I've hit a rough patch at work.

I don't need vibes or anything. But if you're a friend, please chime in and say 'hi'.

Thank you...



I love you all...

Annoyed by long wait-times at the clinic?

Me too!

I can't help noticing, however, that the patients who complain the loudest are also usually the ones who insist on giving me the James Michener-version of their History of Present Illness.

Just give me the bullet-points. I don't need to know the color of your first car, or who your next-door neighbor's cousin married.

Believe me, I'd love to slow down and have a friendly chat. It's just not possible. Not when there are other exam rooms full of patients checking their watches and tapping their feet impatiently.

Clinic starts in twelve minutes...

Have a good day, everybody!

I'm nicely blitzed on some Belgian ale.

I love you all...



I'm an affectionate drunk...

I would like to apologize.

I posted a reply to a thread yesterday. It was referring to a popular biker slogan, and I adapted it to the subject matter of the thread. It contained an inflammatory word. I was wrong to use that word, and I apologize.

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
