On Monday, I learned that my best guy friend's eyes are hazel (I had thought they were brown). We have been incredibly close friends since 2000, and yet, I didn't know his eye color. What kind of crappy-ass friend am I?
His eyes looked very green, and I had asked if he was wearing color contacts. When he said no, I felt like the biggest dumb-ass ever! His eyes have just never looked so green before - perhaps it was the lighting in the store.

I don't think knowing some ones eye color really matters. I mean hell unless you are doing it with the lights on
wow 'Messed UP'. Spiteful today? Interestingly useless comments to say the least.
And James misses Chuck's sense of humor by a long shot.
well thank you james
the comment is only as useless as the person that would say it is
Wow James so I guess if its not full of sentimental "Oh its all ok" that is useless? Great to know that you respect what other people have to say or maybe even loosen up and take a joke?
Interesting -- none of these comments come close to touching on the real point that was trying to be made --
Amazing, isn't it?
I figure it's fine. At least people are using my blog as a venue for their arguments. It's entertaining, to say the least.
I never meant to start an arguement. I just did not see the point of the so-called humor posted in a couple of well written posts that touch on serious issues.
And I can take a joke. But if you read this post, I am fairly confident that kind of joke is not what was appropriate as a response. To agree or disagree is one thing, but to make light of someone's honest thoughts and emotions, that's just cruel.
Next time I won't write anything.
Actually, I think Chuck's (messed up) original post does lend towards Alicia's post. Knowing someone's eye color shouldn't matter. Knowing that detail is irrelevant to a friendship.
Well I guess if one can not make "light" of life situations then I guess I would have to say I pity you if you are unable to do this. And in the same respect you say that it was cruel to make this statement on someones honest feelings and thoughts? Well just because it is not written in a way that you would that statement is someones honest feeling and emotion about the post. So in making this statement it seems you are a hypocrite because you have turned around and done the same thing. It feels pretty good to make "light" of any situation the good and the bad. That is what life is all about. This post was in no way appears to be a reflection of her deepest thoughts and emotions it was about her friends eye color and never really noticing it before. And no I agree it doesn't matter if you know every little thing about a person that is your friend, especially those tricky hazel eyes! Mine change from green to brown depending on what I am wearing and if what I am wearing is nothing then sometimes they have a blueish tint. People can be best friends for years and there is still more to discover about them. And it probably really flattered him when you took notice "how" green they were!
