wasting potential

i've been somewhat wallowing in these thoughts recently...

am i making the most of the life i've been blessed with?
what will i wish i had done?
what will i be sorry i did?

i can't help but feeling like i'm wasting my potential.
i feel entirely useless.

is it such a long shot for each of us to accomplish something incredible once in our lives?
is it so bad to want to be remembered for something extraordinary?

is this all there is?

under the influence

friday morning, i went to the dentist to get an old filling fixed, so i had to be under the influence of nitrous oxide for the better part of 2.5 hours. i had totally forgotten that sensation. according to wikipedia, nitrous oxide is "a colorless non-flammable gas, with a slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as 'laughing gas' due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anesthetic."

i had a number of highly euphoric thought processes while under the influence, many of which were quite amusing to recall after the fact... such as, "man, i forgot how much fun this stuff is... if i were a dentist, i'd take it home with me." at one point i asked the dentist's assistant what kinds of crazy things people said whilst under the influence, and she told me a few, like what kinds of drugs they sell or who they're in love with. i remember thinking "well i'm not going to tell you anything, they're MY secrets." turns out, i totally said that out loud. hopefully she didn't assume i have the same sort of secrets.
