Personal update: Journal 4/7/06
Personal update.
I have a touch of insomnia. This really isn’t all too unusal out here. Half the unit seems to be taking a sleeping aid of some sort. Before when I was having trouble sleeping, I blamed it on the flip-floping of shifts (days to nights to days to nights). But right now, I’m only working the night shift. There’s no reason for me to have an unusual sleep pattern.
I will go 30 hours without more than an hour of sleep. But then I can magically get in an 8 hour block the next day. Then it’s back to being up for another 24 hours… it’s very odd. And the weird thing is that I’m still fairly functional. People tell me that I’m just thinking too much and my heart rate is too high when I try to lay down. But honestly, the shit going through my head is just what I always would think about when trying to sleep. I visualize how to play songs. lol. Weird, I know, but it had always put me in such a relaxed state. Now I just don’t know what to do.
The other day I caught myself naming the 50 states out loud in my room. I stopped at Oregon and said to myself, “What in the world are you doing!?” Oh, and a little side note; I got through them all but one. And I thought of it about an hour later. Utah. lol. Of all the states.Â
I’m obsessed right now with this band called Cursive. In particular, the song “The Recluse”. You’ve gotta listen to this song. It’s total genius. Kinda has a Cure flair about it.
I’ve decided to add starting and ending dates to my new tattoo… in arabic. Sorry to those that don’t know what my new tattoo is. I really don’t feel like explaining it now.
I feel like I have an unusually abundant amount of “free time” these days. More likely than not it’s because of my non-existent sleep pattern. Anyways, I could do a MILLION things during this time. Especially work on the 5 or so new songs I’ve started but haven’t finished. Right now my creativity is like 3 big fat guys trying to squeeze through the same small doggie door. Instead I’m just pacing between a dozen different things at once… I’ll watch a movie for 20 minutes, turn on Armed Forces Network for another 20 minutes, read a book… read another book…listen to half a song… read an article… try to lay down… get up… watch another 30 minutes of the movie… etc etc etc.
This is my life as it stands right now. Sorry there wasn’t too much of a point like previous blogs. I guess I just wanted to turn off my brain for a minute.
