I always come up with the bestest, most inspiring, prolific, awesomesauce blog entries seconds before I fall asleep.

The problem with this, of course, is that I don’t REMEMBER any of these ideas. I can’t even recall the epic “24″ dreams I’m usually having when my fiancee wakes me up at the crack of 8:30am to go to work.

(Kiefer Sutherland is REALLY short.)
Since I can’t remember the ideas, I have no idea if they are REALLY as brilliant as they are at the time I think them up or if they’re just a complete load of crap formed in a semi-sleep state.
A few years ago, I tried to solve this problem by putting a notepad and pen on the end table next to my bed. That way, I could write down these prolific blog post ideas, see?
One other problem I forgot to mention – I have the handwriting of a 4 year old with Parkinson’s. My sister blames this on me being one of those “awkward, backwards left-handed weirdos.” But really, I’m just too lazy for penmanship. Also, awkward and left-handed. Therefore, while my normal, awake hand-writing at best looks like THIS:

The notes I scrawl in my sleeping stupor come out like this:

I guess I’ll never be a brilliant blogger.

Me likey! I hope no left-handed people are too terribly offended by my comments. You’re mostly just awkward, the left-handedness is the icing on the cake. You are so cute though!!!
