12am, 12:30am, sometimes 11:30 pm.
This is not good. Here I am though – on the net and it’s 10:57pm. Let’s make this reasonable and attainable. To be fully rested every night, I should go to bed at least by 10pm. Since I know myself too well, I will set the goal a little more realistically and then eventually lower it down.
Weekends are a little tougher, but I don’t really go out much, so lets say weekday bedtime is 11pm. Weekends will be by midnight.
I will need to do this for… lets say 2 weeks and then I will drop the weekday time by 30 minutes to 10:30pm, eventually getting it down to 10, which would be ideal (so much to do, so much to do!!!)
I think another thing that would help me get organized with my sleeping schedule is a routine schedule – or a set of rules. (Like no cleaning after 9pm, etc) Basically I think I try to fit too much into one day. I need to get more organized a list my priorities. I’m sure I can conquer this problem.
The main reason I want to sleep better is because sleep deprivation is awful. Adults that go on like this for years are apt to get sicker more quickly, are fatigued, irritable, get headaches, can’t concentrate and just all around feel crappy. Well, I want to feel good and be healthy. I’m really going to ride myself on this one because I know I have deprived my brain of valuable sleep for quite sometime now. I’m just going to have to drop everything else and put myself first – like now!
Goodnight! ;p

As the recent events are still having me stumbling around, looking for something firm to grasp so I can steady myself, I’m realizing that I feel as if I’m in a fog. But it’s sort of like a life fog – you know when you’re living your life day-to-day and you never lift your head up to see the big picture? I want more out of life than just working at someone’s company (no matter how insanely nice and comfortable it may be). I want to discover the world and keep learning. Is it possible to outgrow a city as big as LA? What then? I’m sure I haven’t given it a chance, but I’m scared I’ll wake up one day and it has been 5, 10, even 20 years from now and I’m stuck in the same job, exact same apartment and nothing to show for my life…
I know I want to be more creative. Right now I push paper and numbers. I feel like I’m pretty good at it. Even though my employer is extremely nice, I feel like I’m not truly happy there. Perhaps the first step in this is to take a few art or design classes… maybe doodle around on the computer and see what I can come up with. (After all some of my other goals on here are graphic design related.) Not that that is definitely what I would love to do… maybe that’s the issue… I know what I want, but I’m not good enough, yet, but I need something real worldly to hold me over… but I would like a little more creativity than adding, subtracting, dividing, etc… it’s too b&w… and the air in there is really really dry. lol. I’ve noticed that. I’m constantly thirsty in this city. Kinda like my thirst for life!
