A Religious Experience

Something very strange happened to me last night. I put my head to the pillow, laid back, and slept. I actually fell asleep without any difficulty despite my tiny stiff Japanese pillow doing all it can to prevent it. My mind was clear, my eyes (metaphorically) open and my ears alert. I even had time to ponder politics and history. Hello old friends....

Having had some sort of religious reincarnation, I awoke today with ease despite the early hour. I am genuinely excited about the rest of my time here as I'm now back on the side of fate. After I post this I shall go back to revision and lectures, something I could not face since Thursday with actual volition.

To put this in perspective, this is how I felt on Friday/Saturday:


And this is how I feel today!


No, not constipated or old as I admit he does look here... If you've seen the films you will understand the meaning...

And next weekend I'll look like Obama... Its for Halloween. I have a suit, they sell face masks. Win.

I was asked who would be scared by that? The worlds most powerful man being Black and (as close as American politics get) liberal? Scares the crap out of my Nan for starters... and anyone
who reads the Daily Heil (Mail)..
