Daily Clerks

October is almost over already. That means 2 things….Korea here i come! and on a lighter note….its been over 1 year since i lost my hearing in my left ear. How has this affected my life?

For one thing…it makes dating a bit more difficult because picking up the ladies at the usual places such as bars and clubs because the loud noises are disorienting. good thing i likes my coffee shops and bookstores where its quiet and I’m able to actually carry on a conversation with said ladies.

A good thing that has come out of it is that if I can ignore people and just tell them that I didnt hear them because i’m deaf. That has come in handy quite a few times…esp with said ladies.

Some downers are that I find it difficult at times to enjoy music and tv. the latter is  a downer because I like to lay on the couch and watch tv but i like lying down on my right side which doesnt bode well for hearing the show. Another downer is that I cant carry on a conversation if there is too much ambient noise because all of those sounds are getting funneled through one ear and  its just a nightmare to process.

Such is life. All I can do is accept my situation and make the most of it. So to that special chica out there….it’s not you…it’s me. Yes I get a bit frustrated when I cant hear you over dinner at a restaurant and all I can do is nod because i’m embarrassed to keep asking you to repeat yourself. Thats my hang up. So let’s skip the formal dinners and just rent a movie and I’ll cook. Or better yet, you cook, i’ll clean and supply the movie.
