In the middle of the night....
It seems that the night has barely begun, and it feels like it might go on forever. This is not good. Boring is something that I don't do well, but it is written all over this night.
I really shouldn't bitch... exciting is much harder on my nerves, in the long run. But I don't need real exciting, just a little bit maybe.
Brother Dan said that the population control in China is only really working in the four largest cities. So much for info that I get out of Time (or maybe it was another mag that I found lying around.) So I guess nobody has solved it, and nobody probably ever will. OK, bring on the war and famine. O'wait... wait another 20-30 years, then I won't have to worry about it.
I guess then I'll have to worry about my kids and grandkids. What can one do to insure the comfort and well-being of one's lineage, anyway? I guess they'll have to take their chances, like I did.
But the Great War was fought by my father's generation, to ensure freedom for all... I don't really see what my generation has done for the future, though. What will our legacy be?
03:41.... what a boring night. And it's not just me, either. Everyone here's bored, but I'm the only one who will admit it. I have none of those silly superstitions... (Gee, I hope no-one heard that!) Anyway, I've got all of my work done.... have had for three hours... waiting for the sun, as Morrison said. The sun and the bed.
And I did sleep pretty well yesterday, too, from 09:00 until 17:00, eight hours. I also begged some antibiotics from the ER doc yesterday, I was starting to blow green snot outa my head. It's been less than 24 hours, and I do feel better already. I hope this will continue. In spite of my earlier statement, I do have my fingers crossed!
06:40.... and nothing happened. All night long.
I'm trying really hard to decide if I want to stay up today or not. My body say "go to bed" but I would kinda like to turn around... but then I would have to turn around again in two days... nah! It's not worth it... I'll just go to bed.
More later, maybe...
