Never broken a bone
Have you ever broken a bone? Well I mean teeth are bones so yes technically, but I was hit by a car going 65 mph, flew over the windshield, landed 15 feet away after sliding on my ass and nothing broke. I’ve also fallen down an entire flight of stairs and probably didn’t break anything.…

Randomness in Art
Very often when I do a digital design I do not have an end in mind. I try to make at least one every day and the process is very often the same. I start with a kernel of an idea, try to execute it, and decide if the execution was successful. If it was…

Candy Favorites
I would have a hard time choosing just one candy at this point in my life. I have always loved candy and have destroyed my teeth over the years with that love. So candy has got to be soft or only a little crunchy. I like the mini Dove squares, Kit Kat and Twix flavors,…

Eating Meat
What are your feelings about eating meat? I don’t have many reservations about meat in general. I eat chicken, pork, beef, and fish. My biggest problem is how it is served. I don’t have any adjacent molars in my mouth so I have to chew my food in the front. Anything that requires a lot…

Too Much Sugar
I’ve probably mentioned that I’ve been using a habit tracking app for the past few months. Last week I added a negative habit to track. The habit is “Too Much Sugar.” When I eat something just because of a craving for sugar I tap the little counter. In the past seven days I have racked…

Not Granted
Last night I had a Papa Bowl from Papa John because they are relatively soft on my teeth. I still managed to bite down wrong and the front tooth that had been bothering me so much fell out. Today my mouth hurts significantly less. I have taken my teeth for granted my entire life, and…

Actual Saturday Morning
I slept until a little past noon today except for getting up briefly at 4am to clean up poop. The house was quiet otherwise and I don’t have to work until later. So now I sit at my computer screen wonder what to say about a morning that I didn’t really have. My wife doesn’t…
