Rain Rain Go Away

It's that time of the year where it rains like crazy.  Normally I'm a fan of rain and thunderstorms.  That is up to a certain time of the day.

When I first moved down here it was the fall.  It didn't rain much at first so, like a normal person, I slept in my bed.  It was brand new, but that doesn't matter since it's a Select Comfort bed.  Still takes some time to get it just right though.

Then it started to rain.  The window sill for the window in my bedroom is metal.  When it rains, it patters rather loudly.  Now, I use to be someone that could sleep through anything.  I slept during a hail and wind storm in a travel trailer with two shaking dogs.  I didn't know about it until the next morning.

But this very focused sound makes it nearly impossible to fall asleep if it's raining before I'm asleep.  It's ok if I'm already asleep, but I don't sleep through the night anymore so the first time I wake up to see what time it is, I'm not getting back to sleep.

To counter this, I sleep on the couch.  This for the first few years was where I was for most of the years.  I got used to it to the point that sleeping on the bed was weird.  Summer is almost a necessary as I can't get the air conditioning into the bedroom so it's too hot to sleep.  So I sleep on the couch with a fan blowing on me and the air conditioning going at full blast.

This last fall and winter I finally decided to try sleeping in my bed consistently.  It was wonderful.  I got so used to it that now we're back in the rainy season, it saddens me knowing that my time in my bed is soon to be over with for more than half a year.  It's like being told to sleep on the couch by mother nature.  I don't even get any make up anything.

So when you're sleeping in your bed at night, know that I'm probably sleeping on my couch.  Enjoy your slumber knowing that I wish I could be in own bed sleeping comfortably.  You're a monster!

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
