Tonight, I slept 2 hours. Yeah. Sleep schedule's bad, I think we've established that. But much of that, I spent randomly clicking around, facebook/blogger/twitter/tumblr (oops secret project)/byteresawu.
What was that last bit? I found this blog of one of the co-founders of MyMomIsAFob.Com one of the funniest sites I've found in a while. And a lot of her stuff is interesting to me, for reasons that can be explained through my disclaimer. (it's on the side there.)
And as I was going through this web storm, I've been thinking about certain things. Like Twitter. I read their whole spiel, and what they are, and what I keep forgetting about websites are that, they're a business. (most of them at least.) And in this web 2.0 age, (I still don't know what that means. What was 1.0?) the old stereotypical office cubicle farms of the 90s are being replaced by new, "cooler", dare I say "hip" offices like this,
Yeah. Ignore the wrestling, check out the office. Those are the offices of CollegeHumor.
Yeah, the same CollegeHumor that makes those shorts you watch instead of studying for the midterms you have in the morning.
Yeah. they're a business. And 20-somethings make their LIVING working for that.
That sounds so cool.
I used to be terrified at the thought that I would be forced into a 9 to 5 job sitting in an office, but now, it doesn't sound so bad if these are the offices of tomorrow.
The other thing I worry about is what I'm doing.
I've always wanted to utilize my creative side in my job.
But I still have no idea what that job will be.
I should study for the chinese test I have on monday. crap.
About Me

- To borrow a few words for a crappy introduction,
Let's assume you all know me, and I know all of you (all eight of you reading this, that is), and move forward with the this and thats. What follows can serve as a blurry haze of itinerary-style diary entries, random rants, unasked-for-opinions, and the like, which hopefully can serve as confessions of how underwhelmingly human I really am.
Most of my thoughts come to me at odd hours of the night when all of you are tucked into your beds.
“It's at night, when perhaps we should be dreaming, that the mind is most clear, that we are most able to hold all our life in the palm of our skull. I don't know if anyone has ever pointed out that great attraction of insomnia before..."

Disclaimer: I find the most interesting blogs to read are the ones that the blogger writes to him or herself. It feels like I'm peeking a little bit into their mindset and their paradigm of the world. And so, I'm not writing for anyone, but myself. Chances are, it'll be boring, lame, and/or occasionally reflective and maybe even insightful? Nah.
