I don’t sleep well. I just don’t. I wake up and have trouble getting back to sleep. Usually it’s because I think too much and don’t relax to go back to sleep, there is so much genius going on in my brain that I can’t help it. Though lately I find myself pondering things and then thinking to myself that I have Google it or look it up on some site the next day. The trouble is that what seems so important or ponderous at 2:30 AM, is forgotten by the time I’m up and around and at a computer. It’s a vicious cycle. And sometimes I feel bad because I know I am keeping The Finnmesiter awake. I envy cats and their 18 hour sleep days, god I would make an awesome cat.
The only time in my life I have had good nights of sleep was when I was in high school and had a water bed. It was totally free flow, none of that wave-less nonsense for me. It was heated during the winter and cool during the summer months. Not that I can only sleep well on water, I just think I have had crappy beds since then. I am seriously considering investing in a high quality slumber unit as it seems like one of those things where you get what you pay for. But if I do, I may have to set it up in the living room because it took some serious muscle and determination (by Paul) to get my current bed up the narrow stairs in my house, not to mention chunks out of the wall.
There is always sleep meds which I am seriously considering. I don’t know, maybe I’ll sleep on it….maybe
Maybe it’s the introvert in me, maybe it’s the lack of acoustical sound dampening in my office coupled with loud coworkers and customers, or maybe my TV is too loud. Hell, it may even be the voices in my head. But more and more I crave quiet.
I’m kind of tired of involuntarily listening to the various noises that people produce, whether it be from their big yaps or other executions of day to day lives that cause unwanted din. I wish there was some kind of device one could wear that let’s you zero in only on what you want to hear, if anything at all. I know there are noise cancelling headphones, but how silly would I look wearing those day to day? Maybe if they had different styles I could match to my tie. But then that’s a whole other decision I would have to make in the morning and I barley leave myself enough time from bed to exit door as it is. So with headphones out, can the world just shut up for a day?
I know, that’s asking too much. but one can dream. Maybe I should become a monk.
John and Kate + Eight: Baby popping reverse mullet angry mom and a spineless clueless Dad exploiting their kids, who will be able to Google them someday. And both have reportedly cheated on one another. And it all plays out on a “family channel.”
Supreme Court nominees: And its only been like a week. First of all, I’m pretty sure there are other traits to be considered other than stance on abortion, but you would not know it for the first several days of Obama’s announcement. Only now are we getting more background info but without any real questions being asked of the nominee or clarification all we get is media speculation and partisan fucktards chanting “racist.” Which brings me to…..
Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich calling anyone racist: Really? These two wind bags calling anyone racist is just the end all of hypocrisy. But I expect it to be lost on people like these who have their head so far up their asses that living in the real world is a long stinky journey they are unable to make.
Bad Movies: Just watched Paul Blart Mall Cop. Really, this made a lot of money??
What to do when people you work with want to “friend” you on facebook? I try to not blend my work and personal life. It is why I never disclose where I work anywhere online, here or FB, etc. With the exception of a few trusted work friends from my Michigan days, nobody from work knows about my little online ramblings home right here.
There are a few people from work I genuinely like but still it crosses a line. And you run into the problem of “friending” those that you like and then having others at work who are their friends discovering you on FB and wanting to be friends.
So I have made rules for “friending” people on FB. No coworkers, with the exception of one or two from my previous work home in Mich. And only being FB friends with people I would actually want to sit with and have a meal and the conversation that goes with.
