What a FUCKED up weekend. I just got home a few hours ago, to find out my car was broken into while I was gone (someone tried to hotwire it) and fucked up the entire steering column in the process. I'm in the middle of buying a new car , but as of now I have neither a new car or my old one. Now I have to ride a fucking bike to my class on Wednesday and it takes 20 mins. by car, not to mention it's in the upper 90's at the moment. I haven't had to ride a bike to work/school since I was in 11th Grade. This should be interesting. Fun Fun Fun.

On a lighter note... I got some good news this past week. I don't want to jinx anything... but it looks like I might be a part of a new company called NeoStem based in Los Angeles. They specialize in "autologous" (meaning derived from the same individual) stem cell research. This could be a wonderful opportunity to be a part of something that will help many people overcome debilitaing or life threatening diseases in the future. It's such an exciting and interesting field. The basic premise is this... you bank your own healthy stem cells for future use. They can be used to treat heart disease, stroke, cancer, mental illness, even regeneration of damaged organs due to disease or trauma. There is even the possibility of slowing down the ageing process in general. This is going to revolutionize medical research as we know it. Very exciting!!
