Now look at him:
Good old boy JD got thrown in the drunk tank after a night of drinking at Hooters (his primary sponsor) in North Carolina on October 27th. JD claims, however, that it was all a misunderstanding. Even within this article he claims two different things: 1. He went to his bus to pass out AND 2. that he didn't have a ride anywhere so he got thrown in the drunk tank. Apparently the driver of his private bus saw him laying down with his eyes open and thought he was dead, after several attempts at waking him, he freaked out and called someone. John admits that sometimes, when he is really tired, he sleeps with his eyes open (in fact, he is asleep in that photo) and people who know him know that about him. You know, people like his private bus driver...
I know this for sure that when you go to Hooters as an alcoholic, bad things are going to happen. There is no misunderstanding within that concept.
My question is this: How tired/drunk do you have to be to sleep with your eyes open? I have actually seen this before so that part isn't that far fetched to me, but I have always wondered: How dry do your eyes get? You know how it is when you have a cold and can't breathe through your nose and you fall asleep with our mouth open? Remember how dry your tongue is? Oh man, you tongue gets so dry it takes about 5 or 6 serious maneuvers with it and opening and closing your mouth to get things back in order again. How do you manage moistening up the eyes again after 8 hours of sleeping with your eyes open? Do they shrink and get a little wrinkled like raisins? Do they hurt all day?
I don't really care whether John was drunk and disorderly or whether he went to his private bus and curled up like a little lamb to sleep on off. There are millions of people who struggle with the same issues, it sucks for him that his misdoings are published in the newspapers though. What will happen with JD? Who knows, he will keep trying to play golf and there is that pocket of people who will continue to love him no matter what.
Me? I am indifferent with him and his issues except: STOP MAKING KIDS! As if kids need to be brought into your unstable and erratic personal life. It is one thing to have issues with drinking, drugs and gambling but stop dragging kids into the fray. He keeps getting married, making a baby or two and getting divorced. STOP IT. If you can't stop anything else, stop this.
Oh and: buy some Visine.

Now that explains it! I am pretty sure I have seen him asleep with his eyes open and golfing at the same time. No wonder he keeps going downhill. Who knows how often he was sleeping when we thought he was participating in these tournaments while awake! I think i have a new respect for him. I bet he can do lots of stuff asleep with his eyes open!
That's a sad mug shot. I wonder if he's got anything on under that jumpsuit....doesn't look like it...Sick.
Yes, that sleeping with the eyes open thing is definitely freaky to behold. I think I know someone that I can ask to find out what eyes feel like after they've spent a night in the open air....
