Insomnia is a gross feeder. It will nourish itself on any kind of thinking, including thinking about not thinking.

So week seven without sleep starts now. This not sleeping thing has some advantages, such as...
I have caught up on reading, I've finished four books in two weeks
Monster Island
Monster Nation
Zombie Survival Guide
Make love the Bruce Campbell way
Thanks to a broadband connection and bittorrent I've also caught up on some television
The first season of Dexter
Burn Notice episodes one through nine
The Young Ones & Bottom
Video Games = Fuck Yeah!
Resident Evil 4 (wii) second play through
Bioshock third play through
Godfather (wii again) second play through
and thanks to Nintendo's virtual console I'm playing Super Metroid for the first time
And best of all, I've become a better blogger.
I sit here in front of my computer and I cant help but want to vent about not sleeping.
I have always had trouble sleeping, it's not a new development and I really really don't want to hear about people's complete lack of trouble sleeping. If I have to hear one more person tell me "as soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out like a light. I swear to god I will shake them till they bleed. I do understand how hard it is for people to wrap their heads around my situation, they assume I'm exaggeration when I tell them that I consider myself lucky to sleep four hours a night, shit I would feel blessed to get all four in a row. It sounds impossible, even to me and I'm the one dealing with it.
Dealing with it...
This is tough for me cause I have a hard time accepting that I am not going to sleep. None of the Natural supplements have worked and none of my "sleep exercises" are working anymore. sleep is a precious resource I take when I can get it, I fell asleep on the bus today went past my stop both inbound and outbound yep I missed that fucker twice. I hopped off and waited for another inbound bus to get me into Harvard Square but I totally missed my meeting at Harvard to pick up a miniDV tape and a hard drive to finish editing a project. This sucks even harder with the realization that I could be editing right now since I'm not asleep.
Well its 3:17 am I wonder whats on TV
