Never forget your past

160 minutes daily exercise will end this day. The day before Medical Physics - the start of Medical School. Since the trip to Indonesia, I have real hard to indulge myself to unnecessary things - spoil myself, cause we are so spoiled in this part of the world, taking so much for granted. That's why it's feels so wrong to go to the cinema. However, I will head down to Acropolis - the mall, to see a movie, feel the neurotransmitters from my training and to relax for an hour or two. However it feels wrong, so wrong. But I know why I'm going in to medicine from the beginning - never forget my past, and to make a difference for man kind - that's a promise..Enjoy your evening. Yours truly, Andy....

 

 

Love the challenge

Soon the dark period of the northern hemisphere will embrace the small town of Kaunas - winter time, will come and the air will be enriched by oxygen and cold air can travel throw the Trachea and Bronchial tree for the perfect gas exchange in the alveolar sac and Capillaries. My long time plan to increase the cardiovascular performance for the big event further on - will have the perfect environment, as in Medical School. Cause there will be a lot of "resting time" - reading and to master the awareness of my own physical endurance. When the Cerebral hemisphere will rest from the intense input of information. I can enjoy my own vessel of performance in the amazingly forest of Kaunas. For now I feel the energy from the high speed running this morning, is back. So let's run towards the forest. Remember: You are capable of anything. You can be the best of the best - It's up to yourself. So just do it!

Your sincerely Anders

 

The black cube

An endless source of medical information is stored, within this blockade of glass and steel - so I heard, lets find out!

Rising

In the 1400 century, the Lithuanian expansions reached the black sea - the peak of there greatness. At the same time Poland and Lithuania made an union. Due to the exceptional manpower from Poland, the modest size of Lithuania and it's inhabitants, they were displaced by Poland. Many hundred years later on in the 1800 century, the Swedes lead by Gustaf X were fighting Poland and made an alliance to Lithuania - for a short period of time - which we all know of in Scandinavia - If we were awake on the history lessons. After the retreat of the Swedes the results were as follows: The Lithuanian people were in the hands of the Russians, but the people of the small country on the Baltic seaboard there were fighting the Russians, the Lithuanian people wanted to be on there own - as all the other people of the worlds nations. It went on and of for many years. The Russians were next door and the country of Lithuania was a small and easy target for the big power of Russia.

In the middle of the 2000 century  in the year -41 to -44 the Nazis were here for a short period of time - forcing the Russians to leave the country. When the second world war was over. The long occupation for over 50 years, took place by the Russians. Later on when the US won the cold war and the Russians have to rebuild the there own nation, due to an economic depression. The remnants from the great Russian dominance for over  half a century are still here, in old building - architecture from the past. It is an admirable city on it's way to rise again. The history often repeats it self over and over again as in the fact of history - that small nations easily can be used by greater powers as stepping stone to conquer more land and to reach bigger nations. This the country and it's residents. Is on it's way to strengthen and rise, in the way as a small nation - in the name of capitalism and structure.Cause we have real strong small nations as Switzerland, Norway and Monaco in Europe due to stable economic. So now it's time for Lithuania to succeed. In many ways I, recognize myself; in a short period of time, 7 years in comparison to the history of a hole country - metaphorical speaking. From the car accident witch resulted in "acute subdural hematoma"- mortality rate 60-80% (a bleeding in the brain) the 26'th of September 2004. Just 7 years ago, I had to start all over again to learn the balance - keep the equilibrium and to interact with other homo sapiens, from a drooling hospitalized cretin with no balance. I remember the feeling of trying to cross a ditch, it was Grand Canyon in my world. But i knew, I will never give up, rather the opposite. Do it faster than the doctors council. The physical abilities was easy, however, the mental part as cognitive, memory and logical skill took a long time to heal.

In a small way - metaphorical speaking, I have a lot in common with Lithuania. On my way to rise again, much stronger and wiser of life experience to seize the day, every day.. Cause I'm convinced that "The pen is mightier than the sword" coined by Edward Bulwer -Lytton in 1839. That's why I have a "feeding frenzy" in litterature and cardiovascular training, due the amount of reading, I need to take care of my body - the life is to short for doing nothing, and for mishandling the body. I don't drink alcohol (except a beer to relax) or caffeine containing beverages, tries to keep a nutritious and regular intake of food.Since the accident, I can not stay still and do "nothing" instructive. I live the day as it's my last, just 100% in everything - meaning, doing the best I can. Sometimes I overachieve - in good as well as bad, however, I always learn from the wrong doings, trust me it happens a lot, I am not the favorite person in my old entourage, cause I can be perceived as very swift in my actions - cause I don not "waste time". So sitting here in the country of Lithuania Starting Med-School tomorrow at 1130. In the name of overachieving myself: from acute Subdural Hematoma (SDH) to become a neurosurgeon - how hard it can be? Only time will tell and I won't back down,  only the horizontal way with cardiac arrest can stop me. Only success matters. Cause I want to help other people in the same way medicine helped me - neurosurgery - in the name of altruism.

The journey towards the dark side

 

Riveting

The amazing view from Besakih Temple of Bali - preferable known as the mother temple of Bali. Definitive the most memorable trip of my life, affects my personal growth in the spiritual and mental part - Mom I on the top of the world! Just 12 years of hard studying, between me and the big academic goal of becoming a surgeon. Time, is insignificant and just a measurement for the race of life, in the name of altruism.

Power of nature

The power of water; 1 m3 weighs a ton, the board snapped in two pieces in a nano second. Regarding my self, it was just some saltwater in the nasal cavity and back on the horse again. I feel so at home in the water, just love ocean, nevertheless I'm better in and under the water. To ride on the water, I need much more practice and time for training, however the time I spent on the camp was so fulfilling in both informational classes, movies and practice out in the breaks. I learned a lot from this camp
