Sleep Cycles and Lost Patience

Lately, my sleep cycle has been totally reversed. I stay up until 8 AM. I sleep all day, then I really can't do anything but stay up again the next night. It's kind of a pain in the ass. In an effort to reverse this tedium, I'll be staying up all night tonight and all day.

Needless to say, this has been a tedious and boring endeavor. I have very little to occupy my attention because, let's face it, I'm a boring procrastinator. I've been surfing the web. I've updated my Twitter feed and Facebook status more than necessary. I've watched a totally stupid movie. Last, and most upsetting, I stumbled upon a friend's drunken webcast.

I should say that the reason I find this to be upsetting is two-fold. First, this friend is a little vulgar and, frankly, it's rather unbecoming. It makes me wonder if I'm so completely intolerable when I'm intoxicated (I fucking hope not!). Secondly, the idea of getting drunk in another person's honor or name or even for their entertainment just smacks of idiocy to me. I mean, what kind of people watch another person get blasted for their entertainment? Could they possibly care about you that much, lost friend? Also, any fool can get drunk to amuse someone else. Doing that is a waste of time, brain cells, and resources. We spend too much time trying to entertain others and not enough time being ourselves. (Some of you would argue that drinking oneself stupid is being true to oneself. To you I say, shut it. If that's how you're true to yourself, I shudder to think where you'll be in ten years when other people don't find drunkenness as funny anymore.) I guess I'm disappointed in this person, who you may have noticed is staying genderless and anonymous--there's a reason for that. I had higher hopes for you, dude.

I'm so bored that I'm going to get some food and actually work on my paper--shocking, I know.
