Blind optimism

Thinking everyone you like will also be someone you can trust would be blind optimism, and at some point reality shows somebody that not everybody you like will be someone you also trust.

The charming guy/girl was hard not to like, but after years of being around this guy/girl, the blind optimism that started the relationship (friendship) ended up getting a bit more realistic when one party knew they'd never fully trust the other, attempt after attempt at trusting the other party had shown them that. When life was not a party, the people they liked the most were seldom the ones they could continue to trust.

Net Blindness

In sports, the ability only to see the other players on the field/ice, and not the net into which you are supposed to attempt to score.

"God damnit!, Tim Connoly's got another bout of net blindness. He tried that impossible pass instead of shooting the fucking puck!"

Love is blind

1. A nice way of saying "Love makes you do fucked up shit."

2. The biggest understatement ever spoken by the masses.

Love is blind.

No. Love is not blind. It's fucking delusional.

Blind Guardian

What can I say? A great Power Metal band liked by great people.

I would argue than Nightfall in Middle Earth is their best album, but again, they all rock. With amazing voal talent by Hansi Kursch, Andre Olbirch on guitars, Marcus Siepen on bass, and Thomas "Thomen" Stauch on percussion, they just kick ass. They originate from Krefeld, Germany.

Curse of Feanor and Bright eyes! WOO!

Alec: Dude, did you see Blind Guardian at Bloodfest?
Kyle: Hell yeah!

flying blind

Used to say that you do something without any sensible precaution because you trust your instinct or because u don't have any other possibilities. Initially, this expression was used by US aviators when they couldn't see shit because of fog for example.

I don't need to use this map, I guess I'll just be flying blind. Still trust me?
