I Want My Blankie


I wanna go to sleep. I'm sitting here at work right now and I can barely keep my eyes open. I wish I had a cool story to tell you as to why I am so tired, but I don't. What it is that is making me so sleepy is the pill I took two hours ago.

I get headaches. Migraines. They can get pretty bad at times. So I went to see a doctor. My doc was outta the office so I had to see someone else and he prescribed me Topamax to prevent my headaches. The problem with Topamax is that it makes you stupid. That was one of the biggest reasons why I decided to stop taking it. I couldn't spell. The easiest words, I'd have trouble spelling. In additions to being stupid, other reported side effects were:

  • Walking funny (yeah... walking funny)
  • Blood clots
  • Vision problems
  • Hallucinations (although that seems kinda fun)
  • Suicidal thinking
  • Kidney stones
  • Hemorrhoids (and that doesn't sound like a good time to me)
And a whole lot more...

So, I decided to head back and see my regular healthcare provider. She gave me a couple things to take... one is for when I get those migraines and the other was a pill to take everyday. Twice a day, in fact (I can't remember the name right now). The problem is that about an hour or two of taking it, I get sleepy. Whether I'm at work or at home on the couch watching TV, I get sleepy. And when I get sleepy, I wanna, well... sleep.


Now here's my problem... I'm at work. And the bosses don't like it too much when their employees sleep on the job. But I'm kinda curious to know what would happen if I did fall asleep here at work. Would someone wake me up? I bet Money would. He seems like the type of guy who would wake me up. Ya know, after taking a Sharpie to my face. And there's not a lot of places to run off to when a quick nap is all that's needed. There are a couple empty offices where one might be able to slip into but I don't think it'll be comfortable enough to sleep in. You'd have the constant worry that someone is gonna come pokin' around and find you sleeping peacefully under a desk.

So at this point, I think I'm screwed. I cant go home. I'm not sick so I can't exactly use that excuse. I just have to suck it up and stay awake. It's times like these that make me wish I worked for Google. Don't they have nap time or something??

Anyway... I need to get back to work. I'll blog about something a little more worth your time tomorrow.

Huh?

I actually saw this picture on the CNN website back in September when they we're reporting on Hurricane Ike...


I thought it was kinda funny (cause they were reporting on a hurricane and they had a picture of a dude pretending to be blown away... know what I mean?).

I know it's been a couple weeks since I last spit out a blog, so here comes a new one. Prolly nothin' to write home about, but whatever. I'm dying. I have a bad headache. But neither sleet or snow or wind or DUST is going to keep me from blogging today. The fact that I really have nothing to say isn't going to stop me either!

In my last blog, I mentioned my life long dream of having my pictures show up in Google Earth. Well, that dream is about to come true. A week ago, I found out that my pictures will be in Google Earth. Yippee. But they won't be up for a couple weeks. So, once they release the next update, while your cruisin' around Las Vegas, you'll be able to click on the little blue boxes and see some of my pictures.

Yeah, yeah, I know that's not exciting like winning the lottery but it's just kinda neat having your pictures out there where they can be seen by thousands of people. Know what I mean?

Aight, I gotta run... commercials need to be made. Me and the Money have vowed to blog at least once a week so make sure you check back often.

Peace...
