Nearsighted Enlightenment

I remembered why I chose the name Nearsighted, or at least have come up with the reasons that I think I chose the name. I had a bit of a notion when I said I couldn't remember but I wanted to think a little more and make sure it was what I wanted. The general thought behind the name Nearsighted was about looking at things closely....really looking at things. Not just on the surface, but also not ignoring the surface. While I am nearsighted, it has nothing to do with my trademark glasses...although in a round about way I guess it it does. You see, the more I read the more nearsighted I get. If I read a book for a few hours when I finally look up from the pages I cannot see anything further than my own hand. My ability to see beyond what is near me is temporarily hindered. So if I spend a lot of my time blogging about books, which I'm sure I will since they consume my life in so many ways, I will be closely examining the things that are in the books...but I will also become more and more nearsighted and eventually need to invest in a stronger pair of lenses, which incidentally, I have been putting off for entirely too long.
