As far as bags under my eyes, nope, not tripping over them. And since I am in perfect health in every which way, except admitedly for a bunch of cavities that needed to be filled in the past, I must be doing something right because a positive attitude in conjunction with doing it “my way” equals a healthy, well adjusted individual who looks at the world of sleepers and feels they are missing out on life. Whats the old saying, time enough to sleep when you are dead.
If someone like Felicia (happy birthday by the way sweetie) or anyone works long days, then on their day off sleep, they are missing out on something unique, at least in my opinion. That being of course life. As a young 46 year old myself, trust me, it goes very fast and I for one will not spend those precious few days, months and years working my ass off. Oh by the way, the joke about tea and strumpets was just that a joke from a Jerry Lewis movie I think. Boy, talk about a lack of a sense of humor, wheew.
I know I am unique, and probably fall into a category with few others who were born on Friday the 13th, experiencing mostly bad luck. Topped with a heavy dose of self-awareness and oyu have a person who yes, can be bitter some times, but in the end, does it matter how much money we made or is it really about being kind to one another and living a life of peace in harmony with your surroundings, whatever they may be, and just enjoy yourself.
Of course, disagreeing with me is to be expected but we are all entitled yea, thats the beauty of the 1st amendment. But under no circumstances are you to yell out “movie!!” in a public fire house.

And as for the strumpets, perhaps we’ll just gloss over that….but the tea is good! And crumpets. But then I’m from England originally so that’s basically comfort home cooking for me.

As for your sleep phobia, whatever works for you. When you start tripping over the bags under your eyes it’s probably time to grab 40 winks.

I’m tired, ya know that? Just tired. But it’s a conscious decision. No, don’t worry, I don’t drive tired. I’m a stay at home dad so no need to be concerned, but sleeping to me seems a waste of time. We are given so little of it, time that is and even if I am up watching some cheesy movie, at least I am awake and enjoying life. We can all sleep later when we’re dead right.

Of course it’s morbid, but even if we live until we’re 80, it still goes so freakin fast. So why spend a 1/3 of your time sleeping? Actually, losing sleep is probably another contributing factor to aging. I mean a lack of sleep has got to be a strain on the ‘ol system.

So why then do I do it? You know late at night, I’ll go out on the porch (I live on a semi-busy street) and that late it’s as if the whole world is asleep except for me. No, it’s not insomnia, I just don’t like to sleep. Well, alone anyway (eh eh).

Toodles

Words of wisdom, there. I hope that Ms Day takes them to heart – otherwise we’ll have to stage some sort of online intervention .

You know, I have a theory, trying to figure out what makes people age. And I’m sure there are lots of contributing factors, but one of them has got to be stress. Choking on gas fumes while driving on a crowded highway is also one of the contributing factors but personally stress is the worse.

Did you know you can “think” your way into getting sick? It’s true, the mind, our brains only 10% in use in all reality is one of the best defenses against stress. The problem is we cannot tap into that other 90%.

Video games definately helps aliviate stress. As does kissing and cuddling a great guy.

So I leave you with this question…is it such a bad thing to give oneself more than 42 minutes in a day to themselves? The bottom line is you don’t have to live this way as no-one makes you do it but you. It’s not as if anybody is forcing you to live this way so it must be by choice. Some small part of you knows 42 minutes isn’t enough or you wouldn’t have mentioned it.

If you take your time, what’s the worse that will happen? Trust me, the plane won’t leave without you. Me, yes it would leave without me but not you so you might as well not think about it, which should also help reduce stress which again is a contributing factor in aging. Gravity plays a part to. But that’s a story for another day.
