Thanksgiving...

Well its that wonderful time of the year. The time when holidays come as often as cold mornings and food is as plentiful as the chills that run down your spine. Today is the day that we traditionally call Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has never really been a big deal to me. My family has never had a major tradition involving this day. Well, maybe we did when Mom was alive but I don't really remember. I know I miss her. I know my sister has a hard time around this time of the year. I am sure everybody else deals with it too.

Since there is no tradition for me to miss, I get to forge ahead with my own tradition. I guess that is what you call what me and Resa do. Sometimes we go somewhere (my dads/her parents) and sometimes we stay home and cook ourselves. I like it when we do that. I enjoy the time together and I enjoy knowing that I am doing what my Mom and Dad always did when I was little.

I got the bird cooking.....Resa is cooking the other stuff....so we are on our way to a nice Thanksgiving meal.

I hope all of you out there have a good one and God bless.......

well, it wasn't TOO bad

Well, my visit to the dentist was, well, it was interesting. The dentist told me that we could put some stuff on my two cracked teeth but first we must CLEAN THEM! I was really nervous considering this would be my first time for this dangerous and daring procedure. But I worked up enough courage to proceed with every caution.

First they brought out this motarized instrument and stuck it in my mouth. I must say that it was scary and dangerous, but I hung in there....barely. It was an experience, to say the least. She dug around on my teeth and in my gums, trying to defeat me in the opening round....but I persisted and remained strong. Stronger than her at least. She made my gums bleed and made me feel like she was grinding off my teeth.....but I out did her.

Next she took a sharp instrument and started stabbing me and picking my teeth trying to pry them out so that I would snap. Fortunately, my teeth like my mouth and so they were fighting back. After every attempt to dig my teeth out, she relented and put the sharp harpoon-like instrument back into its case.

Then it was time for the slow killer - a grainy like substance that was supposed to seal the deal. It actually tasted quite good - but I suppose that is to fool its prey. After many unsuccessful atempts.....she finally quit. She sprayed water on my teeth and gave me some potion to keep in my mouth for a whole minute - which I did.

And I am here. Alive. With all the teeth I had before - although the are a new color. If you consider white a color.

Until then....same tooth blog, same tooth time....

Off to the dentist....

Well, I will be leaving in a few minutes to go to the dentist. That's right the dentist. I have two teeth (my two front ones) that are chipped. Not sure what happened but they are there nonetheless. I am hoping this will be quick, cheap, and easy. But we shall see....


I will let you know about my day and things on my mind when I get home tonight....

How I am feeling today...

Not really sure but this is how I am feeling today. A lot of this is feelings that I always have in me....feelings that just won't go away. But this is my post about how I am feeling today....


The misery of my mind state
Filled with so much strife and inner hate
Seeking to find some kind of calm state
This all seems like my eternal fate
I can’t wait
For things to be clearer
Can’t stand the man in the mirror
Tomorrow my only fear
What will I do with all this animosity
It’s killing me
Can’t you see?
But nobody realizes
The struggles haven’t subsided
They never will – so I cry
Reality and fiction collide
News saying I died
Somebody lied.
How long must I endure
I ain’t screaming for more
Just a cure
I feel like I have cancer – deep within
I can’t win
Is this a product of my sin?
I wish I had a friend –
To the end.
