bad timing, and bad eyesight...


so it's an hour past midnight, ready to go to bed...the last thing i want to deal with is a couple of bills in my face and being asked to write out a check for each of them....uhm, how about no? not without my black book, and not while i'm tired...not that i can't pay my part or anything, i handle money matters during the day when i can get into my "corporate" mood...money matters aside, now to my eyesight...well, i had my first appointment with the eye doctor in over a decade or so...maybe less...long ago i wore glasses, but later on i managed to get Uncle Sam to hook me up with some experimental treatment to correct my eyesight...i won't go into detail, but it involved being wide awake with my eyes forced open like the dude from Clockwork Orange...not painful, but VERY strange...i came out with even better vision than before, and of course, a few minor side effects, but it was worth it...ask me about it sometime...anyway, i'm going to end up needing glasses again...i've been suspecting as much...the majority of people in this world are right-handed...one such right-hander introduced his atomic fist to my left eye...i was not only surprised that he didn't hit enough flesh to cause a black eye, but that i was still even conscious...this was a big strong steroid loving fuckin' A...i was temporarily blinded, and was fortunate to have others come in and hold him back...as much as i would have enjoyed a good fight, if there's nothing in it for me, i don't even want to bother putting the gloves on...the next morning i noticed that my left eye was a bit blurry...weeks went on and i was able to correct it on my own, but not enough to see like before...so i made an appointment with the eye doc...well, it seems that my left eye is still bad, but it will get better later on...in the meantime, i have glasses now...i don't want to wear them tho...
