A little over a year ago, I embarked on a new journey – one in which I promised myself that I would put my thoughts down on an open forum and allow people to respond to the things that I hold important in life.  It would be a journey of self discovery and putting my personal feelings on a stage for all to see.

A year ago, I moved my blog to wordpress, but more than that I actually told people about it and where to find it.  I committed to ACTUALLY writing.  And I’ve been blown away by the interest and support.  In fact, just today someone told me they were enjoying my posts about Haiti.

In the past year, nearly 32,000 people have viewed the posts here, with over 20,000 of them from the United States alone.  Visitors have left some 240 comments on blog posts that struck a chord with them, not to mention the number of people who simply “liked” a post.  70 people have committed to receiving notifications when a new posted has been penned.

And I just want to say thanks.  Because it’s been encouraging to know that there are people out there who are interested in what I have to say.  I only hope I can bring more content that people will find interesting.  So the hilarious someecards and the ridiculous overheards/overreads will continue with a smattering of posts about medicine, health care, health policy and random tidbits from the news.  And I hope to be able to provide more content about Haiti down the line as well (one last Haiti post to come!).  I’m always looking for inspiration and content, so don’t be shy to leave a comment.  Thanks for viewing.

overheard… in Haiti

I thought it might be a good idea to start my posts about my recent trip to Haiti, many of which will likely have serious undertones, with a little humor and hilarity.  These are some of the crazy ridiculous things overheard last week in Haiti.  If I spoke Creole (which I plan on learning), there would be more.  This was just the English language content.

“Remember that time you swore in front of a nun?”

“You got lost?  When did you turn left, after the 4th cow?”
“Oh see, I took the left at the 5th cow.”
 

“Do you think there’s any irony in the fact that we killed a man and then went to his funeral?”

“I heard blonds go for more money.”
“Um… maybe in East LA they do…”
 

“If you dont have a [car] horn in Haiti, you’re dead.”

“And when I walked back in, they were pushing pins into a red headed doll!”

“a type of fish is…?”
“Poultry!”
 

“Is it a rule that you have to be beautiful if you’re Italian?”

“Do you have a sixth sense for the wifi or does it tell you when it’s back on?”

“Lamaze is a type of what… bread?”

(while playing catch phrase) “Kilts! Mel Gibson! Freedom! Segregation! Heads on sticks!”
“The Patriot?  Lord of the Flies?”

“Why do you make people want to get naked?!”

“Not sure, but people always want to get naked for her…”

“Would it be evil if I said I wanted to let the air out of the waitress’s love handles?”

“Btw your ass is totally rocking those jeans right now.  Not that I want to bang you or anything…”
