I should have taken some No-Doz...
I realize that I've already written once today but dog on it! Blog is some fun stuff. Not to mention that my earlier post was done when I was on the eastern part of the state. I am currently in the central at my little home town in Johnston County.
For those of you familiar with the state you know there is generally one good way to get from point A) Wilmington, to point B)Nearish Raleigh.
YOU TAKE I-40
If you answered that correctly this asterisk [*] is for you. Don't spend it all in one place...
Now, as you all probably know, driving on an interstate for any period longer than 1 hour starts to make you sleepy. In fact, I'm pretty sure there was a German somewhere that calculated the average to be 58 minutes and 44.32 seconds. Perhaps he was in Germany. That may mean its only accurate for the autobahn but I'm sure our figure is roughly the same. Well, Random German's Law, (as I will now refer to it), took its effect on me quite punctually today. It seems for the first hour you can keep yourself awake pondering the sheer stupidity of the other hundreds of drivers around you. After a while, though, this curiosity briefly turns into depression, and then to sleepy thoughts. Before you know it, you're shifting your eyes to look at your passenger side mirror and they start rolling back into your head. It's like WOAH, none of that. This happens a couple of times, after which you turn on some really hard rock music. Success for around 30 seconds, then the steady beat of the drums and total wailing on the guitar mutates into a lullaby. Of course there is always the "INTENSE STARE". You know, where you act like you're staring really hard at the road to keep your eyes open when in reality you're thinking about that dryer sheet teddy bear, Sunggles, and pretending you on a fluffy pink cloud. When I reach this point I usually resort to slapping myself.
Really hard.
Usually a couple of times.
Right
So if you guys ever want to go on a long road trip just let me know...
