Roach Motel

While lounging around on my couch this afternoon watching a movie a large cockroach came in through my front door. He didn't like open the door and say hi, he just crawled right in through the large gap that exists. These are very impolite creatures. Anyway, i casually got off said couch and went to my room to find something to smash my new house guest with, upon entering my bedroom I find another roach clinging to the top inside of my mosquito net. I instinctively flick the pest off my net sending him spiraling against my mattress making an audible thump.

As I contemplate the size and density an object requires to make a noise on foam from a 2 1/2 foot drop a third roach crawls over my foot leading to this internal conversation;

"Travis, if all of these roaches are out in the middle of the day with all of this sunlight what is actually going on while you're sleeping? I mean really, are they crawling around in your net with you or is this just a one time thing?...I don't know man, is it really a big deal? Are they just a misunderstood product of nature? they're not eating my food, probably no reason to get too upset with them."

Anyway, I was able to smash two thirds of them with my African sandal (you wouldn't believe the mess they make) and get back to my lounging with George Clooney within a couple of minutes. Lets just hope the one that got away isn't recruiting others to move in.
