My sleep patterns are about as screwy as my Pekin-based mother's side of the family. I usually wake around 2 or 3 am for one reason or another. I did it again last night, and I did something that helps me fall asleep. Did I drink? Nope (I know..shocking...but my house was dry.) Smoke a little doobage? (Not since college.) Order porn from On Demand? Nuh uh. My dirty little secret is......
I watch Tom and Jerry cartoons.
That's right. I like to wrap up in a blanket, lie on the couch, and watch Tom and Jerry. There's something comforting about watching that schmuck Tom be continually terrorized and beaten by little Jerry. Plus the episodes were created in the 60s-so the term "politically correct" wasn't even in vocab. Case in point: Last night's episode had Jerry and his mouse friend tormenting a sleeping Tom (of course...) Jerry snuck down the fireplace and placed a handgun in Tom's hand, pointed it toward his head, pulled the trigger, and ran. Pan camera to Tom, who had a smoking reverse mohawk in the middle of his head. LOVE IT!
I'm surprised Tipper Gore hasn't pulled all those good ol' violent cartoons from the 60s and 70s...hope it never happens. We were raised on this garbage, and we turned out okay (well....a matter of opinion for some.) I mean, how else would I lull myself back to sleep if I didn't have politically incorrect animated violence? I'd probably start having dreams of me whacking Tipper with a frying pan until her face is flat...or shooting a 
cannonball into her mouth and watch it travel through her body until it sticks out in her butt.
