Since the World Cup is sadly winding down… (damn you Germany! Go Netherlands!) I bring you Daniel Tosh’s amazingly awesome opinion on the sport of soccer:

Pet Peeve of the Day: LeBron James

Quote of the Day: ”Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.” — Dwight D. Eisenhower 

I’m the last person in the world to speak ill of sleeping but when it comes to napping, I can no longer bite my tongue. Since when did everyone start napping? And I don’t mean kids and the elderly, I mean my friends, my peers… people MY AGE.

I’ve never understood the nap. What’s so great about sleeping for 30 minutes? Because when I do it, I just wake up crabbier than when I went to sleep. If I fall asleep, it better be a duration of at least 8 hours, (preferably 12).

I get it that people get tired during the day. I do too. But since I’m an adult, I just power through. Because I don’t have time to take a nap, nor do I have a mother with a plate of cookies and milk waiting for me to wake up. You’re an adult, you can drink coffee, pour yourself a fuckin Red Bull and grow a pair.

Scientists and commies can sit here all day and tell me how valuable napping can be. But I’ll bet that a good nights sleep far outweighs the combo of no sleep plus a nap.

Why would I want to force myself to awaken from slumber twice in one day? Waking up once is enough for me–it’s certainly not the highlight of my day so I can’t imagine voluntarily deciding to repeat that procedure more than necessary.

And people that take naps on the WEEKENDS? It’s called SLEEPING IN; problem solved.

You’re probably thinking, I’m sure there’s some times you have slept during the day. And the answer to that would be yes, why of course I have. But these have not been naps. These instances have been the result of being sick: falling asleep due to cough medicine/Quaaludes/codeine/etc. or the result of day drinking: passing out. Not napping. Passing out. Those are the only two exceptions.

So if you call me during the day and I don’t answer, assume I’m either really sick or hammered drunk. Because otherwise I should be alert and ready during all daytime hours. Klinker on the other hand? Not so much. They’re called cat naps for a reason.

God I fucking love it when this blog writes itself. Especially when I’ve been neglecting it because I have been so incredibly busy. This time, our friend Fred took time out to spread a little cheer.

In regards to my High Life post, Fred noted that “Its edition not addition as in limited edition. hahah!” He is right. And I am beyond embarrassed by that gaffe.

So I went to email him to thank him for pointing that out, but its turns out “screwyou@high.com” is not a valid email address. So Fred if you’re reading, I thank you. And also, I thank you for the lengths you went to leave that post.

In your internet search of “high life” (which, bravo buddy, time well spent on the internet), my blog post came up. Except when you clicked on it through the search engine, you discovered that it was a password protected post. So you went up to the top of my page and clicked on the link to find out the password. You obtained the password, entered it, and were brought to a post you were hoping was relevant to your search. But it wasn’t, because of an especially egregious word mix-up. So I apologize to Fred, and all other readers.

But Fred, it’s dedicated readers like you that keep this blog running, so thank you.

P.S. It’s “it’s ‘it’s’ not ‘its’ as in IT IS”
