Emergency post! I'm a one/two-eyed man

Monday, February 18, 2008

Its kinda funny how you get teased as a little boy as four-eyes when you wear glasses. But if you think about it the math doesn't work well here. You would think that if you lost one eye you would have three to replace them not two. And that if you lost two you would still be able to use the other two. Right?

Well, apparently I abused my glasses so much that they decided to break and leave my with one less eye to use. But like I said the math here is different. If the four-eyed man loses one of his eyes, he loses two. So now I am back to being a two-eyed man.


The two-eyed man.

Actually its funny how they broke. Apparently instead of placing them on the table or nightstand they fell between the bed and my makeshift footboard, and (at least I'm guessing this is what happened) this must have weakened the frame. I say weakened, not broken, because when I found them they were all right. That is until a few hours later when the the frame that holds the lens in place just snaps in two, letting my lens fall to the floor.

I know... I know... Dreadful and I just know you are all asking yourself the same things as I. How will the poor artist keep going with just two of his eyes instead of four? Aren't the visual arts, visual? Won't the artist be impeded by this impediment? Well... I hope not. Hopefully, I'll be able to make new ones tomorrow and thankfully I still have the old lenses back at my place. So, the two-eyed man will become four-eyed soon enough and work will keep on going. This will not stop the artist on his endeavor to finish his video-installation about the symbolism of a Buddhist stupa. The only thing it will do is give an incredibly bad headache, less money, less time to work on work (study/art projects) and a funny story to tell.
