reasons to get up in the morning
the older i get, the earlier i rise. although this practice keeps me from exercising my spiritual gift (read: sleeping), i think it is more beneficial than not.
in order to provide self-motivation for the days i do not want to either rise or shine and in order to remind myself of the beauty of this exercise we call life, i decided to jot down a short list of reasons to get up in the morning.
1. prayer (i realize this sounds overly pious and "preacherish," but i ain't gonna lie)
2. npr's morning edition
3. equal exchange coffee
4. west coast baseball scores
5. morning kisses from dizzy
6. morning kiss from kellie
7. trader joe's rasberry preserves
8. seeing the sun rise over the packy (read: package store or local liquor merchant)
9. hot water and consistent pressure
10. my morning shit (i know, i know, but it's my favorite shit of the day)
11. tom's of maine, wintergreen flavor
12. looking for good words from friends (read: obsessively checking for blog updates)
that's all for now. i'll try to post something more meaningful tomorrow.

Jeff, I love you. But #10 made me want to die, man.
I love NPR like no happenin', hip, 26 year-old should. I love it all.
the truth needs to be told, james, the truth needs to be told. i am not one to hide my light under a bushel.
as for npr, i think it is a work day savior. without it (and audiobooks, blogs, mlb gamecast and excessive amounts of caffeine) i don't think i'd be able to make it through the workday.
Re: #12. I'm with you. It's like friggin' Christmas when I wake up and do the blog rounds and find a late night entry.
