For the past 10 hours or so I´ve been tasting the saltiness of my own blood among other things such as gatorade, cold soup, grape gelatin, and an herbal mouth wash. I´m the victim of a brutal wisdom teeth extraction.
And I traveled thousands of miles just for it. Orthodontic operations are much cheaper in South America, including the plane ticket and all. So I figured, why not? They had a bit of trouble taking out my left wisdom tooth though. In fact, it took 3 doctors to finally pull that sucker out. Apparently the Lord built me with some fat wisdom teeth in the lower back row. Which is to say he gave me quite a heftly load of wisdom. Well, now that I´ve lost it I´ve succumbed to healing on my cousin´s bed with an ice pack while watching music videos on VH1 Colombia. Fortunately they´re playing all the American videos from the eighties, nineties, and today. Highlights include the entire U2 filmography, “Pump Up The Jam” by Technotronic, “Rapper´s Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang, and “Macarena (club mix)” by the Barrio Boys and some annoying hispanic chick. Yup, Colombian culture is really keeping up with American trends.
I´d better lay down again. All this blood is making me queezy. Oh, and I think they´re showing a brand new episode of The Jeffersons!
Out.

Dave!! Didn’t your doctor tell you that now is the best time to eat all the ice cream in the world? It heals the wound faster that way!!... ;oD Don’t overdo it though, ‘coz you might just roll off the bed instead of gettin up! LOL
take care.. God bless.

Wow, sounds cool. I want my teeth pulled out
VH1, huh? Pops caught me watching VH1 when I was 10, so that means you are watching the same music videos that “corrupted” me. If you come back singing “MMMBop”, I may have to slap you.
Hope you recover soon!! I’m getting two of my wisdom teeth pulled out on Tuesday.

Natalie, you’ll appreciate this. They actually played MMMBop. I almost put it on my highlights list but I feared persecution. And I remembered the band was made up of three guys, not girls.
