i'm not too sure why but the last few trips i've made to the dentist have been white knuckle affairs. going into the office i can feel the tension at the base of my neck. its the strangest thing because i never got freaked out when i was a youngster, even when i got my first two teeth pulled. anyways, i guess you could say that my latest visit was successful, the hygenist said that my teeth were a lot cleaner than they should be for someone who hadn't been in for 18 months. and for the time being, i'm sporting a somewhat flashy smile. there is one thing that stuck with me yesterday as i was walking to the dentists office, why do people brush their teeth before going to the dentist? its not like it makes a big difference. "i never floss but they won't notice because i'll brush my teeth five minutes before my appointment." you're in there to get your teeth cleaned, right? you don't see people wiping down their windows before going to get their cars washed, or drying dirty dishes before putting them in the dish washer? who are these people??!?! ok, i'll stop now.
i had planned on going to a record release party tonight, my grand scheme of seducing dj holly adams of groove radio being employed to the fullest. besides, if dj holly didn't feel my flow, i could always retreat to the bountiful cacophany of booze (did i just say that?) promised by those two magic words that everyone loves to hear, "open bar." that was until i remembered a promise i made to get dinner with my ex. she's my senior by a few years and our split was at least partially based on what she felt was a pressing need to get married. i've got a funny feeling that she's going to tell me that she's gotten engaged to her beau. sixth sense, a little bird, premonition, call it what you want, i wonder if i'm going to have to feign surprise and then delight. this could be a first for me.


at least i've got a shiny smile to flash for her.


got to make a quick update because i just got word that my buddy elita went into labor this morning. baby on the way! how cool is that? i think procreation is like the neatest thing.
