Last week I had the strangest dream...

Monday, April 27, 2009 | | 0 Comments

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but I (usually) like to have the song playing match the recent entry that accompanies it. Mostly to let people hear the music playing when I'm writing it, or set the right tone. So yeah, if you're not already. Play that stuff. Then read on.

I woke up about an hour ago. Sans alarm. Just normal, body-waking-up mechanism, (along with the intense need to pee like a racehorse) which actually was sort of nice. It's been kind of a chilly morning, which I kinda like. That along with the Postal Service, has sent me into a flashback. Back. Junior Year. 7:40AM. When I'd blearily wake up, roll out of bed, and just haphazardly get ready for school. Out the door by 7:53. Take a brisk walk down Alameda Ave towards campus, mp3 player plugged to my ears, as I went to first period French. And the song, "Sleeping In".
Nice song to wake up to, and try to wake up my brain. also because, I really did want to sleep in.

But look at it further, and its lyrics are about a simpler world. I'm sure everyone wishes Life would be simpler.

"Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed...

No concerns about the world getting warmer
People thought that they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November

Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in . . .
Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in . . .
Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in . . . "
