The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

Sleep has got to be the devil’s most fiendish plot. Few things feel as good as putting your head on that pillow, closing your eyes, and letting the dreary damnation of the day slip away.

But you always pay for it in the morning.Insomnia is clearly the better deal. At least you know you’re going to feel shitty, but you get that second wind.

No. With sleep you drift off and it’s all good times. You get that warm feeling. And then the sky begins to lighten. And then you’re ripped from sleep by the noxious blarings of your alarm clock like an aborted fetus from a womb.

No.I’m not bitter at making procrastination an art form. Writing 1,000 words in 4 hours–admittedly wasting 2 hours cheating on the paper with the Internet like Hugh Grant with a cheap call girl–isn’t bad. No, the bad part is getting the assignment at the beginning of the term and then waiting until 14 hours before it’s due to start any work on it. Then staying up ’til 3 a.m. to get the fucker done. And then being so wired from all the no-doz, jolt, and double shot espressos that you can’t fucking fall asleep.

No, wait, the worst part is the fact that the paper had to be written about Saul Bellow.But then again, better to be a college student than just about anything else.

Holy shit, that makes me feel better. My life is infinitely easier than almost everyone else’s. Ha.

Rants? I should be in raves, bitch. Now where’s my pacifier?”

  1. OMFG another rantWe want stories of insane naked debauchery, not stories about sleep!But seriously I can relate. I still start major projects way later than might be optimal.That’s why my supah secred death ray isn’t on the market yet. Yea.

  2. Well…Insomnia isn’t really that great. Trust me.By the way, never mix an unhealthy case of insomnia with 3 pills of No-Doz. That was easily the worst night/day/night of my life ever.

  3. mini forum, hehIt is strange typing on this little pop up window, kinda gay really.Anyhow, waiting until the last minute is my way of life, unfortunately.
