Insomnia attacks swiftly and doesn't let you go.
Been going through that motion for the last few nights, and I don't think I'll be let out of it for a few. I do still have Excedrin PM, but I hesitate to use that... as it happens, I'm not much of a light sleeper, and having to be up at an early hour really conflicts with the urge to crash--and stay crashed.
Dreaming has been effortless lately-- although I'm finding it hard to remember exactly what it is I'm going into these days. Calm dreams though. That at least is a bonus.
Also-- was googling around, doing the usual relatives search..found Calvary Tabernacle or something similar..Uncle Joe's church..heard his testimony for the first real time..always caught bits and pieces from Mom..but yeah.. I'm nearly 27 and I still think he's a interesting guy (Always thought he was kinda cool as a kid, due to the music thing and the creative writing bit..although at times it was hard to understand distant relatives...or any of my relatives for that matter..it's always been some kind of secret unspoken thing between us all..but that's for another day.)
Two big things struck me while listening, aside from how good a storyteller he is live-- 1. Usage of the Wizard of Oz as a metaphor for his younger life..(Was an obsession for me back in the day--read scripts, watched outtakes, etc.).. 2. How much he sounds like Billy Joel--in speaking voice.. Never really noticed that. Actually, it's kinda weird. He and Mom don't talk much(Hard to when being far away), but they sound similar when you get them talking about something--not the voice so much, but the general inflections...But yeah..He's Billy dead on--or at the very least, Long Island sounding, if that makes sense(it does to me.)
Not much else going on. I do enjoy the comfort of a quiet night, but it's hard watching the sun come up and trying to survive on fumes. Really must make an effort to sleep semi-normally.
