I know this entry is going to sound like I have had a steady diet of Iyanla Vanzant or Dr. Phil books, but that is not at all the case. But it is absolutely important for everyone to take at least one if not two days just to sleep. 90% of the time, I am operating on about 4 hours of sleep, and for the most part it has served me just fine..or so I thought. I went out and stayed out to at least 2am, from Thursday night to Friday night, and then Saturday I basically stayed in the streets of NY until it was time for me to take the train back at 7am. I think I may have gotten a combined 8 hours of sleep all those nights, but since my name is Rashad I kept on pushing through like it was nothing. But since that train ride back here to DC, to about 5 minutes ago when I finally woke up for good, I have basically done nothing but sleep. Sure I've dabbled on the computer, and I have continued to play with new phone, and I have peeked at a few athletic events, but for the most I have slept, like I have never slept before, and it is almost as good as sex. So good in fact, that I have taken the day off, so I can do it once more. I suggest everyone do the same.

I am not one of those people who is going to do an Oscar recap, but I am going to comment about Diablo Cody. Diablo was a struggling writer who never stopped blogging and writing on her on, and all of her hard work finally paid off last night when she won an Oscar for best original screenplay for Juno. I won't even pretend that I knew her story before my lady told me last night, but I find it to be very inspirational. There is still hope for me to make it big in some capacity.

By the way, I took a picture with Questlove early Sunday morning, and as soon as I get it back, I am putting it up here in true groupie fashion.
