Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I don't have sleeping problems ever since I ended doing the graveyard shifts.

Now I just feel sleepy when I wake up no matter how long I slept :P

I've been an insomniac my whole life. When it's important to sleep, I sometimes pop some benadryl or have a big glass of whiskey before bed. Otherwise I have about a 25% chance of being up all night. On the whole, there are probably at least two nights a week I get less than four hours of sleep. Sucks.

Once in college I had mono and was in the hospital for a month. Due to sleep deprivation from working the night shift and attending class in the day. I was going sometimes four days without sleeping. You really do begin hallucinating. For me it began as smells. I smelled burning rubber several times when there wasn't any. It was probably the smell of my brain cells melting.

I sleep a lot better since I switched jobs.

However, no matter what I do, I wake up every day between 5 and 6 am. I've tried going to bed two weeks in a row way past midnight - no change in sleep pattern. Only thing it did I was dead tired at work. It's extremely rare that I sleep till 7, or even 9 (usually after drinking a lot and going to bed at 3am.

5-6 has been my natural wake-up time for as long as I can remember.

I've had no problems sleeping once I developed multiple sleep disorders.  But that's its own set of problems.

The Rooskies are going to send a Bear and another plane on a friendly visit to Barksdale AFB. There, they will compete in the "Who has the oldest Airframe? contest.

2 BUFFS will return the favor later.

Even their prop planes are hideous.

Holy shit, does a vet cost a lot of money.  Fuck.

Also, good work, you stupid fucking cat, pissing in the carrier so that you had to be hospitalized for your urine sample, costing me more money and you more time in a terrifying place.  EXCELLENT.  Why am I a vegetarian again, if these are among the brightest minds animalia has to offer?

Just been to a bit of a going away party for some friends at the park.
There was one guy showed up later on who I hardly know, some American guy who is a friend of a friend. He seemed to be rather drunk, he was hitting on some of the girls in a rather....aggressive way. You could see them recoiling away from him.
After a bunch of people had left to catch their train he was one of the few left, he wanted a smoke but nobody had a lighter, walking through the park we notice someone smoking and one person goes over to ask them for a light. He comments "Lets go over there! She looks hot!" blah, blah, etc..... Typical desperate for anything stuff.
The smoker comes closer....it is of course a guy in a tank top.
