Late Nothingness (Hmm... is that a word)

Mar 30, 2008 - 03:43 AM PST

You've gotta love those evenings when sleep was supposed to smother you around 11:30 but you started talking to a friend and next thing you knew... it's 2:30am and you have to wake up early for church the next day. ...sigh... another day (or night) in the life of me. I'm sitting here now-clock shouting 5:27!!!-and I can't seem to coax my mind to rest. I can't say that my restlessness is a negative happening but, I'm not exactly doing myself a favor by staying up this late either. I always find those instances interesting when your stuck in the "consciousness pickle;" unable to decide between a few short hours of sleep or another shot of espresso and the anticipation of a long, hard afternoon nap later. ... ... ... well, looks like another night of "lack-o-sleep" and a morning of fatigue.
I don't always stay up by choice: I happen to be in the elite group known as Strong Sleepers. That's right, I'm the guy who initiates shut-eye and doesn't wake unless an act of God ensues. No lie, last semester four of my friends came in to wake me up for a basketball game. They picked me up out of my bed and set me on the floor, yelled for a bit, and then proceeded to set stuff on my body. With that said, you can imagine that I have trouble waking for classes throughout the week. This I use as my excuse now as to why I am still up and plan to be until about 1:00 tomorrow afternoon.
I understand now that I've just been babbling and ranting and I don't even really have a point. So, as I think about the people who may take the time to read this and wonder why they wasted the last minute in their life I feel obligated to leave you with something of substance... however, the longer I sit here and think of something clever to say the more my brain turns to mush. Well, God bless and I hope you found something helpfull in this mess of words.
