So, I'm thinking about entering the blog world.

Here is revisited a song I wrote with Kelley Mitchell back in the 3-five-7 days, which is currently being resurrected by earthShine.

So, I was just thinking about the Chinese Zodiac.

Most of you that know me have at least some idea of how clueless I am when it comes to the opposite sex.

I mentioned in my "Pigeons!" blog entry that Greg Magnuson was on "Deal or No Deal" last week.

I have decided that the theme for May, 2007, shall be "moving".

This is very long, but important.

Well, the publicly presentable bits, at least. 

I haven't posted in forever.

Machu Picchu, newly crowned member of the "New" seven wonders of the world, and every bit deserving of that title.

Holy Crap! I'm going to write A NOVEL!!

Forgive the lack of posts lately, but I've had to dedicate all my writing time to this novel monster.

Ok, I did it. I wrote a friggin novel in November.

I've been having insomnia lately. Not sure what's causing it. I don't have any new sources of stress that I can think of. I think it may have been caused by NaNoWriMo, since I sacrificed so much sleep to write. It really messed with my sleep schedule, and I think I've lost my internal sleep rhythm. Last night, I was very tired and sleepy, and fell asleep quickly and easily. Then, I woke up after less than 2 hours. I drank some milk and laid back down, and managed to get back to sleep again. Then, less than 2 hours after that, I woke up again, and was wide awake. By this time it was only 3 hours until my alarm clock would go off, so I just stayed up. Probably a mistake, now I'm struggling to stay awake at work. And writing half sentences.

I sure wish sleep wasn't necessary. I'd never do it if I could get away with it. Do you realize that if you live to be 75, and you sleep an average of 8 hours per night for your life, you will spend 25 years of your life asleep? Imagine what we could all do with an extra 25 years.

What if you could be granted a wish that would allow you to gain back all the hours you've spent asleep in your life, to spend any way you want, at the end of your life. The catch would be that you would gain the specific hours back, so all the time you gain back from sleep you had while an infant, you'd gain back as an infant, and so on. I think it would be cool if you could just start using it up in reverse order. So, when you reach the end of your life and die, you'd wake up the next morning noticing no difference because you were using the hours you slept the night before. Basically, every year of those 25 that you got back, you'd get 3 years younger. The last 4 years of your life would be as a child, growing smaller until you were an infant. For the sake of argument, we'll assume you wouldn't get back the hours spent sleeping while in the womb. The other aspect of this catch is that most of those last 25 years worth of hours would be night hours, since that's when most of the sleeping occurred.

Random thoughts of the sleep deprived.
