Ok, so i woke up out of the blue, can't go back to sleep and I'm not happy about it. For some strange reason I was having a dream about baseball and I have no idea why. I'm not even an avid fan of the sport. I mean, 'A League of Their Own' is one of my all-time favorite movies ("There's no crying in baseball") but I haven't even watched it lately. Before I went to sleep I was watching 'The Net', starring Sandra Bullock (love her) . So, I figure I should have had some type of dream about running from a crazy person trying to kill me, boats exploding or computer hacking, but i guess not.
When I first woke up I just laid there trying to count sheep, kittens, rottweilers; anything jumping over a fence to go back to sleep. Needless to say, it didn't work. Then I began to hear some 'I'm on top of the world' Titanic-type music playing in the background. I got up to investigate and turns out my baby fell asleep with the TV on while he was watching "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium." Hell, I should watch it; it should do the trick of boring me into a sleep coma. After I turned off his TV I turned to walk out of his room, tripped, and almost broke my neck on one of his toy's. And even though it's just me and my son here, out of reflexes, I looked up to see if anyone saw me....smh.
Speaking of falling. This is soooo 'hood' of me, but I actually get flustered when there's a spill or crack in the floor of a store and I trip, but I catch myself before I fall and break my neck. Hell, I could have a pretty nice chunk-of-change in the bank due to suing the hell out of some store for busting my damn head. But not wanting to be captured on film slamming into the chip display on aisle 5, then subsequently being sprawled out on the floor with Doritos framing my face, is always a deterrent. Smh at that split second of vanity that stands between me and a 'in-the-bag' (no pun intended) lawsuit.
