Sleeping Beauty

So there I am, off in dreamland. Then I am awoken to the sound of "Luuuuukenbach Texas, Luuuuukenbach Texas, wah wah wah" I gasp awake realizing that I am not listening to my usual morning "try to wake me up" CD. I fall back asleep after 30 seconds, depressed that I am listening to country music. Apparently yesterday at guy’s night Peetey decided to pull a fast one and switched out my guitar CD with a country CD. The horror, the horror. I am the heaviest sleeper I know. I once slept through a fire alarm in my dorm room. They had to come into my room and shake me awake as the alarm was blaring, right above my bed. In college I used to love getting a good 12 hours sleep. Now I am down to 7 1/2 hours but I am so tired in the morning I can barely get up. Peetey does call me every morning to try to wake me up. For some reason the phone ringing seems to work the best. I guess its cause I am thinking I have to wake up to answer the phone. I have tried many things and had many things tried on me. When I was a kid my mother would come into my room and flip the lights on and off repeatedly. My stepfather would pour beer on my head or water if he was nice. Peetey would stop by sometimes and scream high school cheers at me."Hey Freshman! Getup Getup Getup Getup!" When I got in the workforce I tried every radio station I could think of. I even tried country, but I ended waking up depressed. I tried Tejano and ended waking up confused. Classical was a no show. Classic Rock was good, but I had heard those songs before. Talk Radio was terrible. I don't like that anyways. Finally I created a very good wakeup CD. It starts off very light. I never hear it start up. In the middle I have guitar shredding music with the G3 album going. Then towards the end I have music that blares and tries to wake me up. The big problem is that after a year that has lost its luster. Country music, egad, Peetey I shall get you back...

Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.

Comments:
I couldn't help myself. I've been thinking about doing that ever since I started giving you wake up calls. I wish I could've seen your face when you realized what you were listening to. I laughed while making the cd, driving to your house, and then again on the way home. There were a few songs on there that you might actually like. One is the theme from "Smokey and the Bandit." Don't destroy the CD. I'll get over there this weekend and swap it out.
