insomnia is my nemesis

Many of you know that I have always suffered from insomnia. It is something I have always taken pride in, not just the fact that I can function on no sleep for over a week. Many say that this is not possible, but I am living proof that it is totally possible. So, you may ask yourself why I am posting about this... good question. About a month before my departure to this beautiful vacation spot I had overcome my insomnia, almost entirely... but since being here I have had a hard time keeping on my now normal sleep schedule and thus my insomnia has returned... hence the 4am blog post!! Well I've come to several realizations on this particular night that have caused me to come here to ... vent? I'm not sure that is the right word, but I'll go with it for now.

First, most of us 90's kids are proud to claim this title. But as of tonight, I am no longer a proud 90's kid. In fact I am disturbed... ? I mean come on, have you ever even watched Full House, or Sabrina the Teenage Witch... If you have you know what I am talking about. Ridiculous. I am very embarrassed.

Second, I hate AM Television. 'Nuff said 'bout that.

Third, I want to build something. ( completely random tangent that has nothing to do with my train of thought... :)

Fourth, Justin Beiber? I mean really? What have we done as a society to throw away all modes of brain activity and to accept this as a form of good "entertainment" or "music". He is what 12? Okay MAYBE 13... and he is singing these songs about things that 13 year olds should not even know about... maybe I'm just a sheltered Utah kid, but seriously!? Do all 12 and 13 year old kids actually know what he is talking about!? I think not, or at least I hope not. We should be ashamed to support in any way this kind of garbage.

Other than that I'm just peachy. Actually rather enjoying myself, in a house all alone, rocking out ( I mean completely rocking with the volume blasting, nearly blowing out the windows...) to Paramore, Chris Merritt, and other great artists. The wee hours of the morning are often full of entertainment (so long as they are not sought from the TV set... there is nothing good on at this hour. I PROMISE YOU!).

Much love,

oh yeah... I almost forgot a photo! hmm...

This is one that I took back in April... but I LOVE this photo. Maybe it will inspire you. :)
