Tomorows Energy

I have been suffering mightily from allergies. They are making me so miserable. You know the usual stuffy head and itchy eyes. Lately though, they have left me with barely a scintilla of energy. I have taken many medications, and had varying degrees of success. Even with the daily pills, eye drops and nose sprays (not to mention a study IV drip of diet Coke) I am still miserable and exhausted. I might have found a solution for my energy crisis though.

 I was watching ESPN classic.  They were running some old school wrestling from the mid-eighties. My favorite announcer, Gorilla Monsoon, was calling the action. It was and Epic battle between Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka and Sargent Slaughter.  Snuka had landed a hard right hand to the chest area of the Sarge when I heard Gorilla scream "Oh My! Right in the SolarPlexus!" That got me to thinking. First, is that even a body part? It is. I looked it up. Second, How great would it be, if our bodies had a Solar Panel of some sort? I keep hearing that Solar is the energy of the future and I am ready! Bring it on. I'm tired of being tired. If we could some how harness the power of the Sun on an individual level it would solve a few  problems. 

1)Fatigue. The obvious energy level boost would be amazing.  (in the daylight at least)
2) Obesity. If we were energized by the Sun then no need for food. 
2b) World hunger. See #2
3)The Economy. With lots of energy and no time wasted eating, the GDP would skyrocket!


Of course, I'm sure skin cancer would be on the rise. There's a price to pay for everything I suppose. 

This is the future I'm hoping for. For now though I just wish I could kick these allergies. Maybe I will start wearing a mask, much like the Sweet retro grappler The Great Mysterio! Then I would challenge Allergies to a loser leaves town match!  If I lose....I will leave and go to a place where nothing grows. I suspect either way, I'm a winner.

  1. Is Gorilla Monsoon the one with the crazy glasses?

    What would happen in the winter?

    So many questions...
