Out of Breath
Sheets to the Wind
226
Oftentimes it is difficult to obtain that which we would most enjoy. Perhaps it is more prudent, then, to enjoy those things which we already have near us. These are the thoughts that fill my head as I awake. And so, I enjoy the nearest thing to me at these moments: a bedsheet. So silky and malleable, so light and breathable. Bedsheets can be contrived as the most magnificent articles of cloth known to mankind, and I shall elucidate on the matter.

One of the greatest hindrances to my arisal in mornings was this looming truth: I have to open my eyes, stand up, and adorn my body with pants, socks, and a shirt. I have not the resolve at such early hours, and thus I am dissuaded to awake. I then fall into the degrading cycle: consciousness, subconsciousness, unconsciousness, and reconsciousness. However, I am able to circumvent this diabolical situation by embracing my bedsheet. All that is required to start my days is to clasp a hand onto the savior sheet and erect myself. Utterly convenient.

I am not alone in my opinion. Countless men of days past also wore sheets, such as Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato; their wisdom evidently enchanced by the fabric. Jesus H. Christ, messiah and son of the Creator of Existence and Organisms, wore sheets. If the C.E.O. (as I like to call him) approves of it, then so do I. And so should you. Even the man with a mind greater than God had something to say on the subject:

"Sometimes I fall asleep at night with my clothes on. I'm going to have all my clothes made out of blankets."
- Mitch Hedberg

"Blankets," of course, are the thicker cousins of bedsheets worn by those of more frigid climes. So you see, bedsheets are obviously superior to any other form of clothing currently available. I beseech you; Join me, brothers and sisters, and together we shall rise up and fall with great wrath upon those whose faith fails them.

I sleep with one pillow, one sheet, and one blanket. Too many pillows or blankets suffocate me.

I know your pain.
I was once suffocated by a pillow and a blanket. It was a devious plot; a devious, devious, plot.

That was beautiful.
I told myself I'd wear a toga to school everyday 'cause it was too much trouble to throw on a Tee and wear one of my five or so pairs of jeans. But, what happens when I trip?

hmm...
you? wearing only sheets? O_o'' what a lovely sight that would be....

aside from that, it is our nature to yearn for the unobtainable....makes life more interesting, I suppose.

Ummm yeah
Ok, I have to say that I agree with you. It is difficult to get out of bed when the sheets seem so very inviting. I stand next to you in your quest.

"erect myself"

I think you'll run into some laundry issues.

Thank you so much for your help! =) I'm not looking forward to school...sigh are you?

*blinks*
quote: "All that is required to start my days is to clasp a hand onto the savior sheet and erect myself." A freudian slip? Or an intended pun? Do elaborate, do. Speaking of blankets...my dog hogs mine. I'm knitting a new one out of her shedded fur.

thanks for the welcome.

That's great how you made bedsheets sound so eloquent. I find it difficult to get up in the morning period. Especially when my blanket and bedsheet are fresh from the washer/dryer. April fresh.

that you were in a rock'n'roll band. i couldn't see you, but i heard you. it was good, i liked it.
