Pondering...

Crawling into bed, for me, is like swimming in a pool of abstract ideas. I splash around for a little while as if I have no idea how to swim. I think this is because when my mind wanders when I'd rather be sleeping, I feel like I'm being robbed of my sleep. The bandits sweep in, steal my trippy dreams, they make a mess, and all they leave are stupid, useless thoughts.

So, tonight I decided I'd curl up with bed with a good book. My rationale behind this was: having an author's whitty words fill my thoughts would be just the security system I needed. The novel on this evening's menu was Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs.... until I realized it was boring me to tears. I mean, it's an edgy book that Chuck Klosterman filled with pop culture insights, but as soon as the book was in print, the references were already out of date. I didn't realize this until I read Klosterman's intro--after I bought the book. That man probably values blogs. He apologizes about his out of date references in his book's prelude and blames it on the fact that once mostly anything makes it to print, it's probably outdated.

Since my plan failed, I have to resort to Plan B (and I don't mean the morning after pill)--sharing the stupid things that flood my brain with everyone out in cyberspace. And I think I'll use visuals! Here we go...
