this is joe: today, i woke up at like 3:30, which is not healthy for me at all. last night, i left home after chillin like a villain at j9s, when i got a tight ass prank call from her loser boyfriend...it scared me. the voice had a hermaphrodite-ical ring, kind of like my voice, and the person tried to seduce me. i'm easy...but i'm not that easy- like Tammy easy. so anyway, i went back home before my midnite curfew so my mommy woudln't raise holy hell...well, my mom doesn't do that...but i talk like she does for dramatic purposes. so i go home, and i'm feeling a little bit sleepy around 2...and of course, i can't sleep. my body is f-ed up like a mother and the biological clock that tells me to go to sleep doesn't kick into action until i hear birds chirping and its dawn outside. i flipped through my memory book, and read the wills and shit. i'm glad its all over...but i just don't think HS memories will resonate with me as well as everyone talks about it. my MLK career was cool for 6 years, but i'm on to bigger and better things: e.g. Yale, legal age, amateur pornos like Ed Hanfeldt...my hero. o yeah, so anyway, i flipped and flipped and tried to look at every picture when i decided that i should probably try to go to sleep again. so, i have discovered a way to help me fall asleep when its time to go to bed. (o wait...did i forget to mention that i watched the National Spelling Bee on Channel 11 for about an hour, waiting for the girl from MLK to mess up so i could go to bed; some words i remebered: chignon, parorexia...etc.) so what i did to make myself fall asleep: i close my eyes and think of a word: for instance, "appreciation." and i take each letter and thing of a special way for it to make an entrance into my black screen of sleep. for example, A would fly into the screen of my psyche like a rocket shit. P would tumble down like its falling from a hill. the next P would grow like a tree, and the R would jump around like a trampoline...and yeah, for some reason. that puts me to sleep. thank god Tammy suffers from the same inability to sleep at a normal time condition. i don't feel so alone. i'm out! bye...thanks for stopping bye!
