why don't i hear any sleep screams

One of my heroes is Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson was a badass motherfucker, standing at 6'2 with reddish hair, bearing a green thumb like no other. I'd imagine he looked a bit like Conan O'Brien.

Jefferson served two terms. During his second term, his vice president was a man named George Clinton.

Jefferson gave only two speeches during his presidency, as he was a lousy speaker. Everything else was written down, some of it being published and sent out, including his State of the Union Address.

Jefferson wrote over 20,000 letters in his lifetime, one I find being particularly important, the "Wall of Separation", which sparked what we know today as "Separation of Church and State".

Contrary to popular belief, Jefferson is said to have been a Deist; thus, his reference to a God at the beginning of the Declaration of Independence holds no relevancy to the Christian God as many are lead to believe.

Jefferson became the foremost American architect of his time -- designing the Virginia Capitol, the University of Virginia, and his own home, Monticello.

Jefferson was also an inventor. Of his many inventions is the swivel chair!

At the age of 9, Jefferson began his studies, residing with a Scottish clergyman who taught him Latin, Greek, and French.

Congress appointed a committee to write the Declaration of Independence. The committee then unanimously asked Jefferson to prepare the draft, and it was approved with few changes.

Jefferson created the University of Virginia. He reorganized the curriculum, hired the faculty, and selected the library books.

Hectic! Goddamn. Tomorrow's a day off. A chance to do things i've been meaning to do, communicate with whom i have been meaning to, and etc. It's also my younger brother's birthday. Happy birthday Matt! I think i'm going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. If i win 225 million dollars, and you email me the secret word, you'll get a prize. Now, i'm tired, and it's time to go get used to sleeping in a cold bed again.

Ok, can't end on a sour note, so i'll finish by saying that i asked the bank teller yesterday for $2 bills, and she gave me 20 of them. Haha, that's just the kind of guy I am. Also, there was a thunderstorm tonight, and it was cool.
