MMMM! SLEEP! Dreaming of the endless chores of everyday in a new and funny way makes life bearable. When I am sleeping, I see dogs talking, and people laughing, and I can FLY! But what is this nonsense. I am sleeping and all of the sudden, the nightmare begins. It starts off slow, and it creeps into my bones as I find myself falling into the endless pit of despair, and homework reason. Buzz, buzz, Buzz, BUzz, BUZz, BUZZ!!! What is this obnoxious feeling underneath my head? My eyes open suddenly, turning to see where I am and why my bed is shaking, and I realize: My alarm clock is the culprit. It has awoken me and sent me hurtling back into the world of reality and pain. It is almost time for class, and my alarm clock screams, it is time to get up, but I know better. It is not time to get up, thank Jesus, it’s time for… can you guess it? That’s right; we have a winner, the SNOOZE button. (Claps all around)
The alarm turns off and I slip out of reality again. Mountains of ice cream and hot fudge surround me. Chocolate falls from the heavens like rain and I open my mouth to taste. Then the earthquake starts again, and quickly I open my eyes for snooze number two. My eyes shut once more and I am dreaming once again of sleeping though my classes and just watching movies for the rest of the day. Sitting around eating Bon Bons, what a life! Alarm sounds again and it is time for snooze number three. This time, I am dreaming of walking in the woods. The sounds of nature overcome my mind and I hear the gentle song of the birds in a tune that sounds very much like the “Hallelujah” the Justin Timberlake version. A small smile begins to emerge on my face as I lie on the path that cuts through the beautiful treescape. Then once again my bed shakes. I found that I had hit rock bottom and then fell straight through to hell. And now I found myself drowning in my own wishing well. Praying for just one more hour of sleep, I throw open my eyes and greet the day. It turns out that it sleep is an escape from the world, but alarm clocks are the enlightenment that forces me to return to its destruction and mayhem. Just another day in college paradise, and now I can day dream through the rest of my life. I get up and the routine begins, living in a dream would be bliss, so snooze a bit, you’ll never know what scenes lie just behind your closed tired eyes. Sweet dreams!
