Have you ever been to the Dentist and had him talk your damn ear off? Well read on to find out about that and more…Well today I went and I already hate going to the dentist. Especially mine. Max is his name. They call him Mad Max from what i’ve heard Don’t get me wrong he’s a WICKED Dentist but man I don’t know if it’s worth it for all the stuff he does.

Let me paint you a picture. Everytime I go, I usually have to sit and wait for 30 to 40 minutes AFTER my regular appointment. So I get to sit and chat with the receptionist for that whole time. JUST LET ME READ A FRICKEN MAGAZINE. That’s why you have em. Geese.

Finally i’m let in. First thing when I get into the room, I have to wash my hands. Cause you know there are like 7 different types of Hep out there. Everytime he makes me wash my hands thinking i’m carrying some deathly plauge with me and i’m going to infest him. Cause you know putting your hands in my mouth isn’t going to give you hep. It will be my hands around your damn throat. LOL.

Now the hands are washed. I’m sitting in the chair and he goes on and talks to me how are you, blah blah blah. Finally he tilts me back at almost a 90 degree angle like could my blood rush to my head anymore!? Then he picks and prods in my mouth asking me questions that are more then a yes or no or a nod. Like how the frick am I supposed to answer you jack ass. So I try and answer him, what does he tell me? Open your mouth wider. Well it was open when you decided to ask me a damn question you nimwhit.

So he proceeds to tell me some story about how his kids got drunk in Mexico while they were there on a family vacation. He was saying his 17 year old son was in a drinking contest with the bartender drinking Tequlia. First thing that crosses my mind is great fathering, you’re letting your 17 year old kid get wasted. Your a #1 dad. Good job. Anyway so he’s wasted blah blah, he tells me about this I think three times while I was there. I guess just incase i didn’t hear it the first 2! TIMES!

So while he’s telling me all this, i’m just sitting there going, hmmmhm, ummm hum, ummm hmm. (Like on Family Guy where the guy is being interviewed by a black detective and he just sits there going ummm hum)

FINALLY an hour and a half later he’s finished. So I miss my lunch, it’s 1:30 and he says will you be able to make your lunch. Umm buddy my lunch was like an hour ago. I ask him when I can eat, he says in about 15-20 minutes and tells me why I can’t, and for another 7 minutes tells me 10 more times that I can’t eat for 15-20 mintes. So by this time I can probably eat in more like 8-13 minutes.

So yeah that was my afternoon at the dentist. I hate him but he does good work. What can I say i guess.

There you have it Vlad and whoever asked me why. That’s why he’s a dumbass

Just snagged the latest Metallica album from the newsgroups. Listened to random 30 second intervals of the whole album. And you know what? Metallica has lost their magic - and replaced it with home cooked speed.Most of the tracks sound like one another. Hell, I’ve heard high school bands that sound hundred times better.

Imagine this if you will: a successful (and highly political and vocal) band, with laurels up to ying-yang, putting out an album that sucks soo bad that it would beat any vacuum cleaner in a carpet cleaning competition. In my opinion, this puppy would rip out the nails holding your subfloor to the joists.

I’m not saying that they’ve lost their touch. I think they decided to look for a new market. I-will-listen-to-anything-fast-and-loud crowd and I-can-play-this-on-meth gang will adore this album. It was like listening to general dentistry before novocaine! An album only Hardcode Metallica fans could love - if they got it as a promo, or downloaded it from the internet.

I’d put a star rating beside the CD, but I’m afraid that it’ll get sucked into the fecal mater singularity that this album is.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ALBUM.

No, really.

Have you ever wondered why people rant? Like me for example? What good does it do. Read on to find out….Well thinking of something to rant about I thought why not rant about ranting. Nobody has ever ranted about that, or maybe they have who knows, i’m doing it now.

So what’s the deal with ranting? I mean for me I like to rant a lot. I look back and think what has it done for me. Did it get me laid? Did it win me 1 million bucks? No it didn’t. In some aspects it just annoys other people. I guess maybe I get some satisfaction in that, you know the annoying other people. I think that’s part of the rant to just make yourself annoying to other people.

So is this the reason for the rant? Or maybe it’s for the “cleansing of the soul” BS i’ve heard about. Could be, to get something off your chest in a ranty way kinda does feel good. I mean nobody gives two shits when you are done but it sure as hell makes you feel good.

So does ranting get you anywhere. I know i started on it up there a bit, but i’m going to rant some more about it down here. If I rant and Cliff is around I know i’m going to get a laugh out of him, so maybe we rant for the sake of amusing Cliff, I mean others. Speaking of Cliff, he is a good ranter, I mean he can rant with the best of us.

Anyway I think i’m done, it’s late and I have an early day tomorrow. For a first rant, it’s not bad, but i’ll try and think of some better stuff next time.
