Thank You Eelnahs for the Fiber Optic Jesus that you gave me!
Night Terrors are something I've dealt with since I was little. No I'm not talking about nightmares.
Night terrors generaly occur between REM sleep and deep sleep. You are generaly overcome by fear sometimes you awake but are unable to move, sometimes you wake up swinging.
I've been to a couple sleep labs as a guinea pig for this condition. I've tried medication for it it made it worse. They say not to drink alcohol because it may make it worse. I must have a rare type though, when I drink I don't have them.
They even studied this at one of my guinea pig parties. Stone cold sober though I seem to have it happen alot.
Last night as I lay down at about midnight to sleep, until 4 am anyways. I have a night terror. I awake enough to open my eyes and I can feel tears running down my face yet I can't move. Note night terrors are one of the major reasons that people think they are abducted by aliens.
I think of happy thoughts " the Cubs winning the World Series" and begin to giggle thus waking myself up. I'm still not sure why I giggled thinking of the Cubs winning the series though. I'm sure this is their year.
After I finaly wake up I turned on the Fiber Optic Jesus that Eelnahs gave me. It puts out a beautiful aray of multicolored light at a mellow amount. I slept well the rest of the night.Maybe I should call one of the old guinea pig handlers to let him know that. Better yet I just start marketing it as night terror therapy touring the country and making obscene amounts of cash. Wait I've got a conscience damn it.
Well no work tomorrow might as well get pissed and do a little painting.

Great Losses in Life
Yesterday we lost one of the truly great Americans of all time. I spent many a years watching the Bob Hope specials. I especialy looked forward to the Chrismas special because it showed the NCAA All-Americans. It seemed like his specials were always around the time we had a family function.
I remember sitting with my great uncle Doc as he drank tottis and would always go into how he had seen Bob Hope in North Africa during WWII. I never once complained about hearing that story as my uncle would tell it he would just glow.
I know my uncle is probably lined up in Heaven to see him now.
Do I stay or do I go?
I've been pondering this question for about six hours now. I was offered the job in Cinci. I told them that I would need a little time to think about it, if that was alright. They told me to call by Friday.
This would be alot easier if I could just win the lottery on Wednesday.
I'm torn between a new start or old haunts. I also have a sick sister to worry about. Hopefuly I'll see something in my dreams.
I'm supposed to have sinus surgery sometime soon. I think if Dr. Schack had his way I would have it done tomorrow. Who would of thought that having your nose broken six times would cause that much blockage. I would like to wait until Chrismas time but I've started getting headaches. Surgery sucks anyways, they fill your nose full of this gel crap. It like the stuff they use on post it notes.
Well enough ramblings for today.
God Bless

Sunday party day. I new I was in for a long Sunday when I began drinking huge mugs of Fat Tire at Hooters.
My freind Jay is a nut sometimes. We decided to go to Hooters to eat little did I know. Three beers apiece and we're on our way to Old Chicago. Six beers later we're on our way to Sokol for a little rock-n-roll.
The Thorns and the Jayhawks, both rocked along with Carla Werner opening. She has the voice of an Angel and the looks of a playmate. I wonder why it was all guys by the stage when she was singing?
The Thorns are a modern day CSN of sorts. The members are Matthew Sweet, Shawn Mullins, and Pete Droge. Three part harmonies with a bluesy sound.
The whole show rocked and it was only $10. I spent more on beer than I did the show at $4 a beer. I thought Eelnahs was going so Jay and I looked for her. We didn't find her though.
We called her when we got home to see what she thought of the show. That's when we found out she didn't go. I then told her how good it was and that I was sorry she missed it.
I promise I wasn't trying to rub it in, it just rocked.
Today I went to the gym pulled a muscle in my leg. Planned on biking with Eelnahs. I was a little to sore though. So I cleaned instead. Cleaning sucks.
I also had a couple of Ex's call to apologize for shit. I'm waiting for lightning to strike me now. I guess we'll see.

Nothing beats another fun filled day of dehydration. Work is entertaining as usual, I often ponder how they could get so many stupid people to apply for Steelworker jobs at once.
There are about 83 people that started at the Pipe or as I like to call my little scrap of hell between 1975 to 1982. There is probably a total of 10 intelligent people in this group. The rest are the reason drugs are illegal I believe. Oh well at least they're easy to pull jokes on.
I got off work at 2 this afternoon washed the muck off of me and headed to the gym by three. It was a good break, no knuckleheads or air wasters today. I was out of the gym with in an hour.
I got home at about at about 4:15 and read the news papers. I then made dinner for myself. I am now in the process of doing laundry, I hate laundry.
I want to go riding but it is to hot and I'm cramping like Rosie O'donnel during heavy flow. So I think I'll relax and read a bit.
This also give me a chance to plot how I will rule the world after I hit the lottery.
Good Night and God Bless.
