Blind

When you’re colorblind, certain doors are most definitely shut to you. Being a fighter pilot, as I understand it, is out. Being an interior decorator or fashion designer, also out, though I don’t really care much about either one of those exclusions. The fighter pilot thing would upset me if I hadn’t already understood that my nearsightedness disqualified me.

I’ve recently learned, though, that certain games are immeasurably more difficult for us colorblind folk. Like Bubble Pop on the Nexus. With dark blue and purple, I’m lost. With shades of green, red, and brown that blend into an identical blob, it’s hopeless for me.

The girls are enjoying it, though.

Biebl’s Ave Maria

There are some pieces of music that defy words, that make it all but impossible to think we’re just chunks of meat walking around, just bags of chemical reactions. This is one of those.
