a new shirt
its funny how an article of clothing can change your perpective on things...
3 months ago, i had a concert for band, and was wearing what i considered a rather unattractive white button-up collared shirt (i'm sure you know the type), no matter what my mom and grandma's view on it was. during that concert i wasn't in the greatest of moods, and at that time my acne was terrible. after i got my hair highlighted on wednesday i went an bought a new white button up shirt, which is more attractive, in my opinion anyway. and still my skin is pretty bad, but yet at tonights concert i was in a much better mood. I mean i'm not giving the new shirt all the credit, but i think it almost did help; i 'spose i just felt more comfortable in a way.

I was also thinking today about the value of sight. i was walking back to rez for lunch, and i think it was snowing a little bit, maybe not. anyway, i started thinking about those people who are blind from birth. how would you desribe snow to them? sure you could explain the cold aspect, but what about "bright" and "white"? there's no way to really "show" them what those words mean. I used to think that if i had to i'd rather lose my sight than my hearing, but now i'm not so sure.
