Sunglasses, pictures, and motivation

See, I was going to write this big thing about how I can’t ever keep a pair of sunglasses longer than about 2 months, but then I lost interest when I was digging all over the place to find pictures of the dozen or so glasses I’ve had in the past year, all of which suffered some sort of degrading injury because I’m not careful with them.

Like the pair I lost at Bonnaroo.

Or the pair I closed in the car door not 5 MINUTES after buying them on my way to my first date with Bell.

Or the pair that I sat on.

And the other pair that I sat on.

The one that I stepped on.

The one that fell off in the ocean while wavesurfing.

The one I rescued from falling off in the lake (had to borrow Juicebox’s spiderman underwater goggles for that particular save)

The one that fell apart in my pocket after being crushed and repaired too many times,

And the replacement that I bought last month, which now has an arm taped to it with electrical tape, after I, well, sat on it.

Yeah. I was going to write that, but damned if it just wasn’t too much trouble to find the pictures.

So, instead, I’ll get political for a minute:

Politics suck.

Thank you,
Jake

    You can’t be the only one–my husband had a collection of sunglasses that people left at his office. I, however, paid $6 for a pair of cool blue sunglasses at Cracker Barrel in 1986–and I STILL HAVE THEM. I don’t wear sunglasses that often, but I’ve never owned or used another pair since!

    See, I haven’t lost any (except for the ocean pair, and that ol’ bastard Neptune stole those from me). I just break em

    You got this all wrong. Sorry. You go and get an expensive pair and don’t sit on them. Get a wrap and hang them around you neck. With all the money you spent this year, you could be wearing Maui Jim.
    Politics is fun like rugby is fun. It is a blood sport not for the weak at heart. You qualify.

    That was awesome, realtorchick. Except I can’t see Jake with Maui Jim anywhere on his body.

    I bought myself a pair of primo clip-ons from walmart this morning. Things were fine when I tried them on, but Oh no, not so when I was driving w/ them. SOB’s gave me a head-ache almost immediately. Genius that I am, I had to go an rip the packaging when I opened them. Crap. Hopefully walmart will take them back.
