Ohhh man, my eye is malfunctioning.
It's really bloodshot. Earlier today when I first noticed it it was already pretty bad, but at least mostly concentrated in one place... now it's pretty much just red. No, I haven't done any drugs that could be to blame. It's as though someone or something poked me in the eye with a decent amount of force, but I can't remember anything like that happening... heck, I haven't even been going to bed particularly late the past couple of nights, since I've needed to get up early for work.

Well, apart from tonight/last night, anyway, since yesterday was my last day of work for the week. I probably made it worse.

Maybe I have some sort of infection, but I've had eye infections before and none were like this as far as I can remember.
At least it's my left eye, which I believe is the weaker one... and if it falls out I can wear an eyepatch and drink rum and be a pirate and suchlike.

Edit: I forgot to mention that it kinda hurts. Owie.

Maybe you clocked your head on something while you were a) hammered b) sleepy c) hammered and sleepy d) all of the above?

Every now and then my eyes just flip out on me though, so it's probably fairly normal. Except that in my case it makes me look like a heavy drinker and I've barely touched a drop in my life.

I hate how old tv programs are unavailable for anyone interested.

Discovery Channel How Stuff Works, History Channel Mail Call and Conquest... it just bust my balls.

I mean, they should at least be online or something in their respective networks.

Unless said clock was traumatic enough to cause memory loss, I don't believe anything of the sort has happened.
I haven't even been hammered or particularly sleepy in quite some time. Maybe I just haven't been getting enough sleep, or maybe I slept in a weird position with a bit of pillow pressing against my eye? I didn't notice anything until today at work, though, and while I had been using my eye quite a bit, I was using it as a seeing-head-orb, not as a ping pong ball or a table leveller.

Sounds like an eye infection to me. I had one ages ago where my eye went super-bloodshot and it was watering so much I was pretty much blinded. Go to a doctor. If it's an infection they can give you some eye drops for it which will clear it up.

[Yoink]

Thanks for the advice. If it hasn't cleared up by the time I wake up I might just have to do that.
Or add it to the long list of things I am putting off seeing a doctor about.

Had about  a cup and a 1/2th of whiskey in order to see what its like to be drunk (basically, got whiskey for mom for a hot tottie, rest is left over, so experiment time: I basically don't drink otherwise.  Man its kinda hard to type this out).  Whiskey itself tasted like shit.  So far, its like I've got two minds: a shitty, tipsy one that mis-estimates things like how far to put the cup to drink the water and another one thats like "Ok, heres the procedure to follow to not fuck up".   Interesting experience but man, honestly with how terrible the alchohol tastes and how shitty this is, I don't think its something to make a habit of.  Probably still absorbing alcohol from the whiskey and getting drunker- drinking water and fixing something to eat now to take some of the edge off.

Originally, I had heard that 'alcohol, or specifically, red wine, makes you healthier' but fuck this. (I  have like an 8% wine I tried that tastes terrible, and a 14% that tastes even worse.  I think I will just take pills or drink grape juice or something cause this sucks).

[Cthulufaic]

Yeah... as someone who has had a glass of wine a week for quite a while now I still think it tastes bitter as hell, though some red wines have been pretty mellow or sweet which were decent.
And if that's true that red wine makes you healthier, well I guess I'm living to a hundred and eighty XD

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, red wine, dark chocolate, and some berries have been shown to help heart health and reduce inflammation. But we don't actually know what in them is responsible (though a 2014 study made it pretty certain that it isn't resveratrol).

This guy needs dropped off in the worst neighborhood imaginable after dark if he's going to complain like this.... Then he can figure out how good he has it.

[Orange Wizard]

Wow, what a pretentious twat.

[Rolan7]

...  Yeah, that's pretty gross.
There's a correct point in there about how it's sometimes beneficial to be on debt, if it means you can make a better profit with the money...  Like taking a loan to start a small business.  But he doesn't really explain that, just bitches that he could have bet more money on his *incredibly* lucky investment portfolio.  Yeah I get that he's kicking himself, but doubling your money on stocks is not a reliable thing to go into debt based on!!

Jesus. He actually still made the right choice! It was a coincidence that his investments took off - there's no non-fraudulent way he could have known that his money was going to double, and the expected rate of return on the stock market is almost certainly lower than the interest on his mortgage would have been.

[Flying Dice]

How much you want to bet that he was paid to write that by a bank? 

[Akura]

Meh, I'd rather spend that bet on my mortgage.


I found this on the same site.
