Here To Waste Another Two Minutes Of Your Life...
Ever try to think about sleep while you're trying to sleep? It kind of negates the whole trying to go to sleep thing. But if you think about it, it's kinda weird how those various stages of consciousness work, how time seems to fly by, yet it never seems to be enough...for me, at least. I've always wondered what it would be like to hibernate, to sleep the whole winter and not have to worry about the severe cold. Would it go by fast or slow? Fast, I would think, since that's the general speed of sleep. Oh well...

Speaking of the whole sleeping process, ever had a lucid dream? Freaky as shit. First of all, a lucid dream is a dream where you're awake, but still dreaming. But the freakiest thing of all is that since your body is paralyzed when you dream, (so you don't act them out or run off while sleeping or something) it's still paralyzed when you're awake. So while you're having this dream about some demonic monster eating other people while trying to chase you and eat you, you're awake thinking it's real and paralyzed. Not cool.

Wow am I boring...

Today was uneventful, per usual. Highlight of the day, as always, was talking to Samantha. The day could've been warmer...

Ok, I'm getting bored with myself, so I'll do the next best thing and sleep.

"Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion."

	my friend Jesse and I were talking about that during Spring break - it was like 2 in the morning and we were half dead and just sitting around talking, and she was trying to figure out what actually makes you fall asleep, and what makes you wake up, and I still can't figure it out..

Sleeping is defined as an altered state of subconsciousness where the mind produces images called "dreams" to restore and replenish chemicals in the brain that were used during the day. What actually causes the sleep? Hell if I know...I just know what happens during it...more than likely though it's probably just your mind shutting down from exhaustion...who knows?
