In the Beginning
Tahlmorrha...fate...destiny...kismet. For those well versed in Fantasy, this is a term created by Jennifer Roberson in her Chronicles of the Cheysuli. I, admittedly, am not the most religious person on the planet, but I always liked the way that quote sounded. It was suggested that I move my random musings from Xanga to Blogspot, on account of a friend that has an account here. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I suppose that it will be interesting to find out. One thing of note, though, Xanga tends to be populated by a disturbing amount of people in high school. I know I'm going to date myself...but when I was in high school, we barely had 28.8K modem access, let alone programs that coded HTML for you.
Anyhow, it's been a strange road so far. I suppose that everyone's first post on a new place chronicles who they are, what they are, and why they are. I can answer the first two, the last I leave for the philosphers in the world. My tiny spark of creation was named Darrett Choy on November 29, 1977, which makes me for the non-math afficianados about a quarter of the way through my first century of life. I was bred, born, and educated solely on the island of Oahu, a tiny little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Contrary to the beliefs of some on the contiguous 48 states (known affectionately as the mainland) we are a part of the United States of America (although I'm not sure I'd bandy that around much in the international scene given the somewhat frigid reception Americans might receive now). I recently embarked on an exciting, yet humbling journey known as medicine, as I recently graduated from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa's John A. Burns School of Medicine with my MD. As to what I am? I describe myself as a self-avowed musical freak; in fact at my Senior Lua'u I was one of the "guess which one of your classmates this is" candidate. The opening remarks from the Anatomy Professor were...this one of your classmates always seemed to know everything about any musical I ever mentioned. Fantasy nutcase. Tennis follower. Addicted to my computer. And addicted to the most powerful drug known on the planet, Hope. So welcome to my world.
