About a month ago I was sitting on a friends sofa at a right angle to the TV watching a film and could barely make out the subtitles, I'd had had something stuck in my eye a few days before so decided to book an eye test to see if i'd scratched it (hadn't been to an optician in maybe 25? years)
Turns out my retinas are fine but I'm just old and needed glasses. Eyesight was particularly bad in my right eye (left has been compensating) so also found i have an astigmatism that needed correcting.
Now i've got them i'm realising how bad my eyesight was. I haven't been enjoying reading as much for the last while (getting tired and putting the book down after a chapter, or telling myself the book must just be boring). Considering i'm doing mostly editorial production it's been affecting my work too (although sometimes I don't want to read this shite) after a few days adjusting everything feels much easier.

When you're about to finally place an order for some readers on www.peepers.com after ignoring the increasingly desperate need for them for about 3 years now.

As I personally trend toward death, I have less kindness and patience for people who do harm to others.
Case in point: that shooting on the brooklyn subway today? Well, as a young man I opposed the death penalty. As an old man, how do I feel? Let’s say if they find this suspect and can prove without a shadow of a doubt that he’s the one. Then fuck it. Kill him. Why do the rest of us have to worry about cunts like this? In the end, we all die. So if you’re going to go around murdering people arbitrarily, you can fucking die soon. This goes for all mass shooters.
I shouldn’t be the one to do him because justice should be dispassionate. On the other hand, if they needed me to do it I would not hesitate.

- “If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain.” —NOT Winston ChurchillPonyBoy
- LOLWUT. Americans have no idea how to describe positions beyond their idiot system. Capital punishment or vengeance has nothing to do with conservatism.nb
- I was describing YOU, my friend... w/a NON-WC quote often attributed to him (but probably belongs to nobody of consequence). <3PonyBoy
- It’s all fun and games until you put to death an innocent person - due to quality of policing, corruption, racism, errors etc.shapesalad
- Lol dude. This position does not make me conservative. *Rolls eyesnb
- Your epiphany of "I suddenly don't care what happens to criminals" is as cliche as a midlife crisis... welcome to getting older, young fella.PonyBoy
