Creating A Monster

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.

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!
