Beautiful Green Eyes
What follows is an extremely old journal entry that I may or may not have posted here- but I really like it. Even though the memory is fuzzy- stupid tumor- but I can really hear myself in it. It's sort of what I really want death to be Me telling myself what my life was for a while before the greater conciousness comes along. Or whatever- maybe your whole life passes before your eyes; if that's true I'm all for this moment.
I spent Mardi Gras with a girl with wonderfully green eyes. I love the color green. This girl had the kind of eyes that make you think of old film noir beautys. They had this way of standing in the light so only their eyes are properly adored. These are the kind of eyes she has. I found myself in the same car with her and getting distracted by the reflection of the passenger side mirror. I didn't want to stare. I didn't stare. Staring implys that you aren't aware, you aren't paying attention to that which is being looked at. I was studying these eyes.
Of course, I chose not to tell her any of that because it's so cheesy. Even if you're dressed as a priest and she's galavanting around in a dark suit complete with pin-stripped fedora and a deep purple tie; no guy can compliment a woman's eyes with out sounding corny. So I said the next best thing.
"You're ass looks great in those pants."
