I Need To Go The %$^& to Bed!

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 | Life

I have had 5½ hours sleep in the last 3 days. Well I’m sure I have fallen asleep at work but it’s a micro-nap with my eyes open. Not exactly what I need. If I were smarter I would have at least taken a power nap with one of the mp3’s I have (they put you to sleep and wake you up right before you leave stage one sleep). That would at least be logical. See I can’t just lay down for a normal nap because if I fall asleep I won’t get up at a reasonable time. I would end up waking up at 2:30am and then would have a screwed up schedule again.

At this point it shouldn’t matter. I mean it’s 9pm, which seems reasonable to just sleep all night. However only an hour ago I remembered my fitness goals so I went out for a run. So now I am awake again. Gotta love exercise… Wakes you the fuck up. Not what I needed.

So I started watching this movie on my site… Revolver. The movie would clearly not be for everybody. However It seems to be for me. I say it seems because I am only 30 mins into it and it’s 1:46:55 long. It’s interesting and gets me wondering what will happen next. It makes you think. FUCK, now my mind and my body are awake.

Well I am writing a blog post because my mind is clear enough to think now and the movie is buffering. Man do I ever miss my 14meg connection. This Supposedly 5 megabyte DSL sucks donkey balls (and no I don’t mean that in a good way… what good way? well if you translate donkey it becomes ass, and as a smart comment it would clearly be referring to a smartass which could easily be me and I can see nothing wrong with having your balls sucked. No I just meant it sucks something unpleasant.). I mean I can only have 1 thing downloading, and if my roommate wants to play halo3 I need to stop my downloads so that he isn’t fucked over by the download. I stuck QOS on my router with fancy firmware but it doesn’t seem to be working like it’s supposed to so bittorrent traffic does not take low priority like it said it would… oh well…

Gack, the buffering is so long and quiet… Must have music. Here’s what I decided to listen to (nice that youtube has every song ever in some video so I can reference everything so quickly):

Hopefully this buffering will take so damn long that I just decide to go to bed instead of waiting for it. I could just hit play now, it’s 50% done… but it will freeze another 30-40 minutes in.

Screw it, sleep is overrated. Sure I have been zoning out at work, but I am still getting my job done.

What I need is one of those masks from the James Bond Movie, the one with the super hot blond who’s name escapes me (and I don’t want to spend the half a second on imdb or google to find her name) AND Halle Berry in it… Guy can’t sleep anymore so he just uses the crazy dream mask to work out his problems. I think that’s the way to go. Give your subconscious a good change of pace….

I wonder if my posts will keep getting more and more convoluted everyday that I don’t sleep. Will I still be able to drive if I don’t go to bed in the next hour? Will I be an asshole to somebody who doesn’t deserve it? Will it be worth it because I may discover the great secret of the universe when my conscious starts to merge with my subconscious during the day? Hmm, actually that one though I would love to know what it’s like for a day or two I know that I wouldn’t want to keep it, since my family seems to have a history of mental illness and schizophrenia. Probably not good if I start seeing my crazy dreams while I am awake.

I actually have gone to sleep the last couple nights too… It simply hasn’t worked out as planed. So tonight I just need to decide to not let anything wake me up until my alarm goes off in the morning. Oh yeah, and I need to not think. Normally it’s so easy to do and I pretty much just lay down and go to sleep.

Whatever, exercise / mental stimulation be damned. I shall try again to sleep. Yep, I need to go the %^&# to bed.
