Of Sore Eyes and Posting

Well after the cataclysmic failure that was “The First Blog”, enough courage has sloshed into my stomach (from where? You will never know!) for me to undertake the activity know as…..POSTING (hushed silence!) again. Here goes,

Sore Eyes. I award it the stupidest disease prize. Of all of humanities afflictions (that I have been hit with) this is probably the most pointless. It makes your eyes go red. Red for God’s sake RED! Oh the humanity!

I suppose it does induce mild scratching but that’s more of a side affect than the disease itself causing you any discomfort. Of course I am talking without having any medical experience. Just the experience of having to go through the disease…twice. Both times I was shunned by society as the modern day equivalent of a leper. Come to think of it, that happened only the first time. The second time I was too busy to be shunned, so I took my self to my workplace in a vain attempt to spread pandemonium among my co-workers. Sadly only one eye was infected (it was slightly swollen as well) and everyone thought that someone had punched me in the eye. Slightly humiliating, but by the evening since both eyes were infected they realized that I was walking, talking, infection machine. At which point I hightailed it back home.

But still what’s the point? The only thing that disease did to me was that it messed up my rugged good looks for a couple of days. Oh yeah, it also gave me “Gummy Eyes” which was rather disgusting. Gummy Eyes are when your eyes get gummed shut after sleeping and you have to brutally pry your eyelids apart using your hands, freeing a few eyelashes in the process.

The worst part of this disease is that it is infectious. Highly infectious. If you aren’t careful everyone’s eyes could turn beady and red. Come to think of it, that’s a nice thought. “Look at my beady eyes of destruction and infection; O ye mortals and despair! Despair I say, DESPAIR!”
