My Teef Hurt

Holy Lord did my mouth hurt after getting my 4 wisdom teeth pulled. After time traveling with the anesthetic, and the Novocaine wearing off, I experienced a pain like none other in my life. Actually, I think it was just the shock after the entire procedure was over.
In any case, it made eating a really trying ordeal. Frustrating to say the least. I'm almost at the point where I can eat normally, but it still hurts.
It's over and done with so I can keep moving forward.

Happy Birthday!

Well happy birthday to me. Awesome. Just Awesome. 26 and still going strong. I look forward to every year with renewed optimism as to what life may bring. Driving home from work, I caught myself smiling just thinking about my birthday.
It's different than when I was a kid, eagerly waiting my presents. I smile because I can't wait to see where I'm going and where I'll end up. Every year of my life is better than the last and I can feel this will continue until the end.
With all that's recently happened (the flood, VA Tech shootings) it's difficult to remain optimistic. So many negative things occurring simultaneous is hard to absorb. What can you do except work on your own circle of influence. You can't control the weather, and you can't control what others, but you can live, be, and do.
