for whatever reason, i like to be rather anti-social when i travel. aside from a minimum of pleasantries, i prefer to focus on my work, and preparing for whatever reason i'm traveling.
travel requires so much waiting time that i like to see it as self-imposed study hall. inward solitude.
quite often, i will think, wow, everyone talks SO much. how much is there really to say about the weather/a busy airport/etc. ?
and then i realized, that's what quiet people must think around people like me. hahaa.

I'm not much of a talker and am far less so around strangers or when I'm traveling. I absolutely hate small talk and I like to travel light/uninhibited. If I want to stop and see something new along the way, stop at an out of the way antique/book/music shop, take a nap beside a river, etc. I like being free to do that.
An exception to the talking thing would be if I am seated next to an elderly person with interesting stories to tell. Then I'm all ears.

This inspired me to take time out for a little medical moment with my CC friends. You might not know this, but a few years ago I was in an accident and got all fouled up. I'm ok but had to have a few operations and one of my eyes had problems and other stuff so let's talk about eyes for a moment...
If you'll take a look at this medical graphic....
you'll see an ordinary every day eye. You'll see the normal eye with a lens that "sees"an image (the happy fella) and as light passes through the lens it projects an upside down image of the happy fella on the retina. This information is then carried to the brain and your brain interprets the image as a perfectly situated right side up happy fella.
Now, iff you'll shift your attention to this medical graphic you will see my fouled up eye....
One of my issues is that I lost the lens and had to have all that mucous eye gunkious replaced with synthetic mucous eye gunkious called vitriotic fluid. Without getting into too much graphic and medical explanation, that same little happy fella image that the eye "sees" now passes straight through the eye as shown and projects a right side up image on the retina. This information is then carried to the brain which thinks it is perfectly situating the image and turns it upside down.
That's right people.......I now see upside down.

I was happy to come online today n' see my Christian Jokes thread up and my Prenuptial agreement thread down. Although I know I asked a really good question, therefore I got LOTS of replies and PMs too. But at some point I was like come on guys, can you drop now cuz it's taking too long n' it starts to be boring. REALLY!!!
There comes a time when I just walk away into the sunset. lol
First, I totally dig when you draw us pictures and put them in a thread. Second, when I was in my car accident my right eye had some trauma (and now I have to wear bifocals), but you totally win in the eye messed up games. And lastly, I'm all for hearing about the icky medical stuff!
Why do boys from the city go to AE and Hollister, buy a plaid shirt, then suddenly claim to be a country boy? I find it quite amusing really. I see guys like this every once in a while. They partially have the right look, but I think to myself who are they fooling other than themselves lol. If you were a true blue through and through country boy; A, your shirt would not be pressed and perfect, B, your jeans and boots are stained from working hard not from dye, and C, your mannerisms give you away in a heartbeat.
the posers always crack me up. i sometimes get a kick out of what people sometimes wear when i invite them to come riding with me.
no, you don't need to wear a crispy pearl-buttoned western shirt and your new justin cowboys.
i have ranted about this before, but having grown up with real cowboys and country boys, the posers stick out like a sore thumb. and they look beyond silly.
further evidence we all should just be ourselves...
