So my buddy Jimmy (old college roommate) and I decided to get LASIK surgery. We've done a number of crazy things together (pledging Phi Psi, Row Run, Hermosa Beach Triathlon, Solvang Century, Sky Diving just to name a few) so we figured we would try this together. We go in to see the doctor who is going to perform the surgery. Of course I've been thinking of a million reasons why I should not get this done because I'm starting to chicken out. We grab a bite before heading to the surgery center and decide to give the Buddha a rub on the belly for good luck (you could see the fear in my eyes LOL).

We fill out the paper work, get the consultation stuff out of the way. I was getting pretty nervous when the doctor says he is not going to perform the surgery on me because he could tell I was tired. See, the night before I was up until 2am editing images and I never thought that I would have to be well rested for LASIK surgery. So all the time coming up with excuses why I should wait mixed with the anticipation was for nothing! LOL, all I had to do was stay up late. The truth is I did want to get it done but I am still a bit chicken. Hopefully closer toward the end of this year I will revisit LASIK. I guess the Buddha belly rub didn't give us luck this time.
