Night Owl

I've figured out why I'm this way. Completely sober (important to note, lol), I come up with the most amazing ideas at 3 in the morning. This is why I've always been up late at night. It's who I am. I was born at 11:04 p.m. and that's the time I like to start my night. I can't help it. I'm not a morning person and I don't understand the point of it. I'd rather be out and about during the witching hour. Too bad that's when all the criminals do most of their work, too. Why must you ruin things for everyone else because you do your "work" under the cover of darkness? Now people think night is dangerous when it's lovely. Simply marvelous. I feel the need to comment on the governor. I also want to talk about the "by the numbers" for political primaries, misunderstood black women, double minorities, HBCUs, the point of life, the ex, love, family, my grandmother, pets, the lives of my friends, death and whether its nigh because I'm so very thoughtful right now (I've read too many books about people who have died young), (l)on(e)ly children. I love parentheses. I know you couldn't tell by my posts. *giggling*

I even thought about doing another voice post particularly since I know you like them but I would be rambling and someone already had a complaint. It tells you the time so if you are unable to focus for more than 3.5 minutes, be out! Lolol. There's just so much to say and I still have 3 or 4 unread books on my bed and next to it. Reading blogs is taking up a lot of the time I previously spent reading offline. Unlike La and X, I'm no speed reader. I read fast (quickly) but not 900 page books in 2 hours fast. Oh the meaning of life. I feel a pseudo deep post coming on. A nice break from the levity, huh? I'm not sure of the direction or tone of this blog now that I've been daily blogging for 107 days (since Oct 31st) and have committed myself to it until December 31st. Honestly, it doesn't feel that long. (Sandy & Pig Red, does that make you feel better?) Blogging has a way of taking over your life. I think about things I'll do to mine in my downtime. When I'm not blogging, I'm thinking about it. Don't let me be doing something boring. I'm not paying attention to you or your... what exactly is it that you're doing right now?... I'm thinking about my blog and how I can adequately describe or thoroughly ignore the current situation. Some things aren't even worth mentioning.

Saturdays and Sundays I usually pull something out of the drafts because I work 22-23 hours in 2 days. Its exhausting and I can be rather verbose on every other day of the week. Thursdays in particular, my only full day off. I go in at 11:30 Friday night but have to spend the rest of the day planning to go in i.e. I have to go to bed at 2 at the latest, so I need to wake up very early and then I can do this but this will take too long and on and on. I don't want to think about work so I spend the entire day Thursday thinking about myself, my life, the world. The 20s are such a self-centered time in your life. Sometimes what comes out is just a series of rants, often it is, but sometimes I'm just sitting and thinking. And right now my mind is really really going. A million miles an hour. I think I'll go to sleep.
