This is unusual that I would even THINK of being awake at this time of the morning on a Sunday.

Something woke me up at about 645 am and I could not get back to sleep today. I tried though....oh yes I did try!! But my mind was racing a billion miles a minute thinking about everything from U2, to coins, to my dentist appt. tomorrow at 720am, to work.....


So, I thought I'd spend some time on the diary.

It's funny what the mind does when the body won't go back to sleep.

The thoughts get outrageous as there nothing you can do about ANYTHING at 645 am on a Sunday. Then there's the things you can't do anything about anyway.
For instance, I find myself stressing over the rumors that U2 are going to play stadiums in the US on the upcoming tour. I hate stadium shows.....too many people, sound is never that great, and usually I get seats about 20 miles away. "Well it LOOOOOKS like BONO....But...I'm not SURE!!"

But I can't do a thing about it but wonder if I'll even buy tickets. ( But yeah, you know I will.)

Then after fully stressing about that, then there's the work relationship that bugs me.....really can't do a thing about that either.

Then there's the coins I'd like to acquire soon and I start thinking of ways to afford them. One of them is really expensive...I'll find a way though...I gotta have that one.

The thing is about all of this is I know how downright dumb, and what a waste of time spending all of this thought energy is about things a person really can't change. But, I think it is human nature to try and affect the world around us all. Either for our own gains or for the selfless betterment of society, it is our nature to dream of ways to change about anything.

The bad part about this desire is, we often times fail to make changes for the better in ourselves.
We tend to believe it's the other thing or person that needs "fixing".

Sometimes it's true, though!! But introspection is a grander thing...and a harder thing to do.

I'll probably check in later and tell you all about the day...just my thoughts for now!!

(Continued 150pm Feb.8,09)

As the day has progressed, so has my temperment. I watched a little hockey, took a bath, and went to the strip mall next door to get a haircut, and then proceeded to the market in the same mall to get some hot dog buns and some german chocolate brownies.

I came back home and boiled some dogs while me and my wife scarfed down most of the brownies. Great thing being an adult...you can eat whatever you want..when you want!!

By this time the dogs were done, and we garnished our own buns and ate the dogs...afterwards we finished the 3 brownies that were left. My wife is taking a nap right now...she fell off while we watched some murder shows together on Discovery Channel.

I have thought all day about the dental appt. tomorrow. I need a crown and am getting fitted for that tomorrow. I had a root canal several years ago but neglected getting a crown on it, and now the tooth is getting brittle. I never really feared the dentist. My dad made sure we all went every 6 months when we were kids growing up. I have been lucky to have good teeth, too. Thick enamel.

That's about it for today. I'll most likely spend the rest of the day relaxing after I clean out the litter box. I have 2 cats. I believe dinner is done (the dogs) and I have no dishes to do tonight. I'll most likely watch 60 minutes and various other shows to pass time until I go to bed at about 1030 pm and I'll awake at about 6 am to get ready for the dentist, and then off to work.

That's my day...how was yours?
