I HATE DENTAL CHECKUP!

In another 2 hours, I will go to the dentist and do my dental check up.
Yes.. Dental check up...

*trying to suppress all those unpleasant moments*

Seriously, I hate dentist and I HATE ALL THOSE DENTAL INSTRUMENTS including laryngeal mirror, dental scaler, forcep collins and I-don't-know.

Besides the instruments, I hate the smell of the dental room. It smells like latex or rubber or.... well, I seriously don't know. What I know is, the smell really lurch my stomach whenever I step in the room.

Seriously, they should consider using Ambi pur to replace all those scary smell.

Besides, they should really consider using aroma theraphy in the room in order to reduce the stress and scary feeling in the patient. I believe using the right essential oil will really help. Hey, doctors, do consider these idea will you?

SPECIAL NOTES:
Mac and Kelvin, I know you guys are reading this. Jot this down! By the way, I don't hate you..... yet. Lol..
:)

Well, I admit that I am nervous right now. There will be another 2 hours before the freky appointment. I know I shouldn't skip it as I can't bear any further attack and damage on my pearly white teeth by those mean bacteria and viruses. I don't own a set of good teeth but I am determined to take good care of them as I am having this eater archetype. I can't imagine my late adulthood period without any teeth.

Ehhwwww.... That will be a disaster!

>.<

Ok then. I shall prepare myself and I know I can do this. Let me just do a few positive self-talk practices before the last two hours (positive self-talk will turn your fear into energy):

Curryegg:

"It won't hurt"
"It is fun"
"The room smell good"
"And the dentist is cute"

Sadly, he is an old man. Sigh.....

Talking About God and Science

An anonymous man once impressed this image upon my mind:

I was doing one of these things awhile back and there was this guy in the room with a huge chip on his shoulder as soon as I said the word ‘God.’ This guy was huge, almost seven feet tall and arms like a gorilla. He told me there wasn’t no such thing as God and on top of that since nobody in the room could do a damn thing about him that he was God as far as it mattered. So I put a challenge to him. I emptied out a dresser, moved it out into the center of the room, and had everyone help me fill the bottom drawer with all the training weights we could. Then I told him to lift it up high. He struggled and moved it around more than I thought he would. But he couldn’t get it off the ground. Then we had everyone in the room, with him, try and lift the dresser. It came up from the floor so easily we almost hurt ourselves, surprised at our mutual strength. When we all sat down again after replacing the dresser and the weights he asked me what was the point. I told him that when he walked in that door today he thought he was God and now he can see that some things are outside his power. The God in everyone else with himself included was stronger than he could ever hope to be alone. So he was not God. But God was still present in the room, between all of us and stronger than any of us.
-
If you change the physical nature of this image of the huge man proclaiming himself “God” for a more intellectual design, one might evoke an image of a high-brow scholar scribbling out a formula that disproves the existence of God.

This is my impression of many atheists, and certain agonistics, I encounter. It seems to me that many have ‘thought God out of existence’ in the course of earnest and worthwhile studies. To my perception all science, and the nature of all knowledge itself, provides us with a constant ’unknown.’ Even in the absence of any religious background there is more than enough room for an understanding of the universe and life beyond simple reasoning’s of black-and-white logic.

While science shatters dogma and begs the eternal question simultaneously, it still does not negate the concept of a higher power.

Mormons ?

- We are taught cleanliness inwardly and outwardly with the practice of good manners and respect to one and all.

- We are taught that the family is the backbone of society and that our children must be reared to the highest morals and training to perfect our society.

- We are taught to eat and prepare the best of food for the longevity of life, without the use of alcohol, smoking and substance abuse which endangers the ethics of healthy living.

- We are taught to respect and protect our women who are the mothers of our civilization.

- Our women are taught to a dress code of modesty that will lead to the practice of high morality.
- We are taught to be an exemplary community expressing the highest spiritual goals for the reform of ourselves and others based on wisdom, knowledge and beauty.

Mormons?

Nope... NOI.

Have A Drink

Here you go FreeMan - have a Strong Island Tea.
Here you go brohammas - have some pineapple and cranberry juice.
RunningMom - sit back and have a Margarita.

The thing about these blogs is that it's like having people over for drinks and dinner.
Most are written in the way people speak (without regard for grammar or punctuation), a few are more deliberate and didactic.
But most share the common trait of being a vehicle to provide normally disparate people a place to interact.

I read the comment "I like your spot - I can curse here but not at my blog" on another site.
But that is disrespectful.
People go to New Orleans to have fun - but to leave a mess behind.
Most people act in a way that they wouldn't in their own home or their own environment.

So FreeMan and brohammas,
Sit back and have a drink and realize how similar your social beliefs are.
(See above post.)

As Long As It's Not Kobe

Sorry Lebron...

Gay Is NOT The New Black

Q: Why are so many Black preachers speaking out against support for Same-Sex marriage?
A: The imagery is wrong.

Even though some of these same preachers are are the biggest hoes in town - Gay is still taboo.
My next door neighbors likes to brag about being a former Deacon at his church... but in the next breath, he likes to brag that his wife permits him to receive one blow-job a month from a hooker because she won't do it.
Then he tells me that it's even okay for a guy to give him one. (I don't speak to the guy anymore - I think he was trying to hit on me.)

Black is still seen as something fierce,
something strong,
something to be feared.
Black is not seen by Blacks as Gay.

Smart and Black is seen as something less than desirable.

Gay and Black is something to be hidden. (Or something to kill one's self over.)

Feminine and Black is just wrong...

Unless you're Prince.

So why do so many Black preachers speak out against an issue that won't effect their congregation as much as one like extra-marital sex?

(And with a "friendly" choir director to boot?)

Because most Blacks are conservative in their values.

Because many still see themselves as those African warriors - not as Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds.

Maybe That Was A Stretch

So cockfighting was okay as long as it was legal in Louisiana (until mid 2008)?

But dog fighting is wrong because it is illegal?
