Thots

My mind's all over the place lately. What with trying to get the clinic set up and all. But by the same token, I haven't felt more invigorated or more hopeful at this time than at any time in the past 2 years. I'm finally taking steps to where I want to be!

I realize it's going to be really tough 2 years ahead, but in comparison to the year that I just put behind me, it can't get any worse. I've passed my exams, gotten rid of a very negative aspect of my life (you all know who I mean), I'm living in a city where I want to be...so how could it be worse than this past year?

I know it's going to be tough readjusting to life in Vancouver. Most everybody's moved on with their lives and I'm finding that although my buddies will make the effort to come out and meet with me...they're at that stage in life where they're starting to settle down, get married, and have families. I'm 4 years behind...just graduated, just got out of a serious (even if it was all wrong) relationship and I'm just getting my career started. I'm nowhere near settling down and getting married even if I am feeling the pressure a little bit with everyone around me doing just that...

Being here the last 2 weeks has really shown me something though...as much as I'd like to rely on my friends to be there for me, they won't always be there. I mean, I know you guys will be there if I ever really needed you all to be there, but at the same time, you have your own lives and I have to learn to rely more on myself for the little things at the very least. but I've also learned that it's time for me to make some new friends as well.

It's not that I don't have enough (one can never have enough friends), it's just with everybody at a different stage in life, I need to start finding a group where they are also at the same stage as I am...lol, I'm not going to be meeting any single guys if I keep hanging around a bunch of couples am I?

Anyway, enough of this ramble...I've got a lot of other things to worry about other than my social life...like this clinic I'm trying to get started. I'm going, I'm going already! Cheers!

Overdue post

Well...I guess it's been almost 2 months since my last post. Unfortunately I really have nothing new to report except that I'm hoping to finally move to Vancouver. But in order to do that I'll have to open my own clinic so I'm in the process of researching where I want to be, and stuff like that. So far...I'm opting for the Collingwood area (41st and Dunbar), Kerrisdale, Point Grey or Kitsilano. I guess we'll see...it all depends on what's available and what fits into my budget.

Then there's also the problem of 'naming' the business...I've thought of a few different names although there is some concern over the 'professionalism' of the names. Let me know what you think...so far I've come up with:
1) Amazingly Chiropractic
2) Renewal Chiropractic
3) Paradigm Chiropractic
4) Discover Chiropractic

So far...people have been telling me that it's not quite professional enough. That I should go with a location name or just go with my name. But if i consider going with my name...Lee Chiropractic...it really dosen't grab your attention does it? And I promised myself a long time ago I wouldn't go with a location name...

On to some personal stuff...I finally met a guy. Just met him the other night while I was out clubbing with a few friends...who brough along their friends...who brought along their friends who were visiting Calgary from Vancouver. Suffice it to say, we hit it off that night and I suppose you could say we have a date this tuesday...But other than that...nothing else to report...except that romantic ol' me...I've got my head in the clouds...I must keep reminding myself to keep my feet on the ground...I barely know this guy...and look at me...daydreaming and getting lost on a highway I know like the back of my hand . What to do? I really must get ahold of myself. Been hurt too often as it is...really should take this one slow...and careful since I really don't know anything about him...but...wish me luck!
