I have worn glasses since I was two. Really awful glasses. Coke bottle thick ones. {At least I never wore circular glasses to complete the effect, like Buzzkill did.} In 1989, I lounged on Daytona Beach with 8Barrel and Easy E and planted my glasses in the sand and lit smokes with them. As a kid, I tried to set ants on fire with them but had them pointed the wrong way.
Begining with the end of high school, I pestered my opthamologist (whose actual name was Dr. Beers) about getting contacts and he said no. I blamed my glasses for my utter lack of scoring. I was even so convinced that my glasses were holding me back that I launched a drunken rant about how people treat me different because of the glasses at E. I was somewhat full of shit at the time. That never stopped me before. Or since.
Anyway, a couple of years ago, technology caught up with crappy ass eyesight, and I got contacts. Cool Beans. Then age caught up with my ass, and I found myself squinting. My new OD, Dr. Spicolli said, "Dude, I'm so wasted." Or maybe he said, "you're old!" Anyway, now I need readers to read contracts and the other crap I ignore to write in this blog. The more things change....
