Fuck this morning

I wake up suddenly at 3 in the morning. There is no reason for it. My nose is running, my heart is racing faster and faster every minute and throat was making me cough like a horse. My allergies have caught me at the worst time as did something else. I was wide awake and confused.

I was so confused that if you were to open a page in my sketch pad and to smack me in the face with it, you would find my goofy face on that very page. Surely that page would go down in art for surrealism.

For hours I tossed and turned with my eyes closed, irratated and annoyed. My allergies were bothering me and the lack of sleep was following behind it. My alarm clock on both my phone and radio went off. Waking me up, both were silenced.

Around 5:23 I found how fed up I was and I headed downstairs to pump myself with meds, by 6 I hoped to be completely medicated to the point of no return.

While navigating through darkness of my house I noticed the lack of a certain smell. The coffee pot wasn't on, though the timer was set to start ten minutes earlier. Only later would I find out what was actually happening. I took two allegra d and went back to tossing and turning for a few more hours.

I was awaking and wishing that either my house was hit by an atom bomb or that I could go back to the point where I was told by this lovely dame to take allergy medicine before I went to bed. Should have listened to her, but I was being stubborn for some reason that day.

It was like clock work, it would squirm around under my covers then my phone's alarm would go off. Torture on a mental scale. I didn't know whether to get up and get an early start on my day or to keep myself in bed until 6:19. I did the latter of the two.

When it was time to get up I wasn't in the right mood, I'm still not in a good mood. I got dressed and went downstairs to drinking a cup of black coffee. Strong and bitter, set my ass straight with a cup or two. Another horrible part of my morning was right there again. The coffee pot, to my dismay wasn't emitting that smell I love to be greeted by every morning. I turn on the kitchen light to see what was wrong. The counter was swamped in a brown water, the the lid to the filter was partially open, the coffee pot wasn't filled all the way but only to the two cups mark.

When I opened the lid to the filter I seen that something had made the coffee maker explode, sending bits of wet coffee grinds and about 10 cups worth of water on to the counter and all over the coffee pot itself. It was a horror.

If, one day, I were to wake up one day to my car demolished, my cats set ablazed, my dogs being used as horses by gnomes and all of my books turned into mulch. Coffee would probably be the only thing that would keep me from breaking down and destroying everything I can before the police taser me down.

Luckily, the coffee pot had some coffee in it. I had two cups of black dirt grind to keep me tethered to my sanity but it wouldn't keep my mood leveled out. Sadly it's going to take a lot more to make me feel better.

I look in the mirror, my eyes looked like they were punched out. It added to how shitty I felt. On the drive to school I thought over my entire morning and remembered- the day has just started. If I get another ounce of bad news then fuck me..

Secret Recipes To Try At Home

Kony Karnage!

A week ago I was informed of a video about a man called Joseph Kony, a Ugandan warlord who had abducted children and made a massive army out of them. Brainwashing them to be soldiers. Horrible shit.

After being told about the video from a good friend of mine I thought little of it. Even though she called him "black Hitler", that sort of caught mein attention.

Literally after an hour she told me about Kony I check out my Facebook and seen the documentary reposted for about a few hours. When I got home from a rehearsal for a play I got on to my friend's page and checked out the thirty minute video. After I was done watching it I went to the website and signed up. Now, I know what you may be thinking and no, I'm not fully into this whole Invisible Children thing. Kony has been in the news before.

I signed up to see if this whole thing will work and to see if I can get some stickers and posters that I can put all over my friend's car since he really hated the flood of Kony 2012 posts on Facebook. I will agree with him though, they did get annoying, but I couldn't care much about it since there were some funny posts and of course, funny internet memes:

I found this to be somewhat funny....

Yes, I guess you could. Needs to be an awfully big pub...

That's... wow...actually kinda hidious...clever but wow..

Then there's the My Little Kony thing but I could give two shits about that. This whole thing is a mess of a news story. Kony has been doing this whole child army business for years but now, finally people notice and go after him. What does he do? Kony hears about the U.S. becoming involved (some how) and changes tactics and goes into Osama-style hiding.

Before I go, here's a question. When he's killed and all the children are returned home. They are brainwashed to be soldiers, to kill. Even some are brainwashed into be sex slaves. How will they fit in when the return? Will there be help for them?
