Thanks for all the nap time advice. Now I don't feel as crazy. Next time I'll set an alarm and try to cut it down to 45 mins. or less.
Had a long night last night. This video, aside from being wildly entertaining, sums up how I felt:
Film. Music. Laughs. (FML)

Nap Time
 |
| Why so serious...ly sleepy? |
The other night I closed and got off work around 2:30am (ish). Had a meeting the next morning at 8:50am (because 9:00 would be to much to ask for right?!?). By the time I got home, showered and finally knocked out, I'd say I got about 4.5 hours of sleep tops. Yes, I felt like a damn zombie the next day. Either way, afterward I had breakfast with some co-workers then headed home and SLEPT.
Problem is...I HATE taking naps! They make me feel like garbage after. So while that 3 hour nap seemed like a great idea, I wound up feeling more exhausted when I woke up later on. People think I'm nuts when I openly declare my disdain for napping.
What's your take? Do you people enjoy nap time? Am I insane or do I just need to perfect my napping technique?

Kids and Extreme Music
So little 8 year old Juliet created quite a internet sensation with her brilliantly amazing, "My First Hardcore Song" video on Youtube earlier this month.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching this. The trampoline breakdown & flying stuffed animals is the raddest thing I've ever seen in my life!
A lot of people were talking about this video last week. Everyone seemed to get a kick out of it and I see why, the girl is adorable. Of course some people seemed to dig it more than others. Normal folk without any knowledge of modern hardcore/metal see a little girl rocking out over some loud instruments and chuckle. What they don't seem to get are the major lulz derived from lil Juliet taking cliches from this music genre and showing just how ridiculous they really are.
The stuff she references like "opening up the pit," "getting your two-step on" and even singing about her most cherished friendships (replacing her "crew" with dog and fishes) are usually reversed for dudes like this...only they're dead serious when they do it!
Anyways, seeing Juliet's rapid rise to internet stardom reminded me of a video I saw years ago. Allow me to introduce, Death Metal Rosie!
Lol @ her coughing/spitting at the end! She's basically doing her best cookie monster impersonation...and it rules!
That's it. Kids listening to & loving metal/hardcore with their folks. Brings a smile to my face.

Cops Gone Wild? So This Happened...
Monday, Jan 23, 2012: Some whacked out dude with a crowbar/pipe starts smashing the windows of a local Carl's Jr. fast food restaurant. Patrons and employees flee the scene. The police arrive and order the man outside. Mr. crazy man exits, weapon in hand and takes a taser to the face without flinching. He then turns toward the officer who tased him which causes the other cop (who happened to be holding a k-9 police dog as well) to shoot him 5 times at point blank range. The first officer ditches his taser and then he fires another 5 five shots. Two cops (with a k-9!) shoot one guy 10x at point blank range...and it was all caught on video.
I used to eat at the Carl's Jr. just about every other day when I attended East Los Angeles Community College in the mid 2000's. That restaurant is directly across the street from campus. If it was a good day, I'd munch on some Carl's Jr. then head over to Tower Records and not catch up on readings. It's kind of surreal seeing something like this happen at one of my old haunts.
No doubt the guy was either insane or on drugs. He had a weapon and the instant he charged the first cop he basically sealed his own fate. But really...TEN SHOTS?! I'm not saying the cops should have tried mace or batons or mud wrestled the guy, they can shoot to kill if threatened. But one, two or three shots to oh I don't know, the face perhaps would have done the job right?
*WARNING*
Here is the FULL UNEDITED video.
*GRAPHIC*
10 rounds. Really? I think they were justified in shooting him...but even then, this is flat out overkill.
The guy died at a local hospital shortly after. Which was to be expected, after the cops turned his chest into Swiss Cheese.
