feels like rain

ohhhhhh hi. i didn't see you there!

it's so freaking early. geeze. why does this time even exist? 8:41am. everything between 6am and 10am should be illegal. YEP. you heard it here first. ABOLISH 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 am. just go straight from 5am to 11am.

it would be a mandatory sleeping time. NationwideNap. that's what i would call it when i am president. and there would be a lullaby station on the radio!! yeah, i like this idea.

i think the Nationwide Nap mixed with the Birthday Holiday will be my greatest selling points on my presidential campaign. aanndd....possibly the drive-thru post offices. because i think that's totally brillz.

that link takes you to an article about a drive-thru post office opening in New Jersey! New Jersey has TWO drive-thru post offices!!!! any readers in New Jersey ever experience this? does it work? does it not work?

i guess i should experience one before i go putting it on my presidential campaign. there's one in Chicago too. ARLINGTON HEIGHTS. on Euclid Ave! CRAP. i should have gone when i was there!

but, YEAH, for NJ! i don't understand why people are sometimes mean to New Jersey. they have lots of things that people like:

1. drive thru post offices
2. river city extension
3. cakeboss
4. jersey shore?
5. bon jovi
6. bruce
7. the starland ballroom
8. jonas brothers
9. "New Jersey is home to more scientists and engineers per square mile than anywhere else in the world."
10. there are more diners in NJ than any other place in the world!
11. birthplace of these inventions: FM radio, lightbulb, drive-in movie, cranberry sauce, ice cream cone, postcard, the zipper, the seedless watermelon.
12. NJ was voted 'least annoying state!'
13. NJ is the only state without a state song!

WOW. look at that please. um, why doesn't everyone live in New Jersey?! it's awesome! actually, lots of people DO live in New Jersey because it's the most densely populated state in the country!! true story! i just learned that!!

wow, it's only 9am and we've already learned so much!!! how great is today!? today is great.

i'm pretty impressed with New Jersey right now. no wonder it costs so much to drive there!! (yes i'm talking about you, Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike.)

i actually don't really remember how much it costs. i just remember it felt like we were always paying money. the two recent times i was in New Jersey:

1. march
2. april

hm. april. that was a long time ago. it does not feel like that long ago. for realz. when Ryan and I drove to West Chester, PA to see Crash Kings. and then we stayed in NYC for the night. yeah, that was in April.

although, i must admit, it's kind of depressing driving through NJ in the part right before NYC. especially at nighttime. it's like...factories? all kinds of yellow lights everywhere. but other than that - it's great.

and WHY is there no state song when there are so many great musicians from there?!!

i want to see a COLLAB between Bruce Springsteen and the Jonas Brothers. right now please. kthanks.

WAIT!!!!! our friend Zach Braff is from New Jersey!! duh, he wrote Garden State! one of my favorite movies which i DO NOT own on DVD.

hmmmmm okay. currently it's 9:17am. thursday morning.

i last updated at 3 (or so) am. told you i was going to bed. i THOUGHT i was supertired. my eyes were burning and itchy, which it usually a telltale sign. also, i was yawning. so i thought, "great! i'll get some good sleep before work."

but that sleepiness didn't last long. and i couldn't get into bed. i just couldn't. so i stayed up until 4:15. then went to bed. and then wasn't tired anymore. also, it was getting light out very quickly. and then it was 5am and i still wasn't asleep.

and then i did some mind trickery and forced myself to sleep. it was awful, actually.

i decided i need to wash my eye mask and start wearing it again. i stopped wearing it because every morning when i woke up, my eyes would really hurt to open them. i thought it was my eye allergy drops for a while, but then discovered it was because i was wearing the eye mask. how does that make sense? i don't know. it wasn't too tight, because it would always fall off.

anyways.

and tonight will probably be another late night. cause i don't think i'll be able to stay awake all day on only 2 hours of sleep. i'll have to nap. and most likely the nap will go 2 hours over what i planned. and then i won't be tired again to sleep until...5am again.

well, i think today is going to be a good day. i just decided that. i'm having fun so far. i'm on another Twitter Fake Vaca. it makes me really excited and i kind of feel lame for getting so excited. but then i get happy that i am excited by so little. it's a good way to be.

also, i was thinking about those three Crash Kings shows in august and how much THEY WILL ROCK. 3 shows in 3 days!!!!! mmmmm it sounds so good.

actually, that's the real reason why i couldn't sleep last night. because i was so excited for the Crash Kings show over a month away. yep. not only am i easily excited, but i am pathetic.

so, it's 9:44am. i've only seen one other person here. and i've only taken one phone call. easy breezy.

what else can i tell you??

it looks like it's going to rain. it's pretty dark outside. LAST NIGHT we had thunder! but no rain! it was creepy!

i guess i could actually go do something productive and work on the website. i worked on it for a few hours the other night and then got frustrated and stopped.

alright. i think i'll go try and tackle the site.

have a great day!!! on this great day!!!!!

i'm going to do these things today:

1. go to the post office (because i didn't yesterday)
2. go to the grocery store
3. make pad thai

awesome!!!!

talk to you later!!!
