My first Migraine
This came during a school day after a night of very little sleep. Strobing bolts of light suddenly streaked across my right eye and I couldn't focus on anything. I couldn't read a single word and faces melted out of focus. Once that stopped the pain and nausea started. In short it freaked me out because I immediately diagnosed it as an inoperable brain tumor. It left me with sleep anxiety for the next few months. I associated the migraine with lack of sleep and so began obsessing about the time I spent sleeping. Have to get at least eight hours. The more I obsessed the less sleep I got. I haven't had a migraine since and I'm beginning to sleep better again.
My first Virginia 2nd Amendment-phile
One of my favorite Daily Show sketches is about open-carriers, that's grown men that walk around with a side arms as they go about their daily business (check out the sketch by clicking on the link at the bottom). I was at my favorite local coffee shop (Fairgrounds Coffee Co.) in Norfolk, VA and a early middle aged man with a 1950's crew cut, a beer gut, and shipyard mustache walked in with a holstered pistol and two clips. Ultimately, I'm cool with it. If we want to have abortions, gay marriage, and desegregated schools we have to let the right-wingers have their guns. Taking away their guns is like declawing a cat and throwing him into the wild. In order to make it to church, browse at Home Depo, and attend Tea Party Protests safely they must be armed to the teeth. www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon.../open-carrier-discrimination
My First 32nd Birthday
Fairly self-explanatory here. I fee no more mature or wise than I did when I was 22, or 12, or 2, or -10.
