What happened on Thursday June 14th?

Nic has a post about sleep. As I said to her, I've had a very hard time sleeping for a very long time. I used to do evenings and overnights at the Radio Sations I worked for. I learned to get a few hours during the day and that was it. It's been over ten years since I've worked in radio and I still have a hard time falling asleep early and by early I mean before 1 a.m. I usually get up at 6:30 a.m. feeling okay, but if I go to bed before midnight and sleep past 6:30 I wake up feel like crap. Well today I feel awesome. Last night I had TaiKwonDo (sparing night), sweated like a pig but came home feeling great. Before I went to bed at 12:30 (early for me) I did my 50 pushups and 50 leg raises and fell asleep like a rock. I woke up at 4 a.m., feel back asleep, and woke with the alarm at 6:20 a.m. Got up watered the gardens, made lunch, and was just smiling. I honestly feel great and haven't felt this good in a long time. Good Morning.

How have you been sleeping?

By the way, if your like me and love music. I have found that there is a large number of bloggers posting MP3s on their blogs. Now there is the whole thing of the artists right to be paid for what they create and the record companies right to be paid for what they produce. I don't want to get into that arguement right now. I just want to say I have found some great blogs to read with a fringe benefit. Check out the new blog roll in my side bar, "Music & MP3 Bloggers". Go through them give them a read and if your inclined, download something you like, but always remeber to support the artists by either going to their concerts or buying the tunes.
Last night at Press Random posted the orgionals for some of the songs that the Clash coverd. Go and check them out. And if you have iTunes, sign up for the Strange Reaction Podcast.

Listening to: Supertramp, Dreamer Live at Queen Mary's College.

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
OH NO!
