I may have started off on the wrong note. I don't truly believe that sleep is a dirty whore. More of a misguided young idealist that got mixed up in some of the wrong stuff and started treating life as poorly as it had treated her. She wants to be good but has forgotten what it means. Down on her luck and lashing out just so she knows she can. I could write a really screenplay about her if I cast her as a girl from the south. It would be really bad. In any case sleep is avoiding me like we're at a grade school dance and the DJ just put on a slow one(but I know she's secretly into me).
The long and the short of it is that I can't sleep (others would have put that more succintly) so I've decided to dust off this blog and see if emptying some of these things I pass off as thoughts onto a page does anything productive. The brain is a horrible place for a thought to stay.
So here you go (I'm using the figurative 'you' here since nobody reads this thing) ten thoughts:
1. Running is a much faster mode of transportation than walking but is only really acceptable in sports and kids. Otherwise people will probably think you just stole something.
2. You can't win an argument with a stupid person, but man does it feel bad to lose one to them.
3. Clowns aren't really funny to me at all. I only laugh at them because I think that anyone that throws confetti in your face to get you to like them deserves a freebie. But that just keeps them going back to the tin of greasepaint everyday.
4. Social networking sites have made it very easy to learn a lot about a person without actually clouding your mind with 'knowing a damn thing about them.' I love the sites, but its like reading a book- not seeing a face.
5. The thought that 'only I can prevent forest fires' just starts a cycle of stress and guilt when I realize how little I've done in the matter. Everyone is apparently counting on me. This is how Superman feels.
6. Lists are a lazy way to avoid joining ideas together into a decent narrative.
7. No one ever reads the middle of a list, they just check out the first and last bits.
8. Theres a fine line between speaking your mind and being a bit of a dick. I one day hope to find that line. But not as much as I hope that anyone I ever have to sit on a bus with has already found it.
9. Blogging seems to be just one step up on the literary totem pole from writing bad poetry in high school. One below washing instruction tags for jeans.
10. A bottomless cup of coffee is a menu item incentive, not a challenge.
