Class, I enjoyed reading your answers for the last assignment.  Some of you sound like you want to cook some great meals so you'll have to give me your name and address so I can show up unexpectedly and you can feed me.  I also am amazed by some of the foods others have eaten.  I know I answered that question but I just remembered something, limburger cheese.  The smell was awful but once you got past the smell you had an excellent cheese especially if you put it on rye bread with some fresh onions.  Anyway your grade is an A.  You can strive for a higher grade.

Now, here's your assignment for this week:

A.  

B. 

Now, get to work.

My answers: A.  Well I can't really be my own Valentine although I ended up being my own Valentine.

B.  Currently I have my media player on shuffle and the first song that ended while I was typing this was this one:

And the next song that played was not found on Youtube.  I'm going to upload it to Xanga tomorrow if the Xanga audio wants to work for once.  It's called "Girl From the North Country" and it's performed by Father Hennepin.  This is the original by Bob Dylan

I have always had issues with sleep.  So many times when I was a child I'd go to bed in my bed and wake up in various places throughout the house.  Then I think once I hit high school that stuff stopped although my roommates said I talked in my sleep and they had conversations with me about various topics.  One roommate said I was better at algebra while sleeping than when I was awake.  I didn't notice it much when I first started teaching although at that time I was battling insomnia.  There were a few times that scared me and it usually involved my front door and garage door being left wide open and my car being moved.  Lately I'm getting fearful of what I'm doing when I am supposed to be asleep.  Most mornings I'm waking up dressed in clothing I didn't have on when I went to bed.  Like I'll go to bed wearing sweat pants and a t-shirt.  I'll wake up wearing jeans, t-shirt, and hoodie.  There was one time I woke up wearing dress pants, button down shirt, and tie.  I've also noticed that my Blazer gets moved.  There'll be times when it's parked on the street or in my backyard.  There have been a few times when I've went to leave in the morning and I've found the back end loaded with folding chairs from various churches in town.  Well last night was the latest chapter of this bizarre behavior.  I had bought some Febreze yesterday afternoon while grocery shopping.  I can't remember what time I eventually went to bed last night but it late.  I think I was out before my head hit the pillows.  Anyway the next thing I know my mouth is burning.  I wake up and I'm sitting in my living room in front of my coffee table and in my hand is the bottle of Febreze.  I had gulped down about half of the bottle and my mouth was on fire.  I washed out my mouth as good as I could but it seemed that the more water I drank the more my mouth burned.  I drank some milk and that seemed to help a little.  I tried to go back to sleep but it was difficult to sleep thinking about how I just harmed myself.  I'm actually fearful of what may come next.  I did finally get to sleep and when I woke up my breath smelled like linen straight out of a dryer.  I also received a phone call from my mom asking why I called at 7AM to tell her that Lord Palmerston was the greatest prime minister of England.  I haven't even seen that episode of The Simpsons lately.  Maybe I got some Paranormal Activity shit going on with me.  I now swallow my saliva and I still have a hint of Febreze.  Even though that was so poorly written I assure you I'm fully awake.


I wonder if he eats there for free.

I think that would solve a lot of things.

Yes, solve a lot of things.  No wonder people hate science.

And because everyone seems to be talking about abortion...again

Worst.  Game.  Ever!

Yeah, this seems like an exciting game.  I bet the the final achievement is called "Raging Boner".

And then my wife curled up into a fetal position when she realized that the Swedes at IKEA were punishing her with their easy to assemble furniture.

Not so easy now is it Adele?

I bet that guy is popular with the ladies.  I wonder how often he has to change his car battery.

I watched the Celebrity Apprentice this evening.  Is it weird that I knew most of the guys without having to see a name but I had no clue who a majority of the women were?

I should invest in a tombstone with all my sleep drinking shenanigans.  I don't think Febreze is good for you.  I won't tell you the side effects I've been having other than the fresh breath.  Why does the tombstone say that?  I have two cats.

Whitney Houston will be greatly missed.
