The eyes have it...

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

She's got Bette Davis eyes. She’s not just captivating in her looks, she’s got the chutzpah to back it up. She’s bold, confident, and definitely skilled in the art of seduction. She seems to know what she wants and goes after it, but no partner is safe when under her spell.

And she’ll tease you
She’ll unease you

Good eye. Keep your eye on the ball. Catch someone's eye.  I know this ain't what that meant, but, Fred Arbanas was a highly successful tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. Age 26, Fred was brutally attacked by two men, lost eyesight in one eye. Did not stop him from playing football. TBC

Fred then had a glass eye put in. After a hard hit the next year... the eye popped out. Game was halted whilst players got on knees to search for the eye.

Found, handed back to Fred.  He placed the eye in his mouth to clean it, lube it up, then popped it back in the socket.  A ref was left amazed. He went to him, said "Man you are one tough SOB....have you thought about what you'd do if you got your good eye poked out?"  Without missing a beat, Fred said "Oh that's easy. I'll just become an NFL ref."

I might mention, and have before, I have one friend totally blind, eyesight progressively worsened over the years... a 2nd friend, legally blind. They are, simply, amazing humans.  One goes fishing often, the other goes snow skiing, annually, and that's not a typo. 

This morning, when thinking about a topic, the word pizzazz surfaced... I was thinking of a certain person, a relative actually. This person lights up the room, the mood, life in general... that pizzazz shines through the eyes and the smile.  My two buddies above, each, hands down, full of pizzazz.

The apple of one's eye. Bird's eye. Eagle eye. Stars in one's eye. Catch someone's eye. Eyes bigger than stomach.  The teacher had eyes in back of her head.

Blog, X, Instagram, yada, in the public eye. Without batting an eye (mebbe 'cause she had Bette Davis eyes.) 

Can't take my eyes off of you.... Behind blue eyes.... I only have eyes for you...   Smoke gets in your eyes...  Blue eyes cryin' in the rain (sing it Willie!)... These eyes.. 

I heard an expression the other day.  A friend described one as having smiling eyes.  I LIKE THAT.  I really LIKE that.

Smiling eyes...

Pizzazz

Life, aging, edjumacates us to filter out the yuck we see, hear, focusing instead on positive, light, fun...

All while having smiling eyes with a pinch of pizzazz tossed in.

Yum.

Love, Victud
