The Dennis Duffy Alibi

In one episode of the brilliant sitcom 30 Rock, Tina Fey's character comes home to her apartment in the middle of the day to find her loser ex-boyfriend sitting on her couch. She yells, "What are you doing here?" and he responds, "Look, I told my mom I got a job, so I've been coming here during the day."

Harry Sterling would like to admit to a certain loved one that for a period of time when he was supposed to be attending community college, he was actually going to the mall and watching movies. That is why I know the plot details of "Hannibal Rising" and that movie where Chris Cooper and Ryan Phillippe are CIA agents. I'm sorry.

I hate sleep.

It's 2:12 am. Last night I stayed up and took an 8:00am train to the Oakland
Coliseum. I was bored, and I wanted to see a baseball game. I bought a ticket
and lied down in the Coliseum parking lot and dozed off for a while. Eventually I came to,
and the stadium gates opened. I bought a seven-dollar hot dog and as I sat down
to watch batting practice, I realized that I hate the Oakland A's. Those yellow and
green idiots. I left.

I still don't want to sleep. Sleep is surrender. I want to continue
thinking and existing. I don't want to spend half my life unconscious,

Insanity: bring it on.
