My Dull Life: A Dental Horror Story
Published: March 03, 2010
I am quite literally numb as I type this. The entire left side of my face, from nostril to jawline, is incapable of feeling pain…or pleasure for that matter. I feel as though the CIA should use my temporary invincibility for some black op, but they could probably just numb up one of their agents if they really need to.
I am in this dental chair to rid myself of a month long tooth ache which has been caused by the root of my one crowned tooth rubbing against something that dentists call a “nerve.” Naturally I have no idea what that means, nor am I interested in learning. I also don’t care about how my car gets fixed, why my television is broken or really about too many aspects of my job. That last one is kind of bad, but my point is that I just want the clock to tell me the time; I don’t need to hear its back-story.
You know the old blog post topic about how the word “douchebag” has jumped the shark, and we need to stop using it and/or come up with a substitute? Well that topic has jumped the shark, and it’s time to stop writing about it.
I’m not submitting this because I want to fuel the attacks on PsyDBob and God knows that Wrap and I have our differences, but this comment was plain outstanding:
I am now eating olives and am considering raiding the Fresco Asiago cheese I bought earlier tonight. [Me: I gave in.] Being unemployed does have its advantages, you know, in that one can begin a movie at 3:30 a.m. and doesn’t have to stir before, say, 2:30 p.m. However, let’s be sure to reconnect the next time you get paid, and I might a different point-of-view.

It’s raining here. Torrential. Midnight has already gone and somehow that fits. I’m sitting here, smoking at my desk, thinking about the past – all our pasts – how we got to be here in all our versions of the present. I cried a bit. Big man tears. They ended. I lit another cigarette.
Hi everyone. This is just a quick and earnest post to let all of you know that feeding “Blue Buffalo” brand dog food to your puppies is quite possibly the equivalent of feeding them poison.
