So today is one of those days where I just wanted to pull the sheets up over my head and stay in bed.  Nevertheless, rounds start at 7:30 sharp so I ousted myself out of the bed in my sleepy daze.  The water was hot in the shower, a little too hot for Captain Winky though who let me know real fast by sending a burning pain up through the rest of my body :(  At least I was awake then!   Murphy’s law I guess.   I dashed out of the shower, shaved, put on my scrubs and made a mad dash to the hospital.  And now, here I sit, in between patients…working on my carpal tunnel syndrome by writing this entry

A guy just walked by and held up his urine sample and asked “Is this enough?”  Of course I nodded seeing the liquid gold in the bottom of the container.  Maybe that is why I want to go into Urology…pee doesn’t bother me (Hey that rhymed!)

My newest project is going along nicely.  It’s making what we call “Virtual Real Estate” websites, commonly called “VRE” for short.  The basic jist is that you build websites based around a niche theme and then post articles about your topic.  You then integrate Google Adsense ads into your articles and generate revenue.  I have to admit though, I have this negative vibe towards advertising on pages…but you know, lately I’ve come around.  Especially after this morning…   I watched Dr. Remines search for a new spin-milled sand wedge on the internet.  He probably clicked 3 out of 5 sponsored links on the pages he visited, just because they appealed to him.  It took me awhile to realize that THIS is how the average person surfs the internet…and I am *not* the average person.   So my project has been coming along nicely.  I’m trying to get my dad started with it but he hasn’t done much yet.   But it is a viable way to make some residual income (that is passive income that you earn on a monthly basis with little work) if you don’t want to sell a product on the side thru Multi-level marketing.  I think it is much more appealing for most folks who are looking for a way to generate residual income with under a 10 dollar investment.  Anyway, I am using a program to automate some of the website building.  It’s called HyperVRE.  I’d write more here about HyperVRE but I already wrote an article on brokemedicalstudents.com.  You can check it out here.

So, Patty has been busy buying up every bridal magazine ever made, looking at wedding stuff.  I am getting jazzed about getting to shop for our gift registry.  I hear they give you one of those barcode scanner guns and let you go nuts.  Here is a short list of what I wish I could zap:

- a 50″ plasma TV (as if 42″ isn’t enough)
- Stainless Steel BBQ grille with bun warmer
- 1000 Thread Count Sheets
- One of those weather station things for your house
- 2 portable dog carriers
- Cool looking china with golf embossing
- A new set Golf clubs
- A ez-boy recliner
- One of those $2000 massage chairs.

Well, I could keep brainstorming here BUT, I need to go see another patient so mind and body strong grasshoppers!
