hazel.

Well fuck.

Why do you have to swear so much, dude?

My eyeball, and wikipedia:

In North America, “hazel” is often used to describe eyes that appear to change color, ranging from light brown to green and even gray, depending on current lighting in the environment.

I always thought hazel was actually a color, not a social compromise for identifying difficult eyes.

And for more random movie references:

Only 1-2% of the world’s population has green eyes and it is the least common eye color.

Chinese girls do not come with green eyes.

My new flight medical came in the mail, the one that caused the whole “I weight 200lbs, that’s weird.” debacle. I got looking at my earlier ones.

The first from 2000-09 when I started flying. I was working at Panax, had graduated high school after dropping out the year before and spending a few months re-evaluating life and finding ground. I weighed 178lbs, which was about normal for me all of my life that I can remember my weight from.

The next was 2004-06. I would have been about finishing up working on the road doing the towers jobs then I think. After 18 months on the road doing hard physical work daily, it’s no surprised I weighed 196lbs.

And now today. I sit in a chair most the day, but I’m probably the most active I’ve ever been. I bike to work the majority of days a week now and go hiking most weekends depending on who I’m with and how active they are.

    One thing to keep in mind….mass for mass (not sure if that’s the correct physics term), muscle weighs more than fat. If you can still truly fit into clothing you wore 3-4 years ago (no puckering!), you’ve gained muscle mass. If you’ve got a belly, that’s fat!

    Yeah totally. That’s why it was interesting having my weights on the flight medicals and being able to associate them with more and less active periods in my life.

    I don’t think my pants size has changed since… high school? I simply don’t remember wearing pants of any other size.

    Wait… so… my eyes are sometimes gray, other times blue, other times greenish… so do I really have hazel eyes? WTF. I feel an identity crisis coming on. That wikipedia article is awesome.
