*Cough**Hack**..**Spit** repeat..

Maybe ya'll already know this, but being sick is kind of a drag..

I'm one of those weird people that always kind of wants to get sick, just so I can have an excuse to do absolutely nothing and sleep all day (I mean, when else do you get such amazing privileges?) I have the glitch (more of a psychological malfunction, really) where I absolutely cannot just sit and do nothing (yeah, sitting down and watching TV just to watch TV, doesn't happen); I always have to be doing something or moving around or I feel as if I'm wasting time. So logically, when I am sick and otherwise incapable of any kind of productivity whatsoever is the only time in my life where I can just relax, not do a stinkin' thing, and not feel bad about it.

But enough about me and my hermit lifestyle.

Wilbur Williams.

What can say about Wilbur? The name itself evokes an aura excitement, mystery, adventure, like Indiana Jones except with alliteration.

For those of you who are unaware, Wilbur Williams is pretty much the coolest guy ever. Period.

Wilbur is a 70-something year old professor here at IWU. He's been teaching since my dad was in diapers, and he is the favorite here. The favorite of everyone, even people who have never taken the guy's class, which I did (and he teaches Old Testament, by the way. This man's led more archaeological trips to Israel than most people make to the bathroom in year). He's got the voice of God (no joke) and the wisdom of Solomon (before the 750 wives). Kinda wish he'd adopt me..

And he's pretty much famous, too! The man has rubbed shoulders with more famous people then you'll find on Oceans 11, 12, and 13. Seriously, try googling "wilbur williams;" you'll even get pictures! (not that that's creeperish or anything...)

Needless to say, Wilbur Williams is my hero. Today, I was walking across campus to one of my classes (there was absolutely no one else around because I had to run back to my room to get something, so in a sense I was quite late). He was walking on the sidewalk a good distance away, paused, waited until I noticed him, and then waved. He waved! At me! Tell ya what, it pretty much made my day..

Not that I'm obsessed or anything. I just happen to think Wilbur Williams is the coolest thing since Wheel of Fortune.

Wheel of Fortune is my favorite show.
