Blogging...

Wed May 24, 2006, 3:58 AM
Y'know, i think i've missed not having a blog page. now that i have one, i'm going to clog it up with all kinds of random mianderings to annoy everyone. god bless the internet!

I've been thinking lately about sleep. It's a wierd phenomenon, for half the day our bodies require us to completely shut down and then boot up again. It seems pointless, wouldnt' evolution have served us better if we could just opperate non-stop? Ah, but i'm forgetting, evolution happened in a time with no electric lights, no all night salad bars, no vegas. When humans were evolving we were helpless during the night, so some of us used that time to recharge and reboot, and these were the ones that survived and had successful offspring, and so sleep evolved.

Sleep is when we're most vulnerable. Shakespeare used it all the time. Macbeth kills King Duncan while he's asleep, Puck the Hobgoblin turns Bottom into and Ass when he's asleep, the list goes on. When we're asleep, we completely loose control of the situation. If this were anything less necessary, less routine, the lack of control would probably be scary. But we have to sleep, so we just do. Whether we wake up the next morning dead, or an ass, or anything really is up to fate.

In this way sleep is almost sacred. For someone to share their sleep with you is incredibly meaningful. To sleep with someone - and i'm not talking about sex, that's a whole other kettle of fish (if that's what does if for you :P) - but to sleep with someone, next to them, to trust someone enough that you'll share your most vulnerable moments with them... that's one of the most meaningful bonds two people can have. You have to completely surrender yourself to that person, and them to you. Maybe that's why waking up next to some random after a big night is so disturbing, not because you probably went at it like rabbits - i'm still not talking about sex, that's different. With sex there is still some control for both of you - but because you surrendered almost completely to that person by falling asleep. Sleep makes you so very vulnerable, it's scary, but at the same time it's kinda thrilling. To share that with some one else is something unlike anything else. It's special...

Well, that's enough from me for the moment.
EMOTICON OF THE DAY: of course - :sleepy:

Hey. Sorry I didn't reply to your comment earlier, I haven't checked my DA for AGES.

I pretty much made it up. I'm really into Thrash Metal and there are the four Horsemen of Thrash: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. I play guitar and, while in an up-my-own-arse mood, I decided on this name.

What about you? Where did you get it?
It's from a Terry Pratchet book, have you read his series "Discworld"? Anyway, there's a comment about the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse, Ronnie Soap, who left before the group really took off and became famous. i guess i just like it because it trivialises stuff. wierd how our two reasons were so unconnected and yet we got to the same name, eh.

.:Isn't it about time you called in the CAVALRY!:.
Lol, yeah.
I haven't read them actually, although my Dad loves them. I guess I should try them out.
Oh damn, I seem to forget that my super-hot girlfriend knows my password and can do pretty much anything she wants in my account at any time she feels like it!!!

Yeah, who's not so smart now!!!!
