I should say
That will be the only time that i write about politics here. I usually don’t like discussing those things, but I felt like it this time. More silliness and whatnot henceforth…
Am I happy this healthcare bill passed?
Yes, very. I’m not happy because I’m a Democrat; I’m not happy because I’m a liberal, or because I voted for Obama. I’m not celebrating a victory for my party. This is a victory for me, and for my family. We are now finally able to have health insurance.
My parents are business owners. They run their own advertising agency, and they run it well. The two of them of...

– I saw this sixties British film last night which quoted this part of King Richard II. I wish I loved something like Shakespeare loved England.

New Project
I have (predictably) decided to discontinue my sleep log, out of boredom and fear of my subconscious.
Instead, over the next week, I will be counting down two separate (but equal) lists of my celebrity crushes; an all-time list of 6 women from past eras, and a modern list of 4 famous females.
The countdown will commence tomorrow.

The Night of Feb 1-2
Time: 2 a.m. - 9 a.m.
Dream: It took pace in a rehab clinic, in a building of about 10 stories. It was snowing, and everyone was looking for one of the patients, Pete Doherty/Bono (it would change between the two). My role was more observant, rather than participatory. In the stairwell, I find Doherty/Bono on the run. He makes it to the roof, jumps, and survives the fall. I chase him through the...
The Night of January 31 - Feb1
Time: 2 a.m. - 7 a.m.
Dream: Two other people and I kidnap a child/basketball (I’m not sure which one), which we subsequently lose. We naturally decide to re-kidnap him/it. At one point, Kait is driving a car that she named after Justin Timberlake. Me and my cohorts begin running hand-in-hand down the interstate in an attempt to find our crafty Spalding-boy hybrid.
Rate: 6 (unremarkable)

The Science of Sleep
So, last night was the best night of sleep that I’ve had in awhile. It was just good, solid sleep. But, when was the last night I had sleep that was as good, or better? I spend a good fraction of a 24 hour day asleep and dreaming; yet, how much of this time (valuable, but enigmatic) do I actually know and understand?
Well, I figure an interesting project would be to begin logging and...

Playing “On to the Next One” and it was my favorite part. Fantastic!
This is just like when I saw future Josh driving the same make/model car. Soo Tralfamadorian…
