My kind of space cadet

I'm in line at Trader Joes a few hours ago when I realize I have totally spaced off. I'm in a totally different world and all of the sudden I'm supposed to be keying in my secret code. Whoa. Have I become totally acclimated to LA? Yes. I have. But I'm guessing I'm not your typical Hollywood airhead. I was seriously thinking about a method to discover the things that we believe today as true that will be proven as false in the future. Stuff as mundane as 80's fashion. Stuff as profound as the flat earth in the center of the universe. I was specifically thinking about the problem of missing things that are right in front of your eyes. Blinded by the obvious. So if you know you are blinded and it's probably obvious, how can you discern, discover what it is that is hidden - right in front of you? Yeah, that thing right there, that you can see just as plain as the sunshine, but it hidden from me by the light. The light that's blinding me, that I'm trying to see through. The light that has distracted me from my task of punching in my secret code. Right in front of my face.
