I had surgery on my mouth the other day to have the base of an implant put in. It hurt like hell. But as I was walking out my dentist gave me a hug. Afterward, when I was talking to my mom about it, she mentioned that she thought that if every dentist did that, maybe people wouldn't be so afraid of them.
I have to say, I agree. If you take doctors, they save people. Eye doctors don't cause pain; in fact they hardly ever cause pain. Chiropractors relieve back pain. Podiatrists help people with foot pain. But dentists? Even when they're trying to help people relieve their pain, they cause more.
But maybe if they hugged their patients afterward, people wouldn't dislike them so much. Like, "Hey sorry I hurt you so much but I hope you feel better soon!" Or something to that effect. I think it would help.
But hey it's just an idea. =]

Can't Think of a Title
I don't understand why people complain about wrestling so much. I think it's because they're looking at it the wrong way. WWE and its' different shows are just forms of entertainment. They are just television shows like so many others however. They have plot lines and dramas and relationships and even though sometimes (okay a lot of the time) they are really stupid and not very well written, they're still just shows. Everyone knows its fake and I guess some people don't understand why others still watch it but thats like some people not understanding why others like soap operas so much. Most of the drama in soap operas happens in hospitals. Most of the drama on wrestling shows happens in a square ring.
So the next time somebody tells me I'm stupid for liking what I consider just another show on TV, they can look at their own entertainment preferences. Why do some people like sports movies or shows about athletes? All that action is fake too but they're not considered stupid for watching it.
So to the people who think it's stupid: don't watch it. No one really cares if you don't like it because that's your opinon on it. But the people that do watch it have a favorable opinion toward it so get over it.

Train of Thought
It really bothers me that most of the time I'm thinking about random, stupid things and going on little rants about them in my head but then when I try to remember them later to write them down (because they can be kind of funny) I can never remember the subject. I wish there was like a recording device in my head (thats not my memory) that could remember all the stupid things I say and think.
One thing I just remembered! At work this month we're selling those shamrock things to raise money for the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) which raises money to send kids with muscular dystrophy to summer camps and stuff like that. It started yesterday and I felt really bad and kind of hypocritical when I was working last night. I always got annoyed by the people that would ask me if I wanted to donate to things. I always thought, "If I wanted to donate my hard-earned money I would do it. I'm here to shop not to give away my money." Or something along those lines. But now that I actually have to do it, I'm realizing that those poor people were just trying to do their jobs.
This year they're having a contest for us. For every 25 shamrocks we sell, we get a $5 coupon that we can use on anything in the entire store. And, apparently, the reason their pushing it a lot this year is because one of the managers was working at a store last year that raised 10 grand. I guess he wants to top that or match it.But last night I got 18 so I didn't do too bad. I even got people that said no at first to change their minds. Namely the goatee guy. (He actually doesn't have his goattee anymore either!) But he said no at first and then, becuase I'm such a pleasant and cheerful person, he changed his mind and told me to put the my name on it. So even though I only raised a dollar for it, I count that as 2 on my personal tally. =]
