here's the low-down.

today i was sitting in my car watching this huge group of birds sitting on the inner most branches of a tree. they kept flying in and out of it over and over. i was amazed at the fact that they could zoom all the way into the center of that tree without hitting any of the smaller branches on the way and getting them stuck in their eye. i told this to rachel and she said, "well they probably do. it just don't phase them." i found this hard to believe. nobody likes twigs in their eye.

bird #1: man, this is a good sittin tree. nothing i like more than a good sit. in a tree that is.

bird #2: hey! here comes bird #3!

bird #3: ow! fuck! hey guys, how's it goin?

bird #1: it's goin. you don't look so good.

bird #2: yea, not good at all. what's wrong?

bird #3: ah, nothin really. i just got a twig stuck in my eye again.

bird #1: ooh that's rough, pal.

bird #2: yea, that really sucks. anything we could do?

bird #3: well, you could help me get this twig out of my eye.

bird #1: sorry bucko. no can do. i'm too busy tryin to get this twig out of my eye.

bird #3: oh, wow. you got a twig in your eye too?

bird #1: yea...been there for a while. hurts somethin powerful.

bird #3: man, i didn't even notice. you wear it well.

bird #1: well thanks. hey, maybe bird #2 could help you.

bird #3: yea, could you?

bird #2: sorry man. i'd love to help but i can barely even see you. my vision just ain't what it used to be.

bird #3: aw, that's too bad. the ravages of age, huh?

bird #2: eh, not really. it's mostly on account of this twig in my eye.

bird #3: oh i see.

rock the parcel.

uh huh.
