So for those who know me ya'll are already aware that I do not sleep (Im a machine jerk) and when you are all safely within ur dream land goin through your REM Im up and doin something (pointless or with meaning) with my time. Why am I capable of such awesomeness? Well I used to answer because I used to sleep all day and I was nocturnal but as Ive aged Ive come to realize I sleep a lot less during the days and for some reason Im feeling as rested which leads me to believe either Im sort of witch (keep the buckets of water away) or that I have a serious medical issue and in that case I kno Ive had a good run.
For me this insomnia has amounted in me surviving most of my academic career (fingers crossed its over in 2012) in writing and studying till wee hours of the night hunched over a desk or propped against my bedhead and I realize admist all insanity and the sleep deprived hallucinations I do some of my best thinking during these times (the other times being wen im in the bathroom, shower or shittin Im brilliant in there, and wen Im really really upset because I get so deep into my head I analyze the world so much) and at the end of the day the main thing this blog is about is inspiring thought be they new, violent, insane, what have you. So back to insomnia, I kno not all are able to handle seeing the clock tick the hours by and sleep feelin like an impossibility but I embrace it to the point where my friends usually call or text (or fb message me) if they see 4am hit and their bored simply because they know I RELISH these times.
I told my cousin the other day I consider myself an owl; huge eyes, quick, creepy and deceptively wise not to mention I have an appetite for small rodents that I have to catch with my feet. Point is clarity and perception is where you find it and I found mine on the night shift... little Busy Signal refence for ya'll :D
P.S - Why didnt anyone tell me this track had a video? Where have I been? Big ups to BUSY lol

so I was never writing a line . and I needed two lines to say this ! lmaoo , but Jel I love this vocab going on in this blog , using certain words to make the story pop .. especially some words I really haven`t heard in ages (no you`re not old). But big ups to my favourite dancehall artist busy signal ... loll bout one more night and night shift , lmao sounds like your insomnia soundtrack . Who the hell knows why you`re posting stuff up at 6:19 AM , but hey , that`s who you are Jel . BTW , loooove the comparison between you and the owl, I think I might photoshop a pic of you & an owl just to have a clear vision of this .
ReplyDeleteLMAO Jenna please do it and I will eventually make that a profile pic of some sort. LOL hey Im still cool...Im still hip, and with it. I was actually gonna post Up All Night from Drake since thats wat I usually reference but this was smoother. O and thanks for the (sarcastic) vocab love, Im letting the way I think spew all over the place and editing it slightly just so its readable....sorry couldnt find a better word for it
ReplyDeletelmaoooo you know , i think the whole vocab thing was the only part that wasn`t sarcastic jel ! nice one though :)
ReplyDeleteLol of course not but it was the most obvious part so the easiest to mention. Thank you kindly Brownyn... again lol :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome, that post was a Hoot(a bit forced) very well constructed and stayed true to your point and avoided B.S'ing me to death. I too used to be in your shoes but i found that i sleep from sunrise to Sun highpoint. and no matter how many hours of sleep i get, if i have to wake up from 8-11....i don't. something about th rising sun puts me to bed(that's a euphemism waiting to happen). My only thing with the insomnia is the lack of desire to do shit. which is why i've been forcing myself to sleep when i'm just oggling facebook pictures or staring at a wall.
ReplyDeleteNot that(although i am) i am ashamed of your insomnia you didn't mention the cons(Megatrons and Starscreams)what problems you have with insomnia??
Well my friend the Grouch, I tried to its difficult to do due to the amount that I jus go on tangents but Im glad you got it. Well Ive been on a random productive mode when I get into my insomniac modes. Like sometimes I read up on things (hint hint) or I try to catch up on some music altho often times I do end up jus facebook stalking which is why I started this blog, so when these moments hit I have somethin to do.
ReplyDeleteThe cons of insomnia are jus that I feel like Im wasting a lot of time and so when I do get sleep is time I could be spending with my friends or family but their asleep so its hard to readjust insomnia to real life standards but I try.
PS - Megatron and Starscream comparisons? I lve it!
I just woke up to take a quick shit and I stumbled upon this. Jelani, you know you're my black jesus brah. I like how you're going with your blogs and I've got a few tips if you'd like for me to share to make them that much better, and I'm not trying to sound like a cunt lol. I just like how you keep them fairly short to medium length but chock full of body, which you should continue. Also, the little bites here and there in between sentences are making me just enjoy it more. I'm glad you and ill continue to be yourselves, even in internet form. And well....I gave you tips anyways, fuck you nigga I can do what I want! Oh also, I'm going back to sleep, when I wake I'll finish your other posts. So keep your hooters in check. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteUm Thanks for that profanity filled comment there JPM, Im glad your enjoying these opinions in internet form. I was expecting harsher, deeper cutting tips but thank you positive reinforcement I'll keep on keeping on. I look forward to more random and quite frankly frightening comments from you when you wake up :D
