Frequently Asked Questions... well, Questions

The following are a list of questions I'm frequently asked, and by frequently, I mean once by my girlfriend over dinner when I told her I was starting a blog.

Q) What is an "epoché?"

A) Epoché is a philosophical term that describes a state in which all notions of reality are momentarily suspended to allow complete introspection. In this state, one can development a framework with which to analyze existence.

It is also a type of Greek danish.

Q) You should change the name.

A) Thats not a question.

Q) Who is this blog for?

A) Namely people interested in science and/or medicine. I'm currently working as a research assistant and about to head into my first year of medical school, so I'm hoping to share some interesting experiences I'm exposed to along the way.

Q) Do you have any pictures of dogs spooning cats?

A) Yes. Yes I do.




Q) Why are you doing this?

A) I had too much caffeine one day at work. Also, it gives me the opportunity to use the phase "I can't wait to blog about this!" in public. I'll be working on my HTML, so that with enough hard work and creativity, I can make it as tacky as your cousin's MySpace page.

Q) In an age where blogging has become as commonplace as mass advertisement, isn't a personal blog just a narcisistic self-indulgence of an already played-out media?

A) You misspelled narcissistic.

Q) Sorry.

A) Thats okay.
