- last time i went to a dentist, i didn’t exactly have the best financial situation. i was seriously low on flow and the dental coverage at JAJI, a F’ed Co. blew donkeys. so i had to actually get up and take the gauze out of my numb grill and walk out because i couldn’t foot the bill for the day.

my problem at the time was, and is busted teeth. as laid back of a guy as i am on the surface, i am really a stressed out teeth grinder. its like a fucking mill in there at night. slap some wheat in my mouth and night and you will have flour in the morning.

so last week when i ground off another chunk, it was time to take the new dental for a spin.

i am not a big fan of the dentist. its me sitting uncomfortably in a chair for a few hours while someone grinds on my chicklets and yells at me to keep my tongue out of the way. damn tongue. then you walk around the rest of the day with stretched, dry lips and that taste. novacaine. guh.

the only thing worse is the optometrist (yes, my eyes are light sensitive when i am sitting in a dark room and you have a flashlight one sixteenth of an inch away from my eye and no, i do NOT like it when you shoot air at my eye.)

but i am going to the dentist tomorrow.

- still on dating hiatus. haven’t had dinner or drinks with anyone since the fourteenth. i am not sure how i feel about that. or if i should feel about that. just need to shut off my brain. if i close my eyes, its not there.

- having a job is kind of like having a corporate sponsor for your life i think. only you don’t really have to advertise if you don’t want to. it would be cool to have your business card show up as a little jpeg with your own commercial though. “jared yerg! brought to you by midrex technologies! they’ll clean your iron! and sports connection! charlotte’s choice for coed social sports leagues! and last but not least, organ grinders local 69. keeping unionized monkeys dancing since way back in the day!”

- i drew a new look alike comparison this weekend. i can now add ben folds to the list along with jack from will and grace, zach braff, eric clapton when i had my beard, and don knotts in the pre-three’s company days.

- my favorite ben folds song is the one about joining the army. especially the lyric, “so i thought about the army. dad said son, you’re fucking high.”

- i got a case of the mondays.
