Lately I've been feeling frustrated about how boring my life is. I wake up, go to work, come home, work out, eat dinner, clean up a little, do something (this is the part I really can't figure out) then go to bed and it starts all over again.
The strangest part is I feel like I have tons of really cool projects I want to work on but NEVER get around to. I have half finished paintings everywhere. I really want the painting to be my priority but I don't know what to cut out. Eating, working out, sleeping?
Last night, by accident I tried not sleeping. I got home, cleaned up, made dinner and promptly fell asleep on the couch after eight. I woke wide awake around midnight and spent the next couple hours doing whatever I wanted. I drew a little, painted a little, listened to about two hundred pages of a really great book (The Free Life) and felt like I got to enjoy some real "creative" time. I almost felt like I was back at college. It was wonderful, really wonderful...until the alarm went off at 6:30AM and I had to get ready for work.

Hey that sounds like my life at this very moment! Wide awake all night long. Fun stuff!
definitely cut out the work. It's way overrated. money shmoney
I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go (sung to the tune that the 7 Dwarfs whistle)
I run into that dilemma all the time. Like right now, when it's 2 am and I'm still up. The adult world is just not designed for night people!
