INSOMNIA

it's 12:56am. you finished the work you had to do tonight at the time you planned. you feel burnt from 3 days full of meetings (most of which you didn't really care to be in) and the a/c in your bedroom is less in need of servicing than the one in the living room... so your bed feels much nicer. PLUS, when your alarm goes off at six and you jump up to start that other job, you're going to be wishing you had a few more minutes in that cozy bed. right?

right.

happens everytime.

and i always explain that after doing a job, especially a challenging one like a small campaign or an intense article that i really got into, my mind is in no state to sleep. it's like a squad of thoughts drag racing on my information super highway. and it's loud too! i can't sleep.

but what exactly are you thinking of?

same things you think about. like i really should get that black NY hat. do i have anything that i can wear tomorrow without ironing? when will these people pay me for that job i did for them like 6 months ago? what would i really do if i won that 6.5 million dollar lotto jackpot, my last german sheppard was really cool and the concept of superman is so wack and corny.

you know what helps me settle down though?

what?

writing. but not like an article or something. just like ramblings... like on a blog... like this one.

serious?

well yeah. just look at what's going on. a few lines into it and i'm yawning wider than an alligator.

i guess it works.

fuh real. as a matter of fact, i'm going to sleep. you can keep it here and don't say nuttn.

so? chad did it too!

what?? yuh not goin to write something this time?

i keep telling you... YES i know this is about MY view and my opinion and all that good stuff, but if i see something that i find interesting, i think i could post it here too.

but that's cheating. you didn't create it. it's not your thought. what kinda blogger are you?

listen. if it's about sharing ideas, then this is an idea that i'd like to share. it's not mine, but i think it's worth it to share. besides, chad did it on his blog!

chad did something like this before?

yup?

post up a video that wasn't his original idea.

more than once. music videos, little opinion pieces, he's a regular to this thing.

well why didn't you say that in the first place? come on... post the video so people could see!

ok... look it here
