So, when was the last time you developed an intense enough addiction to something that you actually suffer withdrawal when you go without it? Well, it has happened to me this week. Allow me to elaborate. Every so often, I use NyQuil to help me get to sleep at night. I don't use it all the time, mind you. Just here and there. Okay, so it's more "here" than "there". This week, my allergies have been so bad that I've had to take Sudafed before I go to bed to clear my nose en lieu of taking my NyQuil. Suffice it to say that I ain't been sleepin' worth jack this week. I haven't had any more than four hours of sleep in one night since Saturday. Pretty sad, isn't it? It could be worse, I suppose. Could be an illegal drug or some kind of prescription narcotic that I am suffering withdrawal from, but, it isn't... thank God. I'll get over it eventually. Maybe I'll try Tylenol PM. Hey, hey, a new drug!

Oh, yeah. In postscript, Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. was on the Aurora University campus today. He spoke about the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. to kick off AU's MLK celebration. He was such a dynamic speaker that I would have voted for him as President. Then again, when a young politician such as him opens his speech by saying that he was born in 1965 and 35 is the minimum age at which a person can run for the presidency... well, you do the math. Just kidding. That implication wasn't created by me but by the interim provost of AU, Michael Sawdey. It's his fault if JJJ runs for President. Blame him.

Update from the insomnia front... I slept much better last night. I went to sleep shortly after reading some Archie cartoons from his most recent Double Digest (at least, I think it's the most recent, I could be wrong). This...
