I hate the times where I lay down with the best intentions of staying awake yet my body doesn't follow that guideline. I got a bit too comfortable and about 1.5 minutes into the season finale of Psych and next thing I knew my room was flooded with daylight and there was an infomercial on TV. Strangely enough my first thought was "isn't 8:30 AM a bit late in the day for an infomercial?" I thought for sure USA network had some Coach reruns left in the tank to intersperse between the Law and Order marathons. I was a bit disgusted that I had slept my friday night away. I was even more disgusted that I had three missed calls. I guess it's time to choose a ringtone that's even louder and more raucous than Led Zeppelin's Kashmir.

When I tell people I've slept for 10, 12 or 15 hours or so they always say "you must have needed it." I hate that, well of course I needed it, but I really hate sleeping my life away. I always feel like I'm one broken alarm clock away from becoming Rip Van Winkle.

The exhaust pipe is falling off my car. It's falling towards the front so it's currently dragging on the pavement. So not only is my car loud it also has the added sound of dragging metal. If you're no stranger to my car troubles you know what this means. It's the time where I beg my mother to let me borrow her '95 Chevy Lumina minivan. This didn't bother me as much in high school but even soccer moms are driving around in much classier vehicles these days.

Hopefully I'll be back on the road in my own car on Monday, as for now I'll be driving around listening to cassette tapes. Maybe I can dig out my '80s mixtapes to put a smile on my face. Because nothing looks more ridiculous than a man driving a minivan with a smile on his face.

At the store we're selling shamrocks to support MDA. You know the cool ones you write your name on and then they get stapled to the wall? Well one of my favorite past times is filling in the blank ones with made up names or names of washed up celebrities. Well half of the blank ones this year have an "X" marked in the box, so I've taken to adding "Malcom X" or "X-files,""Xena" and "X-Treme!" to the "X's" just to jazz things up a bit.
