The purpose of this blog is to write whatever that is in my mind this morning. I am a bit frustrated and angry. It is rare for me, because I am usually a patient human. Today is Friday, my day off, normally it is good thing, however, today I will have to go to my dentist in a couple of hours and get one of my wisdom tooth extracted. So later this afternoon I will have a bit of less wisdom! This many people tells me is probably actually a good thing for me, no pun intended. A bit of less wisdom will actually be good for me!
I use that above Haruki Murakami quote a lot and actually believe it in my life. However, most people I interact simply doesn't get the meaning of the quote. It would be moronic for me to 'explain' that quote because that defeats the purpose! The trouble is, lets say (and this is factual), yesterday after work, I went to a burger joint to have a chessburger and a beer with my family. At the line, there was a little girl, who was chatty, and she was choosing the burger type to order with her mom. She wanted a 'Truffle Mac&Cheese Hamburger' (its complicated, so don't ask, but it is exactly what it reads like). Her mom said, she can't have it. So I said, okay, I will have that. She then said to me, that I shouldn't, because that was her choice, not mine. So I 'explained' that sometimes, I like to go with the flow without any reason or explanation. I felt like I want to take her choice as fine, and willing to give it a try, so I will. And I did, and I must tell you, as weird as it might sound, the hamburger was awesome! I will try it again.
My point is, there is no explanation, on why I chose that hamburger. Not even to me. But I am glad that I did. I will do it again. However, if you ask me for an explanation, I might try and explain, but it will ruin the experience. This is what lots of people don't get.
So here it is. My bottom left molars. The one to the right is the wisdom tooth that is partially infected. The black stuff in the x-ray is the infection. Also there is bone loss around the edges. So my dentist said, better out than in! I agree. But the reason, I put the photo and the story here, because, all over hive, I often 'explain' why I am doing something that I am doing. Is it right? Is it wrong? I find it rather funny at most times. However, when it comes with an accusation, especially from people, who I consider 'friends' it can and does become annoying.
Explaining the action, which someone doesn't approve, is like pulling tooth. Unfortunately, I will have to go though this in less than an hour. But hey, I am not going to end this note with frustration. I will end this with something positive. My wife and kids will be away this weekend. They are going for a mother-daughter camp for the weekend. Dad is not allowed! This will be a rare time home alone for me for a weekend in years! People without kids can't imagine how gifted this free time could be! I mean, I love my wife and kids, but sometimes I do miss a bit of peace of quiet!! (wink, wink)
I will be heavily medicated this weekend. So I can sit on my couch and drool with a bottle of Bourbon and watch Sleepless in Seattle, followed by Appollo 13, followed by Tora, Tora, Tora!, back to back till cows come home and no-one will say anything to me!! Bring it on I say!!
