Out of sight, out of Mind

my blogging hiatus is done and over with. the good news: i'm back! the bad news: i'm back!

i, quite literally, am out of sight. you could stand right in front of me and i would not know if you were a boy or girl. just a blob. no offense. without my glasses, i am as blind as a bat. i was that kid in class who, when the teacher called on them to read what was on the chalkboard, mumbled nonsensical mumbo jumbo.

"what's the preposition in the sentence, james?"
"umm, fjzckdw;?"

i'm pretty sure the hours upon hours of watching nickelodeon and nick at nite shows didn't help. i'm pretty sure the endless video game sessions didn't help either. i'm also pretty sure staring at the sun didn't help either. regardless, glasses are my permanent appendage.

until now.

i am looking into getting lasik eye surgery. am i out of my mind? does shining concentrated beams of light into my eyes sound like a good idea? isn't that what got me terrible vision in the first place? quite the ironical twist, don't you think? it would be like a dentist telling a kid with cavities to eat more candy to get rid of the cavities. it doesn't make sense! i know, i know, i'm overreacting. and i agree with you. i hear the procedure takes 15 mins tops. that's faster than waiting at the drive-thru at some fast food places. can you imagine that? ordering your food blindly and by the time you pull up to the window, you can see! it's a miracle!

seeing is believing, right? in that case, i believe nothing because i can see nothing. but i have my faith, which is all i need to see me through. that and a doctor who knows what the F he's doing.

thanks for reading and take care. ya'll come back na, ya hear?
