		<description><![CDATA[and lots of pain medication too]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so I actually took four. After years of agonizing fits of pain that come and go I had the latest &#8220;incident&#8221; with my wisdom teeth over the Christmas holiday. I spent three days in excruciating pain, deep in my right jaw. I finally gave in this time and decided enough was enough and it was about time to get them removed.</p>
<p>Just going to the dentist is a feat for me, as I have a phobia of that place for some reason. I generally only go when I have to and I&#8217;ve been thankful that my teeth are in pretty good shape and I&#8217;ve needed nothing but routine cleanings over the years. I knew the wisdom teeth would eventually become a problem someday but I was told that if you make it into your thirties with them intact, they generally seem to be less of a problem from that point forward. What I didn&#8217;t know was that if you <em>do</em> have a problem past your twenties, that they are a much bigger problem to deal with.</p>
<p>So, with this in mind, after some time thinking about things (okay, who am I kidding &#8211; the decision was pretty much made for me by the pain) I decided it was a good time to go ahead and bite the bullet. I was told that I have two impacted teeth with the one on the lower right that was causing the current bout of uncomfort was growing in sideways and causing all kings of problems. I was also told the the wisdom tooth above this one was also growing awkward and trying to &#8220;touch&#8221; it&#8217;s lower sibling which was going to cause it&#8217;s own dilemmas. </p>
<p>So after hearing about that I asked the oral surgeon if he would give me a group rate on getting all four wisdom teeth removed. He obliged and I obligated. I am now the proud owner of four very painful holes in the back of my mouth that hopefully will bring this episode in my life, to an unconditional end- yeeeah!</p>
<p>I would normally try and post photos but in this case I think I&#8217;ll pass and spare you that. <img src='http://toddlambert.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope that everyone had a wonderful Holidays! Kim and I had a great time spent with family and friends and we&#8217;re looking forward to the new year.</p>
<p>On site note, look for some pretty drastic changes to this website in the very near future. I have been working on a new re-design complete with a new logo, layout, and features. I am currently finishing up a lot of the smaller details and of course testing the website across platforms and various browsers.</p>
<p>As it stands, I am hoping to go live with the new site within the next week so check back soon.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What's the most you've ever lost on a coin toss?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had been wanting to see this movie and Kim and I finally went to see it with a couple of friends last night. I still cannot get this film out my mind, as it simply blew me away. This is in all likelihood, one of the most perfectly made films I&#8217;ve ever seen. Every facet of the movie is designed to draw you in further and further until you simply ache to escape. The plot is mundane in setting yet riveting in execution.</p>
<p>Every one of the characters are simple and unassuming yet force you to engage them on deeper levels than you really want to. The main character played by Josh Brolin is a perfect example of this when you expect a basic man, a cowboy simply out of place in the modern world, confronted with a moral dilemma that puts you in his boots for a gut-wrenching escapade across west Texas.</p>
<p>The killer hunting him is portrayed in such a manner that you cannot help but like him on a visceral level. He is the epitome of raw, pure evil and his intellect and uncompromising calmness drag you onto a never ending roller coaster ride of emotion and sheer terror.</p>
<p>Tommy Lee Jones will win an Academy Award for his portrayal of a nearly retired Texas Sheriff who is dealing with a changing landscape of moral and cultural divides when he is assigned to a multiple homicide that is apparently a drug deal gone wrong. His character is so perfectly portrayed and so engaging with a wit drier than the west Texas soil under his boots.</p>
<p>I simply cannot state how much I enjoyed this movie, especially the ending. I know that a lot of people hated the ending or were confused by it. To me, the ending was the right way to do it. End the movie like things end in real life. No Hollywood, feel-good, get the bad guy, ride into the sunset type of conclusion here and that is what ends this movie the way it rightfully should.</p>
<p>If there is a movie that you need to see, this one is it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The future of telephony - invites available]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;ve been using Google&#8217;s newest acquisition called <a rel="external" href="http://grandcentral.com">GrandCentral</a>. It is a VOIP tool that allows you to have a free phone number of your choice, that can be forwarded to any phone you wish. This <a rel="external" href="http://grandcentral.com/home/features">great new service</a> doesn&#8217;t stop there though, it offers a plethora of features that are simply outstanding. The main highlights are visual voicemail, assign numbers to groups and then assign specific actions to those groups and stop telemarketers by forcing them to enter a name before the call is completed and delivered to your main phone number. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just started to scratch the surface of all of the features that are offered but so far I am simply stunned by the power that this service gives you over incoming phone calls. This is the future of telephony as far as I am concerned.</p>
<p>Many thanks go out to <a rel="external" href="http://elihorne.com/">Eli Horne</a> who hooked me up with an invite. Speaking of invites, if any of you would like an invite so that you can try this awesome service out, leave a comment and I will be glad to get you an invite.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Sir, step aside. I'll be with you in one moment. Sir, you cannot say "bomb" on an airplane!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really don&#8217;t like flying anymore. I don&#8217;t know what happened as I used to love to fly when I was younger. Now, it just seems like a massive ordeal and you can never quite feel comfortable doing it. I know, the air warriors out there will be saying different but for me; I just can&#8217;t seem to get into it. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really actually hate the flying part, but the entire process involved. I just cannot understand how an industry that has been around for so long, can still continue to treat their customers like utter crap. It is one of the few industries that can do this and get away with it. I can somewhat relate to this in that the web industry was like this when it first began some 15 years ago. But the web industry is a much different beast now and has changed immensely in that short time. The same cannot be said for the Airline industry, unfortunately. Customers are still treated like baggage and the pricing is still incredibly variate. I guess I should note that website pricing is still a bit varied as well, but the same product is not one price one day and a whole other price the next like Airlines fares are. </p>
<p>Anyways, I&#8217;ve got to go, God is calling over the speakers in the terminal telling me that it is last call for boarding my flight. </p>
