After losing the debate with myself to call in work, I drag myself to the mirror in the bathroom and what do I see?  My hair flat on both sides so I&#8217;m staring at myself lookin like a jamacian frankenstien.  So I slide into my old man green sweater and my trusty Rocawear jeans (I know, I&#8217;m cool).  I  make a run to the bus stop only to remember that if I don&#8217;t take the garbage to the curb they won&#8217;t take it so I do my garbage man duty and run to the bus stop only to miss it by seconds.  You win this round #30!  So I roll into work late but at least JV was on the bus when I got on.  Work was a bitch, class was its mom.  I got to go with the awesome LG (Laurie Genske for those that ain&#8217;t cool enough to know).  She treated me to noodles and we talked about everything as usual.

Johnnie bought me some apple pie ice cream and &#8220;I do believe it was good&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alarm woke me up @ 6:30 and then again @ 7.
