I am not in bed. Perhaps a random picture of a duck dressed as a pig will help. <\/p>\n<p>No. That didn&#8217;t fix anything. It&#8217;s still 1:30. It&#8217;s even later really, and I&#8217;m still not in bed. This is a stupid thing to admit. I feel like time is slipping away from me. I don&#8217;t know what happened to it all. Suddenly it was later and I can&#8217;t really account for what I did during any of it. I wasn&#8217;t asleep. I wasn&#8217;t checking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloglines.com\/\">bloglines<\/a>. I wasn&#8217;t even buying and selling on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogshares.com\">blogshares<\/a>. (We won&#8217;t talk about this afternoon when I acquired some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/\">blogger<\/a> and bought up more of the <a href=\"http:\/\/johnwalter.blogspot.com\/\">Notes from the Walter J. Ong Archives<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>I guess that it doesn&#8217;t help that I was working on my technology review lesson plan till 7 and didn&#8217;t get home till after 8. That would chew up a good portion of the evening. Maybe I have been numbly lost in thought and confusion. It&#8217;s a good story anyway. <\/p>\n<p>I tried to go shopping, but nothing I tried on looked good. I felt like the circus fat lady in everything. I want to believe that it was the lighting in the store, but I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s just wishful thinking. So when I finally did get home, I guess I just sat around and did nothing. There&#8217;s something to be proud of.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I feel like I don&#8217;t even know myself anymore, let alone know the people I care about. I seem to make all the wrong decisions these days, and I forget to do the things that matter. Like going to bed&#8230; why aren&#8217;t I going to bed? Everything feels like it&#8217;s spinning and chaotic and beyond my control right now. :(<br \/>\nWriting about it isn&#8217;t helping though, so I guess I shall try to sleep.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tag\"><br \/>\nTags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/duck\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">duck<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Duck+for+President\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">Duck for President<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/rambling\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">rambling<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 1:30 AM.
