Today, for me is Thomas Edison day. Not because I am appreciating all that this great man invented, or all the discoveries he has made. Nope, I'm declaring this day Thomas Edison day because like him, today I have only slept for a small amount of time through out the day.


Last night I stayed up until 5:30 doing.. Well, I would like to say homework, which in part is true, but I mostly spent that time on facebook and then Myspace. Just to give you a little perspective, I haven't been on Myspace in at least a year, probably more like three since the last time I was seriously on it. But I had to get up at 7:30 for class at 8am. So, I decided that I would sleep on the futon and get well I guess it can be called a nap. No R.E.M. sleep for me. So the homework that I did do, probably wont stick in my brain for very long.

I thought that this decision would be a really bad one. However, I didn't fall asleep in all my classes like I thought I would. Actually, I was super attentive, even in classes that I normally, well, fall asleep in.

I took another nap before dinner, it was much harder to get up after this one, but it wasn't bad once I got my body moving again. Right now I am feeling a bit more tired then I usually do. This is to be expected, I will probably sleep really well tonight, getting that much need R.E.M. sleep. Entering into sleep stage 5.. which is the highest level of deep sleep in levi's endless knowledge book. But, it has been and interesting day, showing that maybe short naps at night and during the day help me pay attention and get more stuff done. Maybe thats wrong, and I know that it can't go on for more then two days. But, it is working pretty well.

Other exciting things that happened today are:
1. Dryer was almost burned down buy a kitchen arsonist. No one knows who left the kettle on the stove top, but they made a ridiculously bad decision by not attending to their hot water. Consequently, setting the stove on fire. Luckily Ryan Staley saved the day with a large bucket of water. Even better is that the fire alarm failed to go off, so I didn't have to go stand in the rain, yet I doubt that I will be able to sleep at night knowing that Dryer 1 has faulty Smoke detectors.
2. Leah started her job today at Treesdale. I'm so very proud of her. Go LEAH!!
3. Leah isn't feeling well today, really sick apparently. This makes me worry a bit, but she is a tough cookie and went to work anyway.
4. The Penguins won their home opener against the Rangers 3-2!
5. Chicago was the first city turned down for the 2016 Olympics, I knew it. Way to waste all that money on signs the size of buildings.
6. I got a free mug from the Moody Alum.!
7. I am still awake at 10:10 waiting for my beautiful girl friend to get off of work and call me... and now that I think about it, I'm still rather attentive.

That's all that really happened to me today.

I'm an extremely blessed individual, thank you Jesus.
