Bradley's Buzz

Blinded By The New Year

Here's a story 'bout a boy named Bradley

who was busy drinkin' his New Years away

when he lost his friggin' glasses.... can you even believe it?

I blame it all on vanity - I was getting my picture taken at our friendly little bar when I decided, "Hey I look stupid with my hat and glasses on, so I'm taking my glasses off..." and that was the last I ever remember seeing them. The next day I searched high and low and called the bar, walked back to the bar and the conclusion was, my friggin' glasses are gone.

So I call up my doctor and I say, "Doctor doctor I can't see far away anymore, how am I supposed to know what I'm watching on the tv, I can't read the program guide." Understanding my plight they looked up my past order and informed me that my frames are no longer carried at the doctor office and they have to be ordered from France. Who knew I was so Euro trash? So I went back to the doctor's office and could not find any other frames I like. So today it's off to Lens Crafters so I can hopefully see by next week.

It's all so terribly sad, I can still kind of see, I just have to sit really close to the television set. I know what you're thinking, "But Brad that could ruin your eye sight..." Is that irony? I'll have to consult Alanis on that...

until then here's exhibit A: (me with sight)



and exhibit B: (much cuter but blind as a bat)

Four Eyes

Only 19 Days until my BIRTHDAY!!!!!

And just to show you all I am okay dealing with being 26 (ish), I have chosen to show you all what happens as you reach that big 3-0 (ish), you end up needing frickin' glasses.

Okay, truth be told about 7 years ago when I moved to LA at the ripe age of 16, I took my eye test at the DMV and couldn't really make out any letters. I could barely see them so I guessed and I guessed right cause they passed me... but as time has gone on, I have seen less and less including the writing on the TV - which is a must to see. So I finally went to the eye doctor who told me I most definitely needed glasses.

I wanted a pair of Laura Avery glasses but when I was told I should wear my glasses all the time and not just for driving etc. I thought I should go a more conservative route.. and so I give you - BRADLEY 4 EYES....


Incidentally, when I went to get the glasses, the wonderful gals at my eye doctor had me put them on and look out the window, I can't believe how pretty the world really is. I mean the street signs are gorgeous, and now I can finally see them... the gals did ask me if I got lost a lot considering I am blind and all, and I just told them that yes, I did get lost often but figured it was just from being blonde not blind... we'll see if the glasses actually help with my sense of direction.... okay, go ahead and laugh and point at me, it's okay I can handle it... besides now I look like a writer.
