Nice...
Had one of those, oh shuck's I forgot about that song and was so pleasantly surprised.
the obvious child- by Paul Simon, it's one of his song's when he had that group of afro-Brazilian dudes behind him railing and destroying drums with strong sounds and Riddem. (read rhythm)
Powerful beat, with soulful folk guitar and soft voice of Paul Simon... (i'm not that big of a fan of paul Simon, he's written a ton, but he has like 10 or so songs, that might be on a top 1,000 songs of all time kinda thing- all right maybe that's not true but I'm trying to give the dude some credit)
"thinking about a girl when i was young
n she said.
This days are true
these songs are ours
these tears are free
they'r crosses in the ballpark
they;r crosses in the ballpark"
well i'm accustomed to a smooth ride...
Anyways...
Nuggets of Freedom spill from the bountiful lands of the Physical Therapy world.
We have hired a second PT....she is pretty awesome from what I can tell, appears to garner significant skill, could be a spitfire self marketer without even trying. all she has to do is race. She was like Miss Oklahoma Runner in 2006- impressive resume, cool with a Rene witherspoon alabama accent.
interviewed in Pig Tails and jeans...
but we ended up chatting all on the floor sitting on theraballs and foam rollers...relaxed.
I can remember back when, I first came to the clinic and I chose to sit on a theraball and could help but think they looked at me then, like we should hire this guy cuz he's relaxed and chill... thought the same about this woman.
Means I should be able to lighten my load a bit, concentrate on some other aspects of PT, learn a lot more, and be able to take a guilt free vacation in December.

Best Ma Tai in Hawaii.
I might have referenced these Ma Tai's previously. At Halekulani, a hotel on the beach on Waikiki. Nice setting, free parking validation, some cool breezes, calmly calculated moves of the nearby hula girl whisper good vibrations. High pitched song echo melodic around a blanket of cashmere. You breathe, you sip, You end up retreating to the Jazz club which the name escapes me. Jazz club of course has strict dress code- so Since I have shorts on and a Legget and Mcall management shirt (yes everyone I still rock that shirt out) we are forced to the veranda.
Some new friends and a bite to eat a few famous Ma Tai all fresh ingredients sharp but nice finish. We end up at a club, dance the night away, I have to drive people home on the other side of life, but it's good, not sleeping I end up at a bar watching the Patriots beat the bills... go to bed, the day was good

Halloween in the city of Turtles
87* and nice as all hell...fitting for a friday Halloween block party. Waikiki and downtown china town each have there own craziness....many many many revelers flock to the crowded streets.
At best, petite asian's wearing scant police officer or devil outfit's. Showing off what becomes of bodies exposed to exercise, sun and good genes, and off course good jeans.
At worst, no that is not a man in costume he really is homeless.
Somewhere in the middle all the Sarah Palin costumes...some looking really really Hot, I'm talking beyond Tina Fey hot. Others looking more on the lines of is Alicia Silverstone after the fall dressed as Sarah Palin?
A few ugly Barack's, I'm talking is that Willie Mcgee.
Great ones, like Count Crotchula from Family guy, he was a big hit with the ladies. Of course storm troopers, much of the Dark side, great like Maverick and Goose from Top Gun, people on stiltz, lots of crazy looking jokers who really freaked me out, interesting looking gothic french 16th century japanese madonna video throw aways. Lot of strange burlesgue, and road warrior/post apocalyptic attire.
Then there was Run DMC... we chose Downtown because on Friday's at Indigo's we have a resident DJ who spins all old school hip hop and R&B, it's like 1980 to 1996 in there it's very fun. And fitting as he took one look at us, and suddenly we hear "who's house. run's house"
We got a lot of people shouting at us, we tried to break dance a bit and stand a lot in our B boy stances, which worked well as well with the Ladies... insert creepy soudning voice here. Ladies...LAAAADDDDIEEEEEZ
Had a great time, paid for it. Paid for it all week. Have been sick like apparently the rest of this island. One more cough just give me one more cough.
Here are some pics and more pics of halloween.
We were Run DMC, with one missing from the original cast, at the clinic I was a celtic player.
All of My friends
I miss all of my friends and family today, not that it isn't a usual occurrence. But today more so, I have worked a ton, devoted a bunch of time to the job and career trying to really get this private practice to flourish which it is.
Here is a list of lyrics from a song by LCD soundsystem called all my friends.
The video follows the lyrics.
this song has saved me many many times on this adventure into the Hawaiian landscape. it's got this interesting building of tempo and emotion. I can remember early on when I just wanted to go home and leave this place, I wanted to give up- but felt I hadn't really given it an honest shot. It was rainy and cold on that day, my rain gear was full on, the sky continued to bleed on me then this song came up through the depths of the Iphone shuffle...and I was lighter on my feet and danced my way home from a long walk from a bus stop it was like an instant message from and back to all my friends and family at once. Passers-by probably wondered If I was part of the inebriated dually diagnosed populace, but me I was just thunderstruck by good emotions, great vibrations. I send them to you...on this November day. Enjoy.
Lyrics to All My Friends :
That's how it starts.
We go back to your house.
We check the charts,
And start to figure it out.
And if it's crowded, all the better,
because we know we're gonna be up late.
But if you're worried about the weather
then you picked the wrong place to stay.
That's how it starts.
And so it starts.
You switch the engine on.
We set controls for the heart of the sun,
one of the ways we show our age.
And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up
and I still don't wanna stagger home.
Then it's the memory of our betters
that are keeping us on our feet.
You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan,
and the next five years trying to be with your friends again.
You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can,
yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend.
It comes apart,
the way it does in bad films.
Except in parts,
when the moral kicks in.
Though when we're running out of the d#$#%
and the conversation's winding away.
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision
for another five years of lies.
You drop the first ten years just as fast as you can,
and the next ten people who are trying to be polite.
When you're blowing eighty-five days in the middle of France,
Yeah, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight?
And to tell the truth.
Oh, this could be the last time.
So here we go,
like a sail's force into the night
And if I made a fool, if I made a fool, if I made a fool
on the road, there's always this.
And if I'm sued into submission,
I can still come home to this.
And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand,
you can sleep on the plane or review what you said.
When you're drunk and the kids look impossibly tan
you think over and over, "hey, I'm finally dead."
Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand,
you can turn it on yourself you ridiculous clown.
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said,
and you always knew you were tired, but then,
where are your friends tonight?
Where are your friends tonight?
Where are your friends tonight?
If I could see all my friends tonight,
If I could see all my friends tonight,
If I could see all my friends tonight,
If I could see all my friends tonight
