OMG, It's Early.

I knew last night, as phliKtid, Treocast, and I left the Geek Gathering to meet a bunch of my friends (Jen, Irfan, Gil, and others) at the Hotel Icon's Whiskey Bar and then on to Twelve Spot, that it was probably not a great idea since I had to be up so early this morning.

To make a long story short, several free drinks later (Thanks, guys!) and a stop at Frank's Pizza saw me get home at 3:30 this morning. Yeah, I am a dumb ass. But I am a dumb ass that had a great time.

Things were looking a little grim (i.e. hung over) at 7:00 when I woke up the first time, but forty more minutes in bed and already one full can of Diet Cherry Coke has me feeling a bit more human. Lesson learned for next year: Go home earlier!

So, here's the first download of the day (FYI - I'm putting a song up for limited download with each post, so get it while it's there) with a sentiment that all of us Blogathoners can get behind.

Rage Against the Machine - Wake Up (Like it? Then buy the CD.)

This is one of forty-eight posts that I am making, every half hour for twenty-four hour straight, to raise money for Heifer International by participating in this year's Blogathon. Please sponsor me if you can.
