43. A Few Things...

I have been not really busy until a couple days ago, mainly hanging out with friends until this morning, but here is basically two stories that I will talk about:

Starting with the most recent...

Well this morning I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I wish I could say how much it hurt, but they used a general anesthetic in my IV that knocked me out within a minute so I was out for the whole extraction thankfully. My face was really numb and for about 3 hours after the operation I had gauze on both sides of my mouth. About twice my one side started to bleed again and I had to put more gauze in my mouth for that side. When the numbness went away, that same side started to hurt, so I got two pills of Ibuprofen (which is recommended) and haven't been in pain for the rest of the night.

The main reason I needed my wisdom teeth removed was because my tooth on the lower right was pointed towards my cheek and would hurt for a week at a time about four times a year, plus the tooth on the opposite side of it hadn't fully broken through. They decided to take all four out in order to prevent the other two "healthy" teeth in order to prevent bacteria growth and what not because of where they are in relation to brush one's teeth.

But anyways, so far so good, tomorrow will probably hurt real bad and I might have to take that hydrocodon stuff. I know I have to have that bacterial rinse stuff or whatever it is and that won't taste good at all...

Now for part two...

Okay, why is it that some women think that when you ask them to go to dinner they think you're asking them out?

This happened two days ago between a friend and I who I haven't seen in about nine years. That right there shows that I just want to hang out and reminisce about stuff, that's it. I have no notions nor feelings towards her in that way at all! I don't get why people in general automatically assume stuff like that. Sorry if I don't find it weird that hanging out with the other sex can happen without a date being a possibility. Who knows the next time I will talk to her again because it's a little embarrassing for someone to automatically assume I want to go out with them when I haven't even hung out with them in almost ten years! I'm not going to ask you out based on Facebook conversations because you can't hear the person and you aren't right near them in order to develop and feelings like that. Oh well, when I can eat more than just soft food, I just go get dinner with friends of the same sex and those of the opposite sex who know I'm not trying to date them and take girls I want to go out with to midnight bowling.

42. Domestic Terrorism

Yes, the title does say "domestic terrorism" because someone was assassinated in the last 24 hours for what they believed was an okay thing to do. Dr. George Tiller was an abortion doctor and one of the few that did late term abortions; he was murdered during a church service he was a attending by a very adamant and extremist pro-life supporter.

Now let's get this straight... Pro-life... means for life or for the right to life, yet this, and many other doctors who do abortions have been assassinated by other extremist pro-lifers. Does anyone not get the picture?!?!?! I thought if you are Pro-life you mean all life! I know I am writing this late at night, but come on, I can even see how much of a farce some of these pro-life stances are! I'm not knocking those who are Pro-life but understand that they can not convince people to not have abortions because they are not that person making that choice. It's just sickening to see some people contradict their very message of Life by killing doctors, blowing up abortion clinics, and constantly protesting about how someone will go to Hell because they decided to rid of an unwanted fetus. It's so sad that this is one of the biggest rights of choice that a woman can have, yet so many people want to take that right away from them.

Don't get me wrong... yes I am pro-choice, but I have my own limits onto what I consider "legal" circumstances for abortion. Ultimately though, I am a male and therefore can not make that judgment. I could only do that if males were the ones getting pregnant, but we don't so we should never have a say in that process.

Going back to the murder of this doctor, the head honcho at Operation Rescue, you know, the organization that has the Roe of Roe v Wade as one of it's members, acting as if this murder was a victory for their side. They show their contradictory stance by saying that his murder was necessary since he aborted so many potential children. I thought these people were Pro-life? If you're pro-life that means all life, not the life of something that is not born yet. If someone wants to abort, let them because it's not your life. That person may feel they made the right decision or could regret the whole thing later on, but it's THEIR choice to make that decision, not yours!

This is AMERICA, not IRAN nor NORTH KOREA. We have FREEDOM OF CHOICE here! It's alright to be Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, just don't go to an extreme about it. A personal opinion is fine (like this blog), but there's no need to protest because you aren't entitled to that person's life and how they run it. For those that think that murdering a doctor is the right thing to do WHILE AT THE SAME TIME condoning those doctors for "murdering" unborn babies is horrendous; what happened to "Practice what you preach?"

I'd say let people ruin their own life if you think what they are doing is such a bad idea. People will guilt-trip themselves, no need to get into their face to tell them they are wrong. You wouldn't want someone that has a pro-choice stance come up to you and say "your parents should have aborted you" would you? I would think not because it isn't right, the same goes with all those stupid anti-abortion protests at abortion clinics. Let women make their choices without fear, there's no need for this extreme Christian stance that almost borderlines how the Taliban treats women. As John Lennon said, Give Peace A Chance.
