Insomnia ridden madness

What is the matter with me? I don't understand why I can be so completely exhausted and then the minute I shut the lights and get into bed, my head gets spinning, and not with anything of any consequence whatsoever. I literally lie there thinking "I wonder if we should invite people over this weekend?" or "what should I make for supper tomorrow?" and even "What will I bring to the park for the day in the park with the students next week? A frisbee? My football?" yeah. Lame. I should be wondering about techniques of killing people with swords or the best way to throw a tornado kick (because clearly, the tornado kick is the best of them all, right? Yeah. Next time I fight someone I'll open with that.... haha - that's a sure way to lose a fight no matter who you are! I wonder if they'll see this kick coming, well, just in case they don't, I'm going to swing my leg in a complete 360 before heading towards the opponent... hah!)

Madness. Insanity. It's all crap.

I tried Zumba today. You'd think after 11 years of kung-fu that I'd be coordinated enough to dance, right? Well, that was a sight to see. Swinging my hips while turning in a circle and trying to do cool arm gestures? Oh, I don't know! Rub belly, pat head and do front kicks? That I could master. Dancing? Not so much. Lots of fun though. The best part was that we all didn't care and we were all there just to have fun.

why do parents think it's a good thing to stand up for their kids when their kid didn't study for a test? Why do they think it's the teacher's fault? How do they think it'll help their kids grow up to be better people if they do stupid shit like that? It's completely illogical. How does this sequence make sense:

1) Kid does not listen in class
2) Kid does not study
3) Kid fails quiz and/or test
4) Parent gets upset at the teacher and won't back down
5) (step 5 is optional) Parent makes up lame excuse and goes above the teacher's head to the administration to beg for their kid to get a second chance on said test/quiz
6) Teacher is made to re-test and re-correct and re-grade the kid

Does this logic make sense? What ever happened to.
A + B = C? Why does Z have to intervene and add all these other steps? In the end. The kid learns that when they fuck up, their parents will still think they shit gold.
I digress.

Well, I guess I'm gonna try sleeping again. I also wonder why being tired + going to bed does not = sleep. Let me know if you figure that one out. Maybe it's temporary insanity? Hmm... take out the temporary and I might be on to something....

That is all. Continue as if you were normal.
