One downfall of being 6'1 and owning the 97 Ranger. Not happening. No way, no how. The Exploder, maybe in the back.

That's so true. I learned that during high school w/ honors classes. I found that after staying up all night to finish a project, the next day I was so happy and excited and full of energy, it was weird.

I work during the day, and I'm up all night.... not much time for sleep betwee the two. At least I have plenty to keep my busy, what with all you guys here to talk to, and wooping on people on Halo over the internet.

It is amazing what a nap will do for you. In some cultures, it is normal.

Naps are funny things...

You can be SOOO tired, but take a 10-minute cat nap, and suddenly you have loads of energy again.

When I was a little kid, and was made to take naps, I absolutely hated them... I'd always just lie their, pretending I was trying to sleep, and eventually I'd be allowed to get up again... I think I thought it was wimpy to take a nap...

Now, I LOVE naps. Hardly anything else beats a nap. I did say hardly.
