What is it about friday that gets me so amped up? Every single friday I fuck it up. I get too excited and ruin it. No, that's not necessarily true. It's 5:30 in the morning and I just woke up fromm 5 hours sleep. When I dozed off the house sounded like crazy: yelling, screaming and laughing. I woke up and everyone was gone and all the lights were on. I guess I should have expected something like that. I couldn't stay awake despite having (after 7:00pm) one Starbucks iced coffee, 2 cups of instant, and 3 Sparks Light. That's a lot of caffeine and I think it just caught up with me. My body was just tired as fuck and it no longer wanted to stay vertical.
I guess it's more than just that. To be perfectly frank I was exhausted in just about ever single way I think I've ever been on friday. I painted all day at my parents' house which means I got up early. I was late for work on Monday and missed work at my folks' on thursday which means I got a tongue-lashing and the usual exhausting line about how I'm fucking up my life. I (voluntarily) called Efi because I had access to a groundline and I wanted to, and that's tiring and sad in a very real way. I guess it all just accumulated and I had to go to bed at 12:30.
So now it seems like the Sparks and coffee just started working, because I popped awake and started thinking. Efi said I might be obsessed with my bike and I think she might be right, because when I popped awake I wasn't fantasizing about fucking girls like a healthy boy, I was thinking about threading the new straps for my toe clips and getting new tires when I can afford them. I hope that's soon - that bike will be swell with some new feet.
So I guess that's about it for now. I think I just scared the bejesus out of Jesslyn who just came out of Jason's room for a middle-of-the-night glass of water. That's my cue to give sleep another try.
It is what it is

I'm thrilled to see that my blog link is inching closer to the top. Fuck those non-posters! I still check their blogs everytime I go through but I shouldn't really talk becasue I've been bad about posting. (PS When I read non-poster I thought not a poster i.e. posterboard)
i had a similar friday night. i don't know what happened. i was exhausted too. i fell asleep at like 8 i was so tired. woke up depressed for no reason, drank some bourbon and beer, felt even shittier, drank a martini, felt better, went to sleep again at like 2am, slept until 1pm today.
only i WAS dreaming about fucking girls like a healthy boy. i think you should duct-tape a pocket pussy to your bike and fuck it. how can you not fuck that?
yo will....
Saturday was my waterloo. big-time crash at 9 pm. never so glad to be in bed. too tired to even think or talk. maybe that's why sunday (commencing at 4am) was such a success. just give it all a rest.
on to the work week or in my case, the rehab continues. this week i need to return the feldenkrais table to the woman who lent it to me. seems like a lot of time has passed since you drove me to pick it up last feb. I remember her carrying the green leather table; gingerly making her way down the front steps and across the icy parkway of a green frame house in old town. why this woman chose to lend it to a total stranger for all these months is my mysterious good fortune. what a long strange trip it's been.
also part of my good fortune...a mini-ipod, ibook G4, small black stereo speakers. you got me up and running, metaphorically of course, and its been a blast. but at a bit of a tech plateau and you're the only elaine in town.
could you call ? would like to finish week's schedule. availabiity ? pays cash. for cycle ?
ciao

I used to hate sleeping because I thought it was a waste of time and made my life inefficient.
Luckily I wised up and realized sleep is such a great thing; we can't take it for granted, so I hope you knocked yourself out, dude.
Because problems only arise when you think sleeping's better than being awake.. which has been my case lately since I've been roughing it for a while.
I think (and dream) about biking alot too. Tommy may be onto something there... haha

Will,
Sparks Light? What are you warding off the old spare tire? Spare tire, biking, significant others, oh the undertones of this comment are outrageous. Hey, I'm gonna be in Chitown this weekend, you gonna be around? Yeah I hope so.
