Last night, after watching Arkansas-UNLV and Arizona-San Diego State, I decided to play a little Roller Coaster Tycoon. Before I knew it, it was 4:00 in the morning. I had no idea what time it was.

I love games like that.

I have re-learned that naps are A Good Thing ® I have mentioned before that I have not been sleeping well at night; however, this doesn’t seem to translate into the day. This is also A Good Thing.

Today, I got an e-mail from a reporter from the Dallas Morning News. They’re doing an article on a new fight song for Southern Methodist University that is debuting this year. I guess that someone found my fight song lyrics site, because tonight I found an e-mail message asking for an interview concerning fight songs and their histories.

So I’m going to be giving Dallas a call soon. Kinda cool, I think…

Just so you know…

• I’ve got contacts again.
• I’ve grown out my goatee.
• My hair is now cut so I can wear it to the front if I want.

In other words, I’m clean-cut no more. Well, at least until my first job interview. 🙂

My sister and brother-in-law came home for the weekend, so I came down as well. We played golf this weekend. I played 9 holes on Friday, and 45 yesterday. I am sunburned. My shoulders hurt. My fingers feel arthritic. I’m golfed out for awhile.

But now I’m back up here, resuming the job hunt, etc., etc.

Added a new insane thought.

I’ve added an objective statement to my résumé, if anyone cares to look at it. I’m starting to wonder if anyone does.

Just to name a few:

• Groomsmen singing songs you wouldn’t normally hear at a wedding (e.g. “Look Away” by Chicago) as if it was a church choir singing them.
• Various ideas for last-minute processional and recessional themes.
• Ricky and Tammy stories from olden days.
• One last Diet-Rite binge.
• More Simpsons quotes than should be allowed by law.
• Ricky’s brother playing 80’s TV themes and video game music on the piano. By ear. In chords.
• “It’s like unwrapping a present!”
• “I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty hungry!”

Right now, my sleeping habits are completely out of whack. I have been going to bed anywhere from 3 to 5 a.m., and getting up anywhere from 10 to 12 a.m. This is not good for someone who needs to get his body used to an eventual 10-11 p.m. to 6-6:30 a.m. sleep schedule.

So last night, in an effort to gradually get myself to that point, I voluntarily go to bed at 1 a.m. I fall asleep quickly (for me, anyway).

So when do I wake up today? 11:45!

Obviously, my body is missing the clue here. I’d go to bed at 10 tonight, but I’m afraid I might not get up until the next afternoon…
