on 12/31/2003 I was sleepy, so I actually took a nap.
At X pm, Danielle called but said would talk to me after I woke up
10pm-2:30ish I am @ Church
3am ish see Danielle online, but she goes to bed.
4am ish-10:30am ish sleep...get crazy dream that wakes me.
11:13AM-1:33pm writing 2nd BLOG entry, etc.
3:30pm-4:15pm eating with bro & Granny D.
4:30pm-8:30pm @ "office" with buisness partners to set goals for the year
8:30pm-9:15pm Nap before work.
8:50pm Danielle Calls, but says for me to sleep instead.
10:30pm on way 2 work, Call Danielle, but no answer
10:40pm-7am @ Work
12pm-3am Sleeping to Jewel's "Spirit" (Track 2 keeps skipping)
1am? Danielle called but said 4 me 2 call when I woke up
3:04am called Danielle, but now i think she's asleep...no answer.
3am-3pm awake @ home. Spent much of the day chatting online & adding links to this site.
4pm back in bed...typing this blog.
Guess Danielle will call soon once I fall asleep
It's hard for me to seperate my life into "Days" Life seems like such a blur of events without divisions. The above timeline goes from 12/31 till 1/3. This BLUR apparently is common with those who work nights....as is missing calls. The blur isn't simply because one is consious through at least 2 calendar dates at a time, but the actual BLUR is on account that we don't get proper rest. When you live on sleeplessness all thoughts get a little blurred...memories even more so. All the more reason to keep journals!
"But you've slept!" you may be thinking after reading the above timeline. That's true...I made sure I slept. And sometimes I sleep real long...BUT the problem is when we DON'T sleep. We night folks tend to stay up for long periods. like the above example shows about 26hours awake with 2 naps..
Then I slept 15 hours and am still sleepy. And if I don't sleep now, I'll feel crappier than usual 2morrow (Sunday) as I have to stay up till at lleast 1pm after workin 10:30pm-7am
I know i know..its not cuz I work nights, but that i dont organize my thyme propery. BUT can u imagine a day person, without insomnia staying up 26 hours commonly? Aint happening! Night people stay up in the day because they want/need to interact with the other humans, or do things during "Business hours"
And I don't want to give it up. I am such a night person.

On Mon 5th 1:08 am Danielle called me but got my voicemail.
8:25am, I called her, but got her voicemail
FINALLY talk in the afternoon for a few minutes.
So it took at least 8 calls for us to get to talk for a few minutes.

I am lying on my bed
just had a silly dispute with mom.
I stayed up all night and now am sleepy
mom wants to catch the Can-Can sale before the store gets crowded. she doesnt drive or lift Can-Cans, and I'm the only available candidate to do both.
I'm tired...got an appointment @ 7pm dont wanna go, and wouldn't be the most alert driver either.
blah blah blah..."bah bah black sheep"...stalemate.
I know I'm wrong for disobeying...but as usual my excuse is I'll gladly obey...later...like 10pm in this case.
Mum takes it personal, & thus is hurt right now.
If only everyone i dealt with were night people! (then would I become a day person???)

It's now 6:47pm, and I'm lying in bed yet again. about to take another nap before work.
I just wanted to add since writing the above portion of this entry, i have spoken with a few people who work knights, and I must take back some of the generalizations I used to describe people who work/live overnights. What I wrote descibes me, and the life I make for myself. Just me...and anyone who mimics me. It doesnt have to e that way. I can scheduel and prioritize so that relationships, productivity, and my heath aren't hit. I'll figure it out!!

=) Praise God, LIFE is good! and if it wasn't good, Praise God anyway! My mind gets ovewhelmed when I think of all the Good stuff God has done, made, given, and IS. This happens often while I'm driving. I get so overwhemed, my mind goes into reverse to protect itself! i start thinking of how amazing any 1 thing about/from/of God, and how that 1 thing alone would make himworthy of ALL Praise! How cool is it that God gave us Taste Buds??? Imagine just eating without them. Yes I believe the human species could likely survive without them, but surely many more would be dead fro eating poizonous sttuff. Eating would be sooooooooooo boooooooring and mundane! Just to eat cuz U know you have to, and to avoid hunger pains? We'd still smell food, but enjoy the food more by smelling it than eating it? Most people would probably eat very few foods...there'd be no incentive to taste something new, and different. Hmm...America wouldn't have been discovered by europeans! After all, it was on a search for spices! I know - your thinking that most taste is reallyfrom smell. So What if we couldn't smell but still taste??? Imagine drinking white Vinegar thinking it's water!

The Phone Tag continues: Called Danielle from my job...she asked if she could call me back. When she did at 4:15AM, I didn't know till 50 minutes later when I got the voicemail (I bet Sprint PCS is to blme for most of this)
heh heh....this afternoon, when I called Danielle, and got her voicemail (of course). I left the message, "TAG!! You're IT!..."
1:38AM, Called me back, but I was finally asleep.
2:12PM, Called her back. Voicemail again. Guess she's sleeping now. She's IT! LOL
Guess I better transfer this file to my PC to upload it to the BLog. I've kept you all waiting long enough!
Catch ya's soon!
