What gets you up in the morning?

I have been asking my comrades from work what gets them up in the morning, and due to the alarming lack of any real innovation in their methodology I am popping in here to pose the question...

For most, the common answer is of course coffee... and for those random granolas out there, a nice shiny green apple... for myself, its the image of Monica Bellucci dripping wet in a tight white shirt... how about you? What gets you up in the morning people?

I work third shift (I'm at work right now), so I don't wake up in what you call "morning". As I also go to school, my actual sleep schedule varies widely during the week.

I generally just take a scalding hot shower immedeatley upon waking up...works better than coffee, and is quicker too.

Of course, I get a Mt. Dew as soon as I get to work...so I'm just delaying the caffeine intake. :p

My morning wake up call is my dog pushing her cold wet nose onto my butt to tell me to get up and let her go outside. She used to lick my foot to get me up. Im hoping this change in her behavior is because I jump up in surprise much faster now as opposed to a message from her about my foot hygiene.

I get up in the morning because I know that not getting up will cause my legs to atrophy, and then, someday, when I do want to get up, I will be incapable.

Not really. A strong desire to see what's new in the world is what helps me rise from my bed in the morning.

Knowing that I'm a day closer to really starting my life is enough to get me up in the morning. Anything by Rush also supplements that... Marathon is particularly good.

And I never thought I'd see you back here. Stay. We need more good posters, damnit!

If I wake up due to anything other than feeling rested, I get out of bed and curse the day and its foul inhabitants. I continue to do that until after I get back from class.

Knowing that failing my classes will result in large problems is the only thing that makes me get up.

Well, I am pretty tired, plus I've preoccupied myself with Rush tabs...

Edit: Ah, now that I've read the topic post, I see what you're getting at. And sense I'm not quite open about that stuff (:p), I'll just have to take us on a trip back down memory lane...

Some were probably either ignoring or denying your desire to discuss morning wood. I know I was.

Well, then I suppose you're excused...

but for the most part, I'm pretty pissed at the level of communication in here... this reminds me of when that movie Toy Story came out, featuring that little boy playing with that marionette cowboy figurine... what was his name? oh yeah, Woody... Well hell, I had a Woody when I was a little boy, and every morning I'd wake up and play with it until my hands hurt. But did they make a movie about me? Nooooo! Bastards, the lot of them.

when i was a little boy i played with my Woody so much that eventually it got all limp and useless... it wasnt until the i let some girls play with it that I started to really enjoy sharing my toy... funny how that works, you just see someone with a smile on their face and suddenly you want to share it all the time... life is like that.

I'd hate to live in San Francisco. Gaysville USA, not only that but it's also the most dispicable city in the country. If it didn't have kickass food there would be nothing for decent folk to go there cept alcatraz. But I don't mind gays, just the way they have sex, with all these 4 foot long double anal penatration dildos, and body oil, and all this ball in the mouth while you're getting fucked. Disgusting, I don't know how they like it so much, poopie dick is gross.

But anyways, YEAH! I live in fucking mexico (Bakersfield California) I'd trade San Francisco for bako anyday. Even if it is liberal up the ass (literal sense). You're lucky you get to look at all the stupid hippies who act all anti-war peace groups except they protest in a violent way. Then you got PETA coming in throwing red paint on people. It's great, if only LA and SF were combined there would be a war between liberals.

Why do I get out of be in the mornings? To earn a living & a sense of obligation, I suppose.

Sometimes I don't get up in the morning. Sometimes I do so at night, day or evening instead. When I do get up in the morning, though, it is thanks to the sometimes bordering on insufficient will I manage to amass as my head gradually becomes clearer.

I've always considered it my goal in life to never have to be woken up. Unfortunately that occasionally requires going to bed early or sleeping in late. Oh well, it's still great.

nothing "gets me up in the morning". i get up when my wife gets home in the middle of the night. the sun comming up is my hint to go to bed. i am truely nocturnal.

what gives me a reason to want to get up for is playing with stuff on this computer. mostly blender, autocad, and rule the rail, but also this internet.

ok, i must admit i'm 'retirement age' so of course my reply probably won't be very useful to anyone. but it's fun being harmlessly wierd. it's one of the few gratifications in life we can all afford, and what a more wonderful and enjoyable world this would be if more people allowed and encouraged each other to do so.
