Reflections on the journey. Sunday, August 24, 2014. The White Coat Brigade. I thought, may as well have Dirty Harry guarding it. I started to drive past when the lights came on.

Reflections on the journey. Thursday, May 22, 2014. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Beauty doesn't ask for attention. Sean O'Connell. This is the story line for the marvelous film, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. 2014), starring Ben Stiller. By day, Mitty is a quiet, unobtrusive supervisor in the photographic negative department of Life. Unable to hook up in Greenland, he follows O'Connell to Iceland, and on to ungoverned Afghanistan in the high Himalayas, where he stumbles upon him, photographing the ...

Reflections on the journey. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Doc Bugs and Me. One ornament has special meaning for me - the one in the photo. I picked up Doc Bugs, as I call him, in a little out of the way place called The Spruce House. Well, Bugs Bunny and I go way back. Tall, wise-cracking, with.

The Beggar's Blog: Narcissist or Antisocial?
http://thebeggarsblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/narcissist-or-antisocial.html
Reflections on the journey. Sunday, May 18, 2014. Following-up on my last post, " Mirror, Mirror. That they find interesting. Narcissists want you. And that's why they are so appealing. All three types are inclined to excuse their behavior on various grounds and criticize their victims for any negative consequences. Instead of internalizing blame and feeling guilty or ashamed, like most of us, they externalize these feelings and try to make it sound as though you're the one with the problem. Tech...View ...

The Beggar's Blog: Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall
http://thebeggarsblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/mirror-mirror-on-wall.html
Reflections on the journey. Thursday, May 15, 2014. Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall. Bond: "You're cleverer than you look.". Q: "Mm, still, better than looking cleverer than you are." Die Another Day. 2013) I like that best of all: Bond is capable of empathy, he is not a narcissist. He hasn't got time for such nonsense; a narcissist has nothing but time for it. Is the way we sidestep being reduced to the level of "things" and retain our humanity. Trust me, this is definitely worth the effort. By W Lynn Smith...

The Beggar's Blog: Surviving Board Exams
http://thebeggarsblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/surviving-board-exams.html
Reflections on the journey. Thursday, July 22, 2010. Now comes the waiting. For reasons that baffle me, practice question sites, such as the one I used and highly recommend to any readers who are osteopathic medical students ( Combank. Are able to process exam scores immediately while boards require two-three weeks. To paraphrase Thomas Paine, these are the times that try medical student souls. Even the best of us (and I don't mean me) come away with a measure of uncertainty about the outcome. Narcissism...

The Beggar's Blog: Warm Days and Woodchucks
http://thebeggarsblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/warm-days-and-woodchucks.html
Reflections on the journey. Sunday, June 1, 2014. Warm Days and Woodchucks. I hate moving. I used to think I was good at goodbyes, but you want to know the truth? Suck at it. It doesn't matter whether there's a really good reason for riding into the sunset, I still find reasons for wanting to stick around long past closing time. Days I couldn't wait to resign my job in Colorado turned into days I loved it, even though I was leaving for medical school at last. Posted by Bill Conway. Subscribe in a reader.

The Beggar's Blog: Narcissism: Unmasking the Victim
http://thebeggarsblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/narcissism-unmasking-victim.html
Reflections on the journey. Friday, April 9, 2010. Narcissism: Unmasking the Victim. When talking about narcissism and relationships, one question that almost always comes up is, what kind of person would choose to become involved with a narcissist? The narcissist's regularly repeated declarations of affection, however, are what is called " love-bombing. It's one of many techniques employed by narcissists to weaken and break down a potential partner's defenses, rendering them emotionally receptive. B...

The Beggar's Blog: March 2014
http://thebeggarsblog.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Reflections on the journey. Saturday, March 29, 2014. Like Walking on Water. Walking on water is easy; it's when the waves turn into giants that things get sticky. Beggar. That image has been running through my mind almost daily, the past few weeks. Walking on water, trying to "keep the faith" when all around the waves are lapping and a glance at my feet tells me I'm going under. Walking on water is precisely what seeking a residency position has felt like, walking on water without a life-jacket. The thi...
