The Daily News
1 I overslept!!!!
2 All bets are off on this DN today.
3 Last night I wrote one that was pretty lackluster, so I thought I'd get up WAY early and hammer out something better.
4 Ironically, I was sort of boasting about how I was finally getting early-to-bed; early-to-rise, and FINALLY sleeping through the night.
5 I even thought that I had FINALLY found the cure for insomnia!
6 Well, I sort of did. I slept RIGHT through the night and RIGHT through the morning!
7 It's funny what happens then. I get frantic, put my pants on backwards and button my shirt so that the right side is seven inches lower than the left.
8 I squeeze my tie so the knot shrinks to this dinky triangle.
9 The tie goes down to my knees.
10 Two unmatched socks, one inside out.
11 Hair looks like Einstein.
12 A quick look in the mirror and I want a bill outlawing mirrors.
13 Undo everything, swing it all right, grab my bag, and a banana for lunch, and I'm out the door.
14 From there, it is triumphant. It is a slow race to get to work on time, but once I'm there, I'm amped and ready to rumble.
15 Because I slept through the night, had eight hours of sleep, and now I'm ready to take on the world.
16 I got my pants on straight, baby!
17 So I'm pumped, and all set to take on the world. I'm larnin' my students their fixin' to's today: I'm a fixin' to, you're a fixin' to, we're a fixin' to, and on and on.
18 Ain't that refreshing?
19 Have an AWESOME day everybody!
20 Peace, I'm outtahere!
