Never Gonna Give You Up...
Really, brain? You couldn't come up with another song to have stuck in there as I wake up? Eh, there are worse ways to wake up than with Rick Astley never going to give you up.
Meanwhile, I am going insane because of my across-the-hall neighbor's alarm clock.
Why am I up so early on a Saturday, you ask? Weird sleep pattern? Evil Saturday class? Temporary insanity? Nope! My sleep pattern's not bad, I have no Saturday classes, and my insanity is, as it has always been, permanent.
No, folks, I'm up this early on a Saturday because here at Green Mountain College, we are going to be privileged with Governor Jim Douglas' presence. It is the annual Maple Fest, and he's going to tap a tree right here on campus.
Why am I excited about this? Good question. Normally I wouldn't give a rat's ass about maple trees and governors, but this time it's different. Because only three days ago, Jim Douglas said "that he would veto a same-sex marriage bill if it reached his desk."
In the wake of a visit from The Yes Men, a group of students was inspired to use this opportunity--which has fallen straight (hah) into our laps--to our advantage. As such, we are hosting a demonstration, wherein we will ensure that the governor does not leave GMC with a single photo lacking a homosexual couple in the background.
