, I sometimes find myself adding in bed to titles, and laughing about it...

Linkin Park - What I've Done in bed
Five for Fighting - Easy Tonight in bed
Nelly Furtado - Why Do All Good Things Come to an End in bed
haha the list goes on, have fun :P
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't wait for the Bourne Ultimatum to come out. I really enjoy the series and I have a feeling the 3rd one will kick ass.

300 is available in stores now, I might just go scoop that up and check out the extra footage and see if they have included the "300 diet and strength program." :P

Okay!
"TAKE LUCK CARE...GOOD
YOU TOO!!"

-Brian Regan, A very funny comedian, "idiot," "so stupid," "hilarious," are words that come to mind when I see him or hear his voice.

Stop complaining, but but but...

Do you ever have one of those days where you could complain about things wrong with your body/health, and then get it checked out, and there is really something wrong with you?
yeah, neither do I.
But, I do have days where things just seem wrong with my body. Whether it be a skin rash, headache, or symptoms of a cold, it's very bothersome and I find myself complaining (not to people, just to myself). I won't go in to detail with my "little" troubles, but sometimes I find myself asking if I should get whatever problem checked out, especially if some days they start adding up to be really bothersome, ehh.

I wonder if some people have no problems at all, or if some people do have problems just don't bother complain about it, or have multiple troubles and do something about it, like seeing a doctor or if some just wait it out thinking it's nothing; And what are the results of each situation.

Hmm I just wish there would be a day where everything about my body/health were in complete harmony and I wouldn't have a reason to complain or think about complaining...

ahh the little things that bother us.
