The Haze

Today I ventured into somewhat obscure territory in my primary attempt at the MTSU Raider Express. The experience made me feel in someway--subdued. I got on the bus and found my way to a seat somewhat behind the crowd. At moments like these, this is usually my position. I like to have the eye on them as opposed to vice versa. The cool breeze from the air conditioning was crisp and refreshing. As I got my bearings noticed that the bus has about 5 people in it--including the driver--and no one is saying a single word. Our only entertainment was the random crackle of the driver's radio:::other buses with messages for other buses. No one on the bus spoke for the entire fifteen-minute journey.

Now at this point, you may be beginning to wonder why I did nothing to break the awkward silence. But if you are, I have but one answer..it was just the mood.

I waited with much anticipation today for a call from Sanders Eye Clinic. Yesterday I went and finally took the you-know-your-getting-a-little-older plunge and went to get some glasses. I have needed glasses for years but have always dreaded the experience and tried to avoid it. This was the first eye exam I have had in quite some time and I was a bit anxious about the whole thing. However, when it came time to compare my new prescription sight to my old shitty sight, WOW I was FUCKING BLIND, MAN.

My new glasses--that's right I will be wearing glasses (pictures to come)--have made me very optimistic about the next weeks. [Perhaps because they make me look intelligent?](fragment: consider revising) We will definitely be exploring this subject later.

As for what has been going on in the news...there's the South Carolina Dumb Ass...the Alberto Gonzales thing...a couple of iPhone Hacker things....

it is late...

and I am beginning to succumb to...

the haze.
