Sleep decisions...

When you wake up in the morning, sleepy eyed and not ready to go in the least bit, but you know that there is something that you should be going to right now, like class, and at that moment you have to get up... Or not...

Your "sense" comes along to help with these dilemmas at just these times, talking to you in the deepest parts of your head, those areas that echo all around and seem to make so much more sense every time they resound again... "But you have had such a long night, and the warmth of these blankets are so nice, you couldn't possible move at such an early hour as this, and the pitter patter of the rain on the roof is drumming to you and it is telling you that it is all ok if you sleep for just a little longer, class isn't going to be that important today anyways, and you can always skip it this one time, oh and remember the warm blankets..."

And you blankets seem to get thirty pounds heavier, and hold you down. And you become aware of all the little things that are making this sleeping thing so wonderful right now. "Well if you put it that way me, of course I will sleep in..." Who can resist themselves when they tell you to sleep more?...

But after you wake up from that extra hour or so of sleep, the notion comes that you probably missed something rather important in class, that you feel groggier than you did when you first woke up, and you missed out on an hour of the day that you could have been at least a little productive in...

So there comes these times early in the morning when you talk yourself into doing something, or not doing something. It comes when you don't have good judgment at all, and can hardly think straight, and what you can think straight about is the sleep that you are going to be missing when you get up at that moment... So if this tends to happen to you in the morning, do yourself a favor and don't listen to yourself...

More pictures of you than what you were doing...

If you have ever been into stalking on facebook or myspace, or just wanted to look at the pictures form that crazy night of drinking that you and your friends had on Friday, but I find it strange that when you do there always seems to be more pictures of the person who owns the camera than pictures of what was really going on...

Is this a new style of photography that I never was told about? Or is it just bad choice of subject matter from the person that was holding the camera, or maybe they have low self esteem and need to see themselves in their albums to feel like they are a part of something... Well either way I don't understand this new fad.

I would much rather seen what Timmy was doing there in the background holding his foot and rolling on the ground at the bowling ally than that ghastly shot of you and your guy being blinded by a flash of light while trying to hold the camera out far enough and jam your head close to his so as to show what the wrinkles in your neck are going to look like in thirty years...

So remember that the rest of the world is interested in what you were doing, and whether or not Timmy died that night... Not so much about your neck...

Talking while you type...

So when the time comes when there is a rather large paper that you need to write, or you just need to write your grandma and tell her that you have definitely been up to no good at all in the last three years that you haven't kept in touch with her, and you sit down at the computer to start that torturous business of going about it, that you start to dictate all of what you are thinking and typing out loud...

Maybe this is a symptom for the people that don't know how to keep "it" to themselves or just me. But I have noticed that most people do say everything that they are typing even if it is under their breath, or just little jittery lip seizures of words escaping their dungeon labyrinth's of the soul... Of course they could really be having a seizure and the "typing" that is going on is only their limp arms slamming down on the keyboard, in what I am sure would be a interesting read...

Well anyway, Talking while you write is something that people think is a shameful thing to do. 'Oh you were talking well you were over there... you're so weird..." But I find it very helpful to say what I am about to say right as I am typing it, at least under my breath a little bit, so that I can write what I am thinking exactly at that moment. Of course if you read anything that I write you might be completely lost, because I tend to write just as if I was talking, and I don't talk with the most clarity. But for me it is all about the feel and the moment that I think it, and if you can't understand it, don't think too hard, you're not going to...

So next time you are sitting in a room with someone that is writing a Email or a paper, and is dictating it to themselves, even if all you can see is the little jitters, try and write it down too. Who knows, you might find out their secret love, or just be able to cope their homework off of them and get a better grade then you were going to...
