Insomnia Sucks

Here I lay wide awake at 3:24 am. Its all a fallout from my cold. It just threw off my sleeping pattern completely since I was sleeping during the day and now I can only describe my current state as tweaked. I never was a tweaker, never wanted to be one, but I have a little peak into their lives, and I want out. I have watched TV, read several chapters in Small is the New Big, a book by my marketing Guru, Seth Godin. Then when that failed, I watched some more TV, on a volume setting of two I'll have you know, with one being basically inaudible except perhaps to rats and mole like creatures. I got shushed twice by my wife asking me to turn it down. So I gave up and left the marital bed to come downstairs. There all three dogs looked at me as if to say "what the hell are you doing up, and would you please go away, we are trying to sleep." I tried to ignore their curled up bodies, sleeping peacefully. I dove into what I had recorded on Tivo. Watched an episode of Man Vs. Wild, a show Dary turned me onto as a joke. He is a fan of the show Survivorman, a Canadian guy who goes off into all of these crazy survival missions, alone for six or seven days. He films everything himself, and he is definitely a badass. So Dary says to checkout Man Vs. Wild because he thinks this guy is just a complete "Survivorman Light." His take is the guy in Man Vs. Wild is better looking, all sort of Hollywooded out, and the wuss has a camera crew with him, therefore clearly his show is a joke. Look to the best of my knowledge the camera crew doesn't help him in the slightest, but what they do provide is really good footage, unlike Survivorman who has to shoot everything himself. And yeah the guy is better looking, he's an ex special forces British guy with clearly a waxed chest. But this guy I dare say is a bigger badass. Rather than just experiencing whatever he would experience he jumps into danger so he can show you how to get out. Like he jumps into a frozen pond, and sits in it for several minutes so he can explain exactly how to get out and then what to do once you are out. Anyhow six one way a half a dozen the other or however the saying goes, both of these guys are far bigger badasses than I'll ever be. So I watch an entire episode, am I tired, not the slightest. So I jump on the laptop and I read about a dozen Digg articles on the post mortem of the Mac World conference and how the world is taking the big news of Apple TV and Iphone. Still no yawn, no sign of sleep ahead. So I decide to browse through the Tivo again. I find a few things to checkout, then I go to live TV and I watch that horrible newscast that is on at 3am on ABC where two zombies sit there and pretend like they have an audience. When in reality their only audience is insomniac zombies like myself. At least they had a piece on from Mac World with an interview with Steve Jobs. And that leads me to now. I figured if I type away and pump out a blog surely that will earn a yawn, a sigh, some sign of forthcoming sleep. Nope, wide awake.
