"The Day I Lost My Mind" By: Double O

So let me first say that I am looking forward to going home. I got in touch with a few high school and I will be not around for the majority of the time I am in New Orleans. Going to go fishing, camping, to Six Flags, and lots and lots of bar hopping downtown.

Ok.... Here is the story (enter dream sequence)

It was a cold winter morning in Alaska. I awoke from my nights slumber to the sound of my own laughter. "why am I laughing?" I asked myself as I looked at the alarm clock a few feet away. The time was exactly 05:00 and the alarm wasn't going to go off for another fifteen minutes. I turned off the alarm and ventured to the lower decks of my dwelling.

As I sat in the darkness of my toy-invaded living room, I began to hear song after song after song after song ring through out my numb cranium. I had no idea I had sat there for almost 30 minutes. Damn...IM going to be late for work.

I hulled ass to the fam Van and put it into hyperdrive. Just as I was rounding the corner to Lake Otis, the words "Some where over the rainbow, way up high" came screaming from my mouth. I looked over to the vehicle next to me and they didn't know I was singing, so I sang louder than I have ever sang in my life. My usual auto pilot had taken over and before I knew it I was at work. What usually took me between fifteen and twenty minutes had taken me exactly six. I have no idea how fast I was going, but if you do the math let me know.

Through out the day my mental state didn't change. I found myself quoting every movie I had ever seen or remembered enough to be able to quote it. For a brief two hours I believe I may have been possessed by the ghost of Strong Sad, for his voice had taken over my normal loud and obnoxious tone. I even had the almost uncontrollable urge to grab the radio that had the ability to talk to Anchorage Tower and ask for take off clearance in this absurd little voice. But instead, I made fun of the Japan Airlines pilots who were on approach. "Anchrwige Tower, JA niner two two, Querance for take off Gwanted"

After a fun and exciting day at work, which I still have no idea what I did that day except for laugh and make noises the whole day, I went to my spinal corrections and adjustment appointment. Same shock therapy and "RACK" treatment applied to the lower portion of my back didn't make any difference. I was hitting on all the doctors assistants, only 2 of the group were in any way good looking. The it was off to the beginnings of this ordeal...Home

As I walked into my house I had an urge. Not to kill everyone in ear shot of my raving lunacy, but to look in the fridge. AHH. I found the cure. At least I didn't' know it was the cure until I put its frosty neck to my now dry and parched lips. The almost frozen liquid raced around the inside of my pie hole and I felt rather funny. I sat down on the sofa and something happened. Somewhere in the depths of sleep the night before, my mind had left me and hid itself in a bottle of Alaskan Amber. How did it get there, who knows. But I can tell you that after the one, I had no reason for another. I sat there and contemplated the days events and realized that I lost my mind, was possessed by strange sounds and voices, wanted to cause mass destruction and chaos, lusted over fat doctor's assistants, and found sanity again all in one day.

This was the most amazing event that has happened to me in a long time. I feel so much better now. IM just glad that no one got hurt or even mauled. It was a good day. A day that will live in my now collected inner beings. I will be sure to let everyone inside know that its going to be alright and I wont let anything hurt them again.
