Thursday Top 10 Lists_ Reasons to Get Up Early

The name of this blog "The Daily Vampire" does not stem from the fact that I turn into a bat and suck blood from people's necks, but rather because I simply do not keep normal hours. I teach in the afternoon, so I have developed a habit of going to bed late and then in turn getting up some time after 9 a.m.

So, today, I am starting my Thursday Top 10 list with 10 Reasons to Go to Bed (In reverse order):

10. Charlie Rose stimulates the mind too much, and his show can cause one to feel obliged to read books or magazines they don't have time for anyway.

9. They will play the same crappy songs you listen to on the radio during the day- there will just be more annoying ads.

8. You can get in those laps at the local YMCA pool that you continously neglect.

7. They will still not know if Tom Perriello won his seat over that fill-in-the-blank Cong. Virgil Goode (R-Va) when you wake up (Tom is up by 31 votes. It is one of the very few undecided races from yesterday in the whole country).

6. You can spend less time staring at the ceiling and asking yourself ridicilious questions, like "What if I had gone out with Amanda or Dawn in college? Or Laura in high school? Or that girl in third grade whose name you have forgotten."


5. You can eat Special K and Grape Nuts at a normal hour.

4. You can see movies which will actually cultivate you as opposed to something like "Werewolves on Wheels."

3. You can waste valuable hours of daylight blogging just as well.

2. There is no need to read "Naked Lunch" for a seventh time, is there?

1. There is a chance you might actually remember the dream you had about making love to Natalie Portman.
