Again with the truck balls.
May 25th, 2016
I am quickly running out of gas, again.
I really need to get my sleep cycle in order once more, because I really, really can't operate on four or less hours of sleep, day after day. Not if I want to be at all useful, that is. I'm already feeling my general competence and utility corroding, and here it's only Wednesday morning. On top of that, I am easily distracted, to the point that I was almost hypnotized off the road today.
I was speeding to work this morning when I got behind a truck. Not just any truck, mind you, but a truck with oversized, chrome truck balls. I am generally amused when people mount prosthetic testicles on their vehicles, and big trucks in particular, because that says a whole lot about them in general. But this set, this set in particular, was especially captivating for some reason.
I think the fact that I was half asleep to begin with, coupled with their pendulous, luxurious motion in front of me for about five miles, allowed them to completely draw me in. I couldn't look away from these balls, sparkling in front of me with the reflections of multiple lights in multiple colors from multiple vehicles, gently rocking back and forth in their hypnotic dance. They were magnificent.
My high speed photography doesn't really do them justice, but I thought I would share them with you nonetheless. Even if only as a warning not to stare into the chrome truck balls if you're driving tired. You just might slip into a suggestible state and fall clean off the road. Or, as almost happened to me, you might miss your exit and wind up being late for work. You know, again.
