I came down with a cold. I know it's a cold cause I got a flu shot way back in October. I decided I'd try to sleep through it but I can't sleep at the best of times, let alone the worst. I knew an old one eyed guy, once, in a jail down in Alabama, got thirty days for being drunk and beating up his wife. Slept for thirty days straight except for one meal a day. He'd wake up, eat whatever was on the tray, drink a half botttle of rubbing alcohol and go back to sleep again. Every other day he'd stay awake long enough to talk the trustee into buying him another bottle of poison. We had a young asshole car thief in with us at the same time and one day he decided he was going to steal the old man's last half bottle. He took it away from the old feller's trembling hands and watched him actually cry to try to get him to give it back. He tipped it up and drank it in front of the whining old geezer and 30 seconds later was writhing on the ground shitting his pants and throwing up at the same time, but I digress. Sometimes I can sleep when there's something boring on tv. I have a list of TV programs I can turn on to go to sleep. Sometimes they come to an end before I fall asleep and I have to climb out of bed and go through the trouble of finding another boring program, or lay there till not sleeping is the only thing on my mind again. Yesterday afternoon I decided to put on a documentary. They usually last a couple of hours. I typed in 9/11 and wound up with a list on Youtube and hit the play button and crawled back into the sack and shortly fell to sleep. Several hours later I woke up to find the documentary still on, no, it was a different one, there was an "up next" list and many more 9/11 documentaries on it. I watched a while and fell back to sleep again. It was working. A few hours later I woke up again and I'll be danged if they weren't still going on about 9/11. There are like 200 documentaries on 9/11. They all say it was an inside job. They all make a good point. I tried to find one that backed the official 9/11 Report. Nothing. Now I was semi-awake. I'd seen loose change 1 and 2 but now there are all kinds from all over the place. I drifted in and out of consciousness for eight hours watching men much smarter than GWBush blame his administration and Halliburton for 9/11. The further we get away from the day the more bizarre the official conspiracy theory is, 19 Arabs from Afghanistan.
So if you get a cold and need a background noise to help you sleep, go to Youtube and type 9/11 in the search engine. If, like me, you live in Mexico, you'll be glad you do.
