Insomnia II

Dear Blog,

First off, the last time I tried to post anything, you were having technical difficulties and refused to save. So you can't say I didn't try. It takes two, you know?

So do I give you the recap about what I've been doing since we last spoke, or do I take this moment to publicly bitch about not being able to sleep? Ironically, the reasons I'm unable to sleep are likely tied to what I've been up to since we last spoke. Not that it was bad, but you know what I mean.

A good blog contains useful information that will keep people coming back. Or, at least a few juicy details about someone's private life that people can live vicariously through. Unfortunately, at 3:00AM, my brain contains no useful information, and I have no idea why people post intimate, personal information on the worldwide web.

Here's a stab at trying to be useful: Is there a cure out there for chronic insomniacs? Because I've tried melatonin, warm milk, bananas (eating them, you pervert), and every kind of hard core prescription drug, but nothing seems to work. Valium at least makes for interesting dreams, but the problem is, you don't feel like you ever really slept after taming giant fleas, being raised by a pack of guinea hens, or leading a board meeting naked AND without makeup.

A good blog probably offers some real solutions, not asks the questions. So I'll work on that and get back to you. Not that you care, because you're a BLOG and you never sleep anyways.

Well, there it is. My quarterly post. I hope you enjoyed it, Universe.

Good night.
