COUNTDOWN TO GREATNESS

I had another incredibly vivid nicotine patch induced dream last night that I was The Human Torch from the Fantastic 4 and we were fighting a gigantic, building-sized alien (why do I have so many dreams about fighting aliens?) that the government had captured and were keeping in a huge cage/laboratory--but at a certain point I realized that it was a dream, and I started flying all over the city under my own control, so beautiful and wonderful--definitely a lucid dream--but it only lasted a short amount of time before I woke up suddenly, at 4 in the morning

didn't do any writing or reading, got stoned and watched Obama's State of the Union address--I have gotten stoned for EVERY SINGLE STATE OF THE UNION address since the Clinton years when I was in high school, I haven't missed one in more than ten years, it's my awesome tradition

impression of myself watching this year's speech: (rubbing chin, looking thoughtful) "hmm...why yes, I do agree that Congressional insider training should be banned, good one, Obama...Afghanistan and such hmm...OH SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH JOHN KERRY'S FACE?...hmm, taxes and such, very interesting..."
