suffe(red)

now this is meant for those cons who told me that extracting ur wisdom teeth was one of the smartest things to do in the army.

ten reasons why you should extract your teeth

1. where else in the world can you find excruciating pain, and a doctor who knows that you're going through pain but asks you every 2 mins throughout the surgery whether it hurts?

2.ohh, so now red is the new in thing. spitting out red bits at intervals of 30seconds for the next 10 hrs will show how devoted i am to the motorola RED cause.

3.well last i saw in the mirror, it seems the doctor managed to stuff a tennis ball into my mouth.

4. oh wells, maybe one would think, all the better to eat with. BUT NO, god forbids me to eat. so i live off a supply of plain mashed up white porridge which i cant even chew but i have to gurgle down in some animal like fashion.

5. so you are entitled to a 6 day mc, of which according to the pamphlet during the duration of half your mc, the function of my mouth will be deemed useless for the next 3 days. and i will be rolling about my sheets, gurgling in pain because i cant even pronounce the word ouch.

6.now have your ever imagined seeing someone head to your mouth with an electric drill and huge pliers? its like that nightmare about the evil dentist, just that it happens - real time.

7.you get sympathetic/pitiful/condescending/disgusted looks on faces of people who see you in your pathetic plight. think; mouth slightly ajar, big right cheek, and with red drool lingering on his lips.

8.i have officially exhausted about 10 trees worth of tissue paper in the short span of a few hours. aint that a record for fastest environmental destruction without even trying?

9.you get nurses who chuckle at your plight. quote: "you use the tissue paper and drool everything you can into it. if you cant drool into it, then just swallow all the blood and bits of your mouth la."

10.i spend 400 bucks that belongs to the saf. well, in the doctor's words: it's never been a problem, has it?

the salutation to love found in stars.

of late, i have been indulging in excessive atlas shrugged(by ayn rand). and despite it being obnoxiously lengthy, its been an amazing experience.

excerpt;
"...if I answered that real devotion consists of being willing to lie, cheat and fake in order to make another person happy - to create for him the reality he wants, if he doesn't like the one that exists...It's really very simple. If you tell a beautiful woman that she is beautiful, what have you given her? It's no more than a fact and it has cost you nothing. But if you tell an ugly woman that she is beautiful, you offer to her the great homage of corrupting the concept of beauty. To love a woman for her virtues is meaningless. She's earned it, it's a payment, not a gift. But to love her for her vices is a real gift, unearned and undeserved. To love her for her vices is to defile all virtue for her sake - and that is a real tribute of love because you sacrifice your conscience, your reason, your integrity and your invaluable self esteem..." -ayn rand

for some reason, when i first read this, it gave me the philadelphic love kind of feel. then again, i'm sure it works in more ways than one.
