Counting sheep and Pimped out cars

Note: This blog is nothing close to serious so if youre looking for a good thought of the day.....maybe Ill leave you a little nugget at the end.

So last night I was having trouble sleeping. It may be because I had a lot on my mind. It may have been because I took a nap at 6pm. It may have been the 20 oz of caffeinated sweet nectar that I drank around 8pm. Anyhow, whatever it was I was unable to get my body to shut off. So I figured for some strange reason that I would try the old counting sheep trick. Now Im not sure how many of you have actually tried this but It certainly is an impossibility for me. Whoever came up with counting sheep must have had some sort of farm because I dont think its as easy as advertised.

First of all, the sheep in my mind are jumping sheep. They jump over obstacles like horses. Maybe thats my first problem. If I had walking or standing sheep it might be easier but mine jump.

Secondly my sheep jump way too fast. I cant count fast enough to keep up with them. If counting sheep is going to be successful at all I would have to have slowly moving sheep with huge black numbers on their sides to make the counting easier. Neither is the case in my mind.

Long story short I think counting shape is nonsense. Clearly somebody discovered this a long time ago and created other alternatives like Nyquil. Personally I think that works a lot better.

On a different note lets talk about cars for a minute. Maybe I have a slanted perspective since my car is better than all the other cars out there but I cant seem to understand why people try to make their cars look really "cool". All it usually does is make that person look like a moron and their car look even worse. I was driving today on the highway and noticed this car driving recklessly in the far left lane so I had to take a closer look. Sure enough it was a tricked out car with one of those huge mufflers, a racing stripe over the top of the car and windows tinted far beyond legality. Wouldnt ya know it the car I am talking about was a Chevy Malibu. I have nothing against Chevy Malibu's (although I do dislike most American cars on principle) but if youre gonna get a car and go through all the trouble to TRY to make it look cool, at least buy a car that isnt your standard American family car. Why not just pay the extra money and buy a "cool" car to begin with? Again, I think Im just spoiled that I drive a car thats better than everyone else's. If I offended you with this tangent.....Im not that sorry.
