Imagine

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace…

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.

What an interesting week it has been.

About this time last week I had a sore jaw, it felt like it needed to pop, but wouldn’t pop. Then Sunday we went to a sports bar to eat and watch football I was having issues chewing, just wasn’t as easy to chew as it normally was. Then Monday I woke up and could not chew at all and my front teeth kept clicking into each other which has never happen before and as hard as I tried I could not clinch my back teeth at all, so I had to eat with my front teeth “chewing” my food, try that a few times and see how incredibly annoying that is.

So we called the Dr and I got squeezed into a 4pm appointment and after a few test she had no idea what the deal was, she ruled out TMJ, Tetanus and any cold/sinus infections, she gave me a subscription for some Motrin to see if it will reduce any inflammation I had in my jaw and went looking for a head and neck specialist who could do more. I took a Motrin (800 mgs in size which is huge) and I was pretty much groggy for the rest of the night, Seattle killed Philly 42-0 and I can barley remember watching that game. I went to bed around 1130pm and when I woke up at 5am I could completely close my jaw and once more clinch my teeth. Still not sure what the issue is, but I can still chew and do everything normal as I once could. Of course the only Dr around here that I need to see that accepts our insurance is an hour away

Fun.

Today is also December 7, which is the day the USA was attacked in 1941, and tomorrow will be December 8 which will be the day John Lennon was killed, and for my Canadian friends, yesterday was December 6 which was the Halifax explosion anniversary which was the largest non nuclear man made explosion in history of the world, seems that December has a lot of bad things happen.

Heck, I hate shopping for presents, this year we got Heather, Charles, & Cheyanne taken care of early. We also need to run to the worse part of town to get Pauline’s cell phone worked on, dangthing isn’t dialing as it should be. And I still have no clue what to get Pauline this year, this is the hardest year I have ever had with her, I always had an idea of what to get her before the holiday season and this year I am blank.

I hate this time of year…

Dec 1?

Holy Smokes this year has just completely flown by, it seem like a month ago we were celebrating New Years Eve. This has been an interesting year, but I will do a “year in review” post later. But 2006 is looking very promising already, and 2005 wasn’t that bad for us, and at points it was very good for us, unlike 2004 which I still get sick thinking of.

Sunday afternoon

34, which is what I am as of today and honestly it doesn’t bother me one way or another. I have never been one to celebrate my birthday; it’s just another day to me. But Pauline got me a really cool gift this thing weighs 50 lbs if it weighs a once.

Not much planned today, woke up and took a nap. Have a few football games to watch, but none that really stand out until Monday night when the Colts go for 11-0 and I really think they will, but I have been wrong before. Right now I have FOX pregame on like I do every Sunday and how I wish they would dump the girl and that dumbass “comedian” they have every week, total waste of air space.
