Without a mask

I have recently decided to attempt to wear contacts again. Now I know most people wear contacts because they hate wearing glasses, I on the other hand love wearing my glasses. I stopped wearing contacts about 9 to 10 years ago because my eyes always felt dry and icky. I know your thinking if one loves there glasses so much why would they get contacts. Well its all about the Benjamin's. Ok can't believe I just typed that. But it really was about money see contacts are actually much cheaper than the glasses I have. My insurance which runs out on the june 3oth only convers 150 dollars of each. Its all crazyness. Anyways I thought why the hell not.
Now I can tell you that they feel really weird, but that doesn't bother me as I feel like I look weird. Now you have to understand that I really can't see at all without my glasses. When I put makeup on my face is super close to the mirror. I told the optomistrist that I thought I looked funny, and he said sure your not hiding behing a mask anymore. I thought that kind of funny. I guess in a way very true, as me with glasses seems more like me, than the me without. Interesting or not.
I just have one more thing. Can someone please explain to me why a "contact fitting" cost extra from the actual eye exam. And really a lot more like 42 dollars, with a discount. Thats insane all he did was hand me a pair of contacts, and ask me if I still remember how to put them in. Which I do even though I had a bit more of trouble finding one of them, as I couldn't see it. ah well we shall see how it goes. On the plus side i don't need knew glasses because my eyes are that much worse. Go me.

Hating the cubs brings readers to blog

I recently checked the stats on my blog, and they've grow quite a bit larger than they used to be. Just over the past week in fact. Now I know I'm not changing millions of lives here, but I do what I can. I'm guessing this weekend caused a lot of cubs hating in the world. There seems to be an over abundance of people googling "I hate the cubs". This might not seem like a big deal to the rest of the natural world, but really after this weekend, and before round two starts this weekend, its all I have left to live for. Friday didn't hurt so bad, but Saturday and Sunday were down right painful. Here's what I hate most about Cubs fans. Why is it they feel the need to only text me when their team is beating the white sox. Duh I'm watching the damn game. I wouldn't bother you if my team was winning. Ok well I would but its still way more annoying when they do it. It turns out though I have a lot of friends that are cubs fans. They are super annoying. I think I'm over my text limit due to the mass influx of people who just HAD to tell me the cubs one.
This year at least the cubs have a great team, which does make things a little less painfully, as it was always heartwrenching if they won when they sucked. I do love though that after all these years cubs fans are still able to keep the faith. I mean 100 years is hard, its really hard to suck that bad for that long. I know every cubs fan believes this will be their year, but then again they believe that every year, but if past behavior is any indication of future behavior they will manage to fuck it up yet again. They are at least consistant in that one thing.

facebook is bad

Ok now I understand that most people my age use such things to keep in touch with people they went to high school with etc. I've recently tried this (by this I mean being friends with more than like the 12 actual people I normally talk to in my life). I promise this is not good. I mean its kind of good in that I feel like I look better than some at or around my age, but its is terrible in that I haven't seen some of these people in like ten+ years. What I learned is they are old. And clearly I've deduced from this that I in turn am old. Beside the fact that clearly my body is falling apart I don't feel old. I don't feel like I look old, but these people who are my age and younger look kind of old. Are they really old, do they just look old, or is it mearly that they were very young when last I saw or heard from them. Oh this is less fun then one would have thought. I guess this is what you get for wondering what happened to people.
