Dreaming...

I was having a dream just before I woke up today. It was a very interesting dream. I often have some very interesting dreams and even if you think it may be a silly dream, I figured this would be a good place to post it.

It was as if I were in a war-based game, infiltrating a small camp of enemy soldiers. There were soldiers lingering around, some cars, and a tank. The camp couldn't be much larger than 75 ft long by 75 ft wide.

It all starts when I come crashing through the back window of a car. I pop my head up to take out the tank with my bazooka. As I turn to take out the soldiers that have begun shooting at me, another tank appears out of no where.

I jump up out of the roof of the car and dart to the other side of the camp in order to evade the new tank. I must have run out of ammo for my bazooka, so I have to dance around in hopes to get close and plant a grenade or mine (or something).

I jump around a lot, avoiding the rockets being fired at me. As I jump out of the way just barely evading a rocket, I hear the voice of someone exclaiming in amazement about my acrobatic skills.

I suddenly feel a little exhausted and feel like I can't get up and that it's the end. The tank seems to be taking a long time to shoot its next rocket as well, so I do whatever I can to get up and move quickly.

I start grabbing at the ground as if it were a large net and I was climbing it rapidly. I continue to do this to begin circling the tank and get closer. I feel the rage and energy build up in me as I continue to circle rapidly while rockets come flying at me.

I finally get a little closer. It was just close enough to make a final leap over the tank to drop my grenade. I hear some beeping going off for a moment, but attempt to ignore it until I am awoken from my dream by my alarm clock.

What a finish, eh? Quite an epic battle, if I say so myself... haha. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did!

Penalty

I have an abscess, a few major cavities, some minor cavities and as of yesterday, my cheek began swelling a bit from the abscess. It had been swollen before, but I decided it was time to get the problem fixed.

So, I woke up at six this morning so that I could be at the Shands Dental Clinic before seven to (hopefully) be seen early. I arrive a little after 6:30 to fill out a piece of paper and wait to be called. I go to the cafeteria to grab something to eat briefly and come back just before seven. My name is called and I go up to the window. The lady asks me how I am paying for it and I say "Insurance."

She says, "We don't accept insurance, only Medicaid."

I'm a little baffled, so I ask her "Where do I go to be seen?"

She asks me if I have an appointment to which I reply, "No, how do I get one?"

She informs me that appointments have to be made months ahead of time, which doesn't make my temper any better. So, I decided to walk out at that point.

So, my rant begins now. How the fuck is it that I, a person who pays for his own insurance, cannot be accepted on a walk-in basis by the Dental Clinic at Shands at UF, but the goddamn government-funded fuckers get accepted? You know, I'm all for this "healthcare for everyone" or the idea that everyone should be taken care of regardless of whether they have insurance, but it's really fucked up when I get penalized for having insurance over the welfare bitches!

It just makes me want to punch that lady in the nose for being such a cunt! It's as much her fault as it is her employer's fault for not accepting insurance, so I don't regret this thought at all!

Nonetheless, I am looking for a good dentist in the area and hope to have my problem fixed soon. That is all.
