This is utterly unrelated to anything screenwriting but I have to whine somewhere...
I cracked a tooth in half tonight. A half hour later, the rest popped out, leaving nothing but a nasty little stump. It doesn't hurt but I'm totally bummed out. I turn 40 in October and this just seems like some sort of heinous sign of aging that I am totally unprepared for.
I'm not terribly fearful of dentists and am quite pleased with ours but this particular gap looks like it may require red cones and barrels to be set up, sandblasters, front end loaders, and possibly the entire reconstruction of the right side of my skull.
Okay I'm done whining. You've all spared my wife having to listen to me because I unloaded on youze!
Jeff

Sorry to hear that.
I had a nice sign of aging on Monday when the hairdresser commented on my hairline being bit high at the corners -- and I'm only 24!

Once she sees the bill for reconstructing my jowls, I'm sure she will.

Haha, I'm sorry to here that Jeff (excuse the laughter, but not telling your wife about your tooth, I imagined she would find it out the hard way)
But, seeing this discussion- I have a story too. This actually happened in the summer.
I was about to turn 21 in 3 days and you know how they say- (they being people we've never heard of) that every 7 years your cells have already vanished from the time they were and are now completely and utterly fresh? Well on this day - (3 days before my birthday. I told you that) I was hit by a car so this was a somewhat aging process for me. (Ironically I was going to get my bike fixed.)
So i thought that this was somewhat of a transition for me, because I was soar for about a week I thought my body was fixing itself in its cocooned state. As if this trigger moment would create something new for me- anyways being in bed I wrote about it that day. So: If you feel like a read, awesome, if not, i hate you. (just kidding) - (i think)
Memoirs of Toyota Tonka
It was a pretty nice car from what I could tell- Great shape, well, a very large shape, very shiny - Reflections from the sun, probably recorded everything from what had happened-But then it would have hurt my eyes if I had actually seen it coming.
A Toyota Tonka- which was something that closely resembled an armored jeep. I couldn’t really say how fast it was going, but it felt like 30, maybe even 40 miles to the minute. And I couldn’t really say where I was on my bike, whether I was sitting, or standing up joyously, but I knew what it felt like- at least now anyways, thinking about the crash afterwards. The moment of impact was like a splice in your brain that said “You’re in for a treat” but you weren’t quite sure what to think of it, was this really happening, to ME?
Then soon enough, your already on your back, on top of the hood of the car, as it hurls to a stop-immediately you feel like paper in the absent wind soaring through the air, not knowing what to expect because it’s already happened, and you’re on the ground breathing, making sure that whatever laws still exist are there. Maybe you’ll do a little roll but, you wouldn’t know it.
And before any acknowledgment of anything remotely sound, what feels like the hard cemented floor will be your only friend and the only true assurance that you’re not only alive, but living- right now, within every step towards nothing- And these won’t be steps of reincarnation, but little snapshot moments that have led you here from a life already pre-existing. It will become, to a sense, a certain breeze that whispers, this happens to everybody, but your shaking your head, because obviously it doesn't.
(And yes, the seat on your bike does look like a twisted doll's head) - And you’ll look at your bike, without even thinking about it like an extra appendage, and it was just lying there next to you (your dieing lover.)
So the only thing you’re sure of right now, besides the information that your slowly receiving, which is an unsure fleeting feeling which will soon turn into a present knowledge that you are in fact being watched-witnessed-and whisked away by a fuck load of people, mainly telling you to sit down.
Is having someone tell you what you were never really sure of in the first place-
"Dude. You just got hit by a car”.

After that story, tous, I have no reason to whine about my tooth. You've just put it all in perspective for me.

Jeff, the best part about your tooth situation is that it sounds like you need a crown. And everyone knows you can't be a real man until you have a gold tooth.
I got my first last year. It changed me. Now I say "Aaargh" a lot and have a new appreciation for a good booty call.
