So we eat on average...

I read tonight that people actually are fearful of eating a spider while they sleep..

First of all, who could be afraid of anything while your passed out. You wouldnt even know if you ate a spider, period. If they even had a taste, youd probably chock that up to morning breath and go rinse your mouth with chemicals worse for you than the spider.

Secondly there are something like millions and millions of microscopic bugs sleeping in your bed with you. Does it matter? do they really bother me? I cant see them, and they dont affect my sleeping experience (yes, I know that they are an allergen to some people but by golly thats what plastic sheets are for!).

To me sleeping is an absolute form of freedom. Our brains are literally free of outside influence, and can go off to wherever it wants. Whats the easiest (most painless) way to die? in your sleep. If a nuclear bomb was to go off, would you rather be conscious, or sleeping underneath your blanket. Who cares what happens to you when your sleeping.

oh p.s. heres the original article about the spiders

whats the point in watching it? Every day its just story after story of death and destruction because seemingly our president has a bug up his ass and wont remove our troops. You know theres a word for how he feels, obsessed. I'm almost glad I have asthma so if there was a draft I could give a big fuck off to the enlistment board.

We need more dancing bears on the TV. And less reality TV. The only acceptable comprimise would be a reality show about dancing bears.
