A New Year Has Dawned
First off. Happy New Year. What better way to start than with my 300th post. WHOO!
Holy shit, everyone should have their eyes dilated. Man, that was the most trippy shit ever. I guess I should explain.
Near the end of last semester my eyes were starting to bug me. I figured it was the end of semester fatigue setting in, but I figured that I should go to the optometrist and make sure that's all it was. Since I have eye insurance again for the first time in forever I figured I should avail myself of it, yknow?
Well, I went to the optometrist today and one hour and $10 later he told me what I already knew- it was just fatigue. Yup, my vision is still literally 20/20. I just need to break up my marathon reading sessions more, use better lighting and be sure to use lubrication when needed. That's my PSA for the week- be sure to lubricate folks.
Oh, and did I mention that I had my eyes dilated? Because I did and DAMN, was that shit great. I walked out of the exam room into a world that was something out of a movie. The fluorescent lights fluoresced brilliantly, and all the colors were washed out with a depth ... words just can't describe it, just amazing colors, yo. Thank God it was overcast today. Had there been any sun I might have ruined my trip with searing pain.
This trip was so good that when I got home- I even had the munchies. This was the best shit ever. Seriously, all I could do when I got home was eat chips and watch wrestling and Star Trek: TNG and some older stuff I'd been saving on the TiVo for just such an occasion. Such a great day, yo. I should really stop describing it now.
Though, I think I ate too much Green Chile Dip. But holy shit, what a great idea. New Mexican green chiles combined with DAIRY. Best combo since some idiot combined PB and chocolate. Just amazing. But, it's chiles and dairy, so one must be much more careful than I am when consuming it. Yeah, I'll leave it at that.
Other than that Nena and I are getting Casa Norteˆía back together after New Year's Invasion. I'm totally in love with my Coleman air pump. This thing is awesome. It inflates air mattresses amazingly fast ... but it also DEflates them even faster. One of my favorite things to do in cleaning up after NYI has been deflating the air mattresses. Just sitting there and watching them shrivel up is way more fun than it has any right being. Yeah, just great.
As for the Invasion itself. I'll post about that later on tonight or early tomorrow. It deserves its own post.
One last thing. There's never a better time to change, than right now. There's never a better time to live than right now. Do you work, do it well and be kind- at the end of the day each other is the only thing we've got.
Are you sure they just dilated your eyes? Maybe they accidentally treated you for glaucoma instead.
heh
nope
i asked really nicely for glaucoma treatment
and when the doctor looked at me all funny
i remembered that even though i'm in L-Town
i'm still in kansas
Exactly, you are still in Kansas, and the hemp industry is the most evil thing to happen to the Kansas wheat-based ag industry since the rise of soy and elimination of the New Deal.
Hemp: it has the weavable fibers to rival cotton, the processable oils to take down flax and the smokability to bring down big tobacco. Add medicinal value and you could completely destroy the ag business in most of the country. A new multibillion dollar market, destruction of what little agriculture remains in this country and something else that the drug companies could charge exorbitant amounts for? Sounds like a Reganomics devotee's dream! Now if only the damn dirty hippies weren't the ones pushing for its legalization.
clearly
Wow....Silsby sounds militant
Dude, they dilated my pupils on a bright, sunny CA day once. OH THE PAIN THE PAIN THE PAIN. Seriously, yo. I'm jealous now!
yeah
next time, get that shit done on a nice, cloudy midwestern day
brilliant
eye dilation is awesome unless you ahve to drive really far to get home. Then it's kind of a drag. Did they give you the grandpa sunglasses to keep your retinas from burning?
Happy new year!
sadly
i did not get any grandpa sunglasses
and my elliot gould mobster sunglasses were MIA at the time
they've since been found
but it was a bit too little, too late.
