"there's no way that was 10 minutes!"

you know how some
mornings you hit the snooze button and it's like the
most wonderful thing in the world. the ten minutes
(or whatever your alarm clock gives you for a snooze)
seems like an extra hour and it's like a gift from
God. okay... well, today it was the exact opposite of
that. it was like i hit the button and the alarm went
off again right away. i was pissed.
thinking that it must be broken or that maybe i didn't hit it properly, i tried it again and it happened again. then i looked at the time and realized that 20 minutes had really passed since the first alarm. i hate that crap.
ps... i also keep having this recurring problem where i hear my alarm go off in the morning... some song is playing... and i keep trying to reach for the snooze button, but it doesn't happen. instead, in my mind/dream/half awake state i think i've done it and i can't figure out why the music isn't stopping. it's only after about 3 or 4 tries that i realize that i, in fact, have not hit the button but have only done so in my dream-like state. this has never happened to me before last week but has pretty much happened every day for the past week or so. please tell me i'm not alone in these experiences.

myspace is like the new
Cheers. just a random thought.
anyway, what i really wanted to say was that when i renewed the website for my company, FIGURE, Inc., they gave me a free new domain name. so... now i have my own website with all kinds of random matt crap that you probably won't care about at all. but, as long as it's there, i might as well let people know so if they're bored they can take a look. the address is www.matthewbarnes.net (hard to remember... i know.) check it out. or don't.
peace
