Turkey day.....

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general.
I do feel kind a jellos for everybody hwo has the family here with them. For me holidays are not the same anymore. And from this reason even if I am not schedule to work I request that. In consequence I am working at the hospital right now and I decide to write about this on my little break. I am not feeling bad but on the other hand I really miss my family. I've seen them not longer than 4 months ago and I had a very good time then. But when I see friends of mine going at their parents house on the Christmas time or today on Thanksgiving it makes me feel sad not being able to be proud having what they have. Nothing replace this, not even some invitations from some of the people that I know.
Whoever has family here please enjoy this holidays with them and don't forget that not everybody can have this privilege.

P.S Please stay away from eating to much turkey meat. Indigestion's are not a good feeling.

Winter

I would consider winter one of my least favorite seasons. Even though the weather here is very similar with the one I used to know in Romania, I do not really enjoy the cold weather.
The only good aspects that winter has to offer are the holidays. We don`t mind the cold weather as much when we get to spend some time with the family, when we get together to open presents and to have some nice food and cookies. The sad thing is that holidays only last for a couple of weeks and winter lasts for almost five months. During this five months I almost don`t want to get out of bed because it is really cold. When I would like to go out with my friends there aren`t as many options as there used to be in the summer. More than that I hate winter even more because I have to face it every day for almost 9 hours. Topographic Surveyor Technician is one of my those two jobs that I have and this particular one keeps me in the cold for more than half a week. Snow, freezing rain , ice and all the “goodies” that the winter has it makes me thinking of quitting this job many times. Unfortunately I have to sacrifice in order to achieve some of my future goals.
Enough about winter. I hope I didn’t brought bad mood for the people who read this , mood that is already bad because of the freezing outside weather.

Ignorance...

As we all know ignorance is one of the negative parts from a character that we all hate. I've done some research over the internet and I found a reasonable definition of ignorance : Ignorance is lack of knowledge about a thing in a being capable of knowing. We must note that ignorance may precede, accompany, or follow an act of our will. From my point of view we find ignorance like a relief from something that pressure our intellect. We want to be ignorant. It is that a good thing ?
I don't know.
Let's start with a clear example. Today I was at work and it happen to be send out for field work together with a co-worker of mine. I really hate this guy. Being in this company for over 22 year he act like hi is the best and smart and intelligent surveyor from the north east hemisphere. I was trying so many times by now to prove the guy that he is ignorant and he's ignoring every piece of information that somebody else tries to give it to him.
Now my question is : should I use ignorance in order to protect myself from not becoming crazy ? Is this one of the good face of being ignorant ?
I assume everyone experienced this at one point and i would like to find some points of wiew from you.

About food...

I come from a part of the world where food was, it is, and i believe it will be natural for many years from now.
I remember the time when Romania was under the communist regime and people were struggling finding food on the stores. Anyone had relatives on the country side and all the food that they were consuming come from there.
Because my father profession ( veterinarian ) we had the opportunity to own a piece of land about 24 kilometers away from the city. In the early 1989 my family decide to buy a house in that aria and in the same year we all were living there having a huge garden behind the house.
Me and my brother were forced to spend at least 10% from the play time working and helping my mom and dad with work in the garden.
Starting with romaine salad, eggplants , tomatoes, potatoes, strawberry's, and i have to much to list here, we were eating the best you can get.
Because of the religion purposes and food culture reasons I had to eat pork meat, beef, lamb, and everything vegetarians call un-healthy food . There was no such a thing as unhealthy food back then. Animals were feed with natural ground food and in consequence the meet was tasty and healthy. In the present because of desperate need of money every food manufacturer tries to create the taste forgetting about the quality of what we put in our bodies.
And because I don't want to make this so long I would like to remind everyone who read this that BALANCE and EQUILIBRIUM is the key to have a strong and health body and mind.
Don't eat to much , exercise daily, and burn the fat as much as you can before is accumulating and start to destroy our bodies.

PS Can anyone give me an answer to" WHY EVERYTHING THAT TASTE GOOD IS NO HEALTHY"?

Doctor's office...

Why do we go to the hospital ? I think everyone know the answer to this question.
Recently I got the chance to go to the hospital due to some back pain. Besides the fact that I wait for the doctor about one hour and fifteen minutes everything went wrong there. Starting with the nurse assistant which it seem to be bother by my presence there everybody else were like peoples who expect you to be out of there as quickly as possible. The biggest shock that I had there was the professional behavior of the nurse who simply forgot to take my body temperature.
I don't want to make critiques on this but don't we suppose to do that at the first place ? Everything else was correct. Blood pressure, blood collection, and i can continue with so many more. But hold on . Isn't the body temperature one of the most important point in creating a diagnostic ? On the other hand the lady from Radiology was the most pleasant lady I've met recently. She made me fell so comfortable and relax more than I was hope I'd be .Overall it was a bad experience even with the fact that the doctor's office was in Greenwich where anyone expects to find the best medical service in Connecticut.
A piece of advice for all of you: do not go to the doctor, unless some of your friends or relatives recommend one for you.

Spaghetti...

:) . Yes . I start with a smile because I really want to writhe about this.
Not even three hours ago I was trying to be Ratatouille for like 45 minutes ( it is a movie about a mouse who wants to become a great chef ) . So i went to the store to buy whatever was necessary; however, nobody was guessing what I am planning to do.
I enter the store which is just around the corner from were I live. I start looking for pasta , shrimps, bacon , ham , heavy cream , and some other ingredients that I need to complete one of my favorite food. I don't want to skip the red hot pepper crushed. It is one of my preferred spicy ingredients.
Here it comes the funny part. After I finished cooking which was relatively quick I set up the table with all the plates and napkins and everything else. Here it comes : I start eating so fast because everything looked so perfect and I completely forgot about the crushed pepper.
Now I am at the hospital working overnight and I have my stomach all burned because of that.
So, the conclusion is : everything in excess is harmful for our bodies ( at least for myself ).

Changing...

It is very true that we are in a continue process of changing in every moment in our life .
The sad part is that not always the society accept this changes as being something good about you or something that is changed in a positive way. I recently got some messages from one of my good friends of mine from Romania. " Hey ! What happened with you ? No messages, no phone calls , no emails ? I never thought you will change that much in someone ignorant", is exactly what I was blamed for . The truth is : Yes , I become somehow ignorant and this is not because I really wanted but because somehow I lost connection with everybody back home. I am saying this based on the fact that I have to work more than they could imagine and having so many responsibilities on my shoulder is not that easy to spend hours taking on the phone. On the other hand I really don't like to spend just few minutes taking the most boring generalities such as : how is the weather back home and how is my country improving the economic situation. I really like to spend at least thirty minutes talking about families, about important things like life goals or very fine detail's that make USA different from Romania.
I really want to make every single friend of mine to understand that I miss them allot and to make them understand that I am fighting my worst enemy ever : TIME

Events.

In our life we have the chance to pass trough a lot of events one more exciting than another.
One of the event that I want to talk about is my birthday. I was surprised about what happen outside the school that day. Two of my best friends set up the surprise in a way that I never think is possible. I was shocked to see that many eyes pointed at me along with my class singing Happy Birthday. And speaking about my class I consider myself lucky to have so many class mates with such a good characters.
Once again I want to thank to everyone was part of my celebration and to assure each of you that I will return this in the best way possible.
