Lots to Cover....

Too much to cover...so this may take a few days. especially considering the fact that I can no longer motivate myself to do work. But...Thanksgiving was great. I will do that post later. I don't feel like going in depth at the moment.

For now...instead...I will ask the simple question....Why don't we as a society and a people ever address how weird it is that we lay in the dark with our eyes closed for approximately 8 hours every night?? This is weird. I think about sleep a lot now that I rarely get any and that the babies around me get way too much:) I just don't get how the concept of sleep started in the first place? How much sleep do you think happens on Mars? I am gona guess not that much...considering that they are all busy planning how to take over the Earth. But...sleep is just crazy to me. Last night...by the way, I'm one of the most stressed yet sound sleepers you will ever meet. I move a lot, sit up, talk and do who knows what while also laying in a state of utter sleep. You cannot wake me up no matter what happens. However...last night...I was kicking around, perhaps running in my sleep becuase I dream about running a lot...and due to my lack of intelligence had my retainer case with my retainers still in it becuase I fell asleep before puttin them in laying on the bed...and I kicked the retainer case off the bed, along with the remote to the TV that was blasting in my room (again, because I just collapsed and fell asleep on my bed last night). And it made an AWFUL loud noise and woke me up. I kinda remember being somewhat conscious while I was kicking around but thats only because I woke up from the loud crash of things falling and breaking on the ground. This is weird. Again, really weird. What is sleeping? I mean I get it, I went to school, I'm not an idiot. I get the whole REM cycle crap but really...how does it all work? and WHY do we just lay there and have these special rooms dedicated to sleep. Why don't we have one special room dedicated to eating...oh wait...we do...kitchens. Ok nevermind.....

ANother point I wanna make. I was watching the DRs show on tv today while I was running on the treadmill. It was about Sleep Eaters. Now...I want to put a camera in my apartment because I am most definitely a candidate for this type of disorder. I bascially eat in my sleep already. I woke up the other night from falling asleep on the couch...was walking up to my room (this was at home home, not in my apartment) and proceeded to eat a banana on my way up. I was hardly awake...theres no way I needed food at that moment....but I think I have a sickness when it comes to food. 

Ok..this has been pointless but I was thinking about it a lot today.

OH one more thing....thisAWFUL girl in the Emerson gym today was doing one of those ab weight things where you sit and twist side to side to work out your obliques. She was listening to her ipod, sure, but she was twisting a full 180%. If any of you work out and/or have a brain, this machine is for EACH side of your stomach at a time. You are not supposed to do a full rotation....the weights slam down when you get to the middle and as this dumb girl was going back and forth and LOUD LOUD LOUD weight-slamming sound ocured. She not only was bothering me because she wasnt taking notice of the noise...but she just kept doing them...for over 4 mintues!!!! THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE.

Ok...I;m done venting. Oh wait, no I'm not. Another gym observation. And another reason I ask myself everyday in the gym "Why is this person working out?"    He was wearing a t-shirt with some alternative band's picutre on the front, brown courduroy's (I cant spell that), black k-swiss shoes or something of that nature, and listening to an ipod. He was on the leg press, lifting less than I do (which is sort of a lot for my size but....not a lot by any means at ALL) at a really rapid rate. He did one set of maybe 11 reps then lay there for about 4 minutes watching TV and did it again but this time maybe 8 reps. Pointless. Please move Sir, while I get stronger than you.

People are so annoying! Where are the exercise room police when you need them? Courteroies (don't know how to spell it either)should be outlawed all together. "Weight bangers" should have their ipods revoked.
When you get old and fat, you also slobber in your sleep. Really gross!

haha i love the "Please move Sir, while I get stronger than you."

at least if you watch tv continue to do something like walk on the stair master or something. dont just sit and watch tv..while at a gym.
