Deserved Insomnia

You know what's interesting? EVERY time I get smug about NOT having some sort of problem, I end up getting it. I won't go into the litany of the plethora of sicknesses and such I've ended up catching right after I mocked someone for having them, but believe me, they're MANY. And I deserved them cuz I did end up learning not to mock folks. When I say mock, I don't really mean it terribly heartlessly. Just, you know--randomly I'll make a joke or tell someone their problem isn't that big a deal. Like for all the times I've stood up for fat people, I've still laughed about them once or twice before. Like with D. I used to make jokes around her ALL the time. If she was hungry, I'd say, "Eat off the fat of the land!" Come on. That's FUNNY! You'd have to know her really, to get it. But anyway, then I was fat for a few months. Really. I was. Ask Rakesh. I was fat from Dec. 2002-Feb. 2003. I don't know why or how, but I suddenly realized the plight of the fat girl. Never again do I mock!
Anyways, this is all leading up to the very simple point that recently I've been hard on E because he has insomnia and sleeping issues. I've felt very comfortable in that I never have sleeping problems. I get in bed and bam!--la la land. Well, you guessed it. All week I've had insane insomnia and it's awful. I'm tired but I can't sleep. No matter how sleepy I am I can't fall asleep. Hence, me writing on this blog at 230am. Aw well, I deserve it. Anytime you ever hear me complaining about any sort of problem--be it illness, relationships, whatever--just remember I deserve it because I've probably felt smug about that very topic before.
Chukwudi where are you!?
Why is every Igbo named Chukwu-something?
The same reason every Hebrew is named something-El.
They stand for "God".
Chukwudi is particularly nice, meaning "There is a God."
Chukwuanu means what Nathaniel does: "God has heard."
Ugochukwu (my babycakes) means what Jonah means: "Dove [of God.]"
Weird because whenever you call any of these people "Chuks," it's sort of like calling them "God." Hmm, makes me a lil' uncomfortable.

I can't believe you predict stuff all the time. Shocking.
