3 AM

 Having a day of awesome music and an extremely large flow of creativity, tend to get my brain way over stimulated. As a result, I didn't fall asleep till 3 in the morning, which also meant I was awake for over 19 hours yesterday.  But, it always seems to happen on the nights before an event or something with which I am involved. So, today has been a rather off day, but when I woke up, I seemed to be rather well rested considering I got a little less then 6 hours of sleep. But typically, less sleep like this tends to have my attention span shorted as well, unless it's not on anything super important. But, going outside and working for a little bit did a good amount of clearing my head. The outdoors version of Spring cleaning. Pruning trees and bushes and the like is a nice thing, because you're clearing the area as well as your head.
 So that was my 3 am. I am definitely not going to bed when I did last night, nor am I going to stimulate my brain so much. There's a line between just listening to music, and then not taking a break from it all day, which with me almost always causes the constant replaying of the loudest song over and over again in my head as I try to go to sleep. And yet I never seem to learn.

Me - It wont matter how much I listen to this rock song.
Me at 3 am - I will not do this again.
Me two months later - It wont matter how much I listen to this song.

... and that is the cycle. So I really need to remember, because if I can achieve a reasonable constant sleep cycle, and keep it constant, I would be overjoyed...

 ... and well rested to boot.

A daily life

Or a day in life, both are correct when you think about it.  So a number of things are already happening today, and other things being planned on getting done today. But for now, as far as things have happened already today: Tai Chi, calculated my bedroom to see if I could survive living in a Japanese sized apartment (Which I could), got excited about re-hydrating myself (constant state of dehydration, you're going down.) to the point where I've given myself a painful case of the hiccups, and looked at some old family photos.  As far as what else is planned for today: Painting, eating lunch, some school I guess if I can actually grasp any of it, and getting rid of these hiccups!!  So apparently the average size of a Japanese apartment is around 1,300 sq. ft. My bedroom is (rounded up) 259 sq. ft. Yes, I have a very large room, but to be fair I've got it essentially set up as an ultra mini apartment, and could probably very happily live in something just as big. Just...

Villains

What do you think makes a villain a villain? A question proposed by a friend over on NaNoWriMo, Leila offered a question that made me realize, that I might have a very complicated, yet possibly not all that hard to grasp, idea on what a villain actually is, and is not.  A villain needs to be lots of things all wrapped up into one, and often times not everything all at once. A villain is usually someone who has at least one keystone to their personality that either rivals, or is the protagonists fear and/or vice. For instance, two of my own characters from a novel I did in 2014.   V will be villain, P will be protagonist. V1: I am suave, I offer compliments and disguise my observations as questions to gain more information. As well as being versed in the language of the country I am in, my main goal is to operate in the shadows and go as unnoticed as possible, unless I see my spotlight waning. P1: I can do away with superfluous comments or manners, I will ask d...

By the grace of God

 It is only by the grace of God that I am still standing here on this earth. It is only by the grace of God that I draw breath, and am whole. Everything I am, is by the Grace of God.  Two years ago, a part of my life started that would not end for a long time, and is in some ways still ongoing.  Two years ago, in 2014, unknowingly began what I would now call the year of hell.  I was a bystander to verbal abuse and hate. I lived in close quarters with people that I became to be afraid of, and did not speak up. I hid, and I tried to hide in ways that never really worked, but have now become habits that are hard to break.  I kept silent during the calms, for fear that a wrong word would stir up a storm from a simple disagreement.  I often took to walking to a friends house just down the road, to see if they were outside and could hang out for a while. And to my knowledge they still don't know what transpired.  It is only by the grace of God that I ...
