Nothing productive

I ran across this article about Britney Spears being taken to the hospital last night.
I don't normally keep up with all that gossip, I get that news from a friend who does nothing else (JUST KIDDING!), but this made me feel really bad for her.

No, I don't think she's particularly talented; no, I don't like her music; yes, I think she's made some bad decisions, but MAN! This poor girl. Her poor family. Her poor kids.
She obviously needs help, and perhaps a healthy dose of privacy.

Today

For today:

1. I will work out hardcore.
2. I will buy medicine and boxes for storage and packing.
3. I will pack.
4. I will not feel guilty for taking some time for myself.
5. I will eat a big phatty salad and love it - I need something FRESH!
6. I will catch up on all those things I've been meaning to do.
7. I will congratulate myself on buying tickets to PR for Spring Break.
8. I will enjoy moments of doing nothing productive.
9. I will finally feel alive after weeks and weeks without sleep.

This song gets me in the mood for PR and relaxing. Mmmm...

"Pero el mar, qué quieto está, y nosotros en recreación. Espiritual, mental, carnal, plantando una revolución. Pero el mar, en su sazón, se ríe de este comedión. !Qué entretenimiento! Me quedo aquí que el agua está buena...."

"But the sea, it's so calm, and we're relaxing. Spiritually, mentally, carnally, planning a revolution. But the salty sea laughs at this comedy. Such entertainment! I'll stay here; the water's fine...."

LOL!

I'm taking a sick day tomorrow and that means SLEEP! How long have I been fighting this insomnia? Too long....

In the meantime, some of my favorite commercials EVER:

You Sometimes Don't Get Enough Sleep

You're often more tired than you'd like, and you're probably not getting enough quality sleep. Sleeping a little more could make you a lot more energetic and happy. Try having a bedtime, keep your bedroom cool, and only eat fruit before bed.

Do You Get Enough Sleep?

(No kidding...)

typical?

I was talking to a friend today and he asked me what my favorite part of a man's body is. I told him and then he told me his favorite part of a woman's body. It was, of course, a pretty typical answer, especially for a Latino (Hips, thighs, and neck). It made me laugh because it was so predictable.

Here's my question, what's the stock answer for women? Ladies, what's the most common answer?

Leave a comment - it's for research purposes.


For the record, I'm a fan of nice, muscular forearms and big hands with nice nails.
