I wrote this post a while ago and for some strange/odd/weird/confusing/unclear reason, I didn't post it. I have no idea what compelled me to say, "Ehh. I can post it later..." Just never got around to it. So here it is. Finally. Enjoy!
(Please note that at the time of posting, I did not just wake up from a two and a half hour nap. All these events happened roughly a week and a half ago.)
I just woke up from an accidental two and a half hour nap. Again, did not feel like P Diddy. Last semester, I had a ping pong date with a friend every week. She plays tennis, I somehow picked up ping pong somewhere. Just like mono. Still trying to figure both those out... Anyway, since we have yet to play pong (ping pong, not beer pong- just saying) this semester, I suggested we play a little later tonight. have been on her ass about this game for a week. It needs to just happen. I kept on telling her that Thursday would be perfect, but she has a midterm mañana. As a side note, all day I have been feeling exhasuted--I definitely did not get sufficient sleep last night. So I texted her earlier saying I was tired and I might go to bed early, thus postponing our pong game one more day. She said that we'll just find another time to play. At this point, I took the accidental nap, and here is the rest of the post nap textual conversation:
Me: Just text me if you want to play. Took a really long nap. Oops
Her: Haha nice... Slash not good if you actually need to get sleep tonight. But yes, I shall text you if I can play
Me: I will. I'm still tired.
Her: Suppose that's one of the perks of mono lol
Me: Fuck you! I don't have mono anymore!
Her: Oh please I'm just telling you want you already know but choose to selectively deny... Particularly on weekends haha
Me: Exactly.
I would just like to clear up some dirty/smoggy/foggy/unclear/cloudy air. I am pretty sure that I am done with mono. It has definitely been longer than 30 days from when I started feeling symptoms (mid/late January, and it's already March) and I feel fine. I would like to make one thing clear, tiredness is a side effect of mono, but--as we learned in psychology--correlation does not mean causation: just because someone is tired doesn't necessarily mean they have mono.
Your moment of zazen.
I have had many heated debates with my younger brother, David, about many things. The most recent has been Leno v. Conan, where he sides for the former and I side with the latter. Having been a stern Conan fan for many years and proudly owning a "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" T-Shirt, I argued that this was his next big step moving to The Tonight Show, a place where Leno's comedy died. Sorry Leno, your chin gets in the way of shit, and Coco has the hair you wish you had. Anyway, I recently stumbled on a very interesting Twitter account.
Conan O'Brien has found his inner Twitter. His daily (and sometimes bi or even tri-daily twittering/tweets/tweeting/tweeterings are absolutely hilarious. I urge you to check it out ASAP: www.twitter.com/conanobrien
As today as 3/14, happy Pi day! For those that are confused, Pi=3.14159265...
Also, tomorrow is 3/15, better known as the Ides of March. As Brutus and someone else (blanking on the name) warns Julius Caesar to "beware the ides of march" in Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar." I have two midterms tomorrow...on March 15, which is the ides of march. Shit.
