Strangilation of the elipsis.

Tue Feb 17, 2009, 4:07 AM
It's 3:40 right now... the earliest I've gone to sleep in a few weeks was 2. I have insomnia now but it's not really a problem in my eyes... just more time. I fill the latest of the late night with tranquil melodies that see me off. My insomnia isn't a disorder. It's an addiction. I just don't want to sleep. I don't like knowing I have to stop living. That's what sleep is to me now. The last page... the ending credits... the final curtain... It's an end to my day that my greed simply can't allow. Most would argue if I said I don't like to sleep. I sleep in until my feeble state becomes stable. I'll wake up and fall out like a sparking match that just doesn't seem to light. The problem isn't that I can't sleep at night. I just won't. I'm an opportunist. Every moment is open to possibility. I could fly a kite or paint or sing at four AM. Why should I waste that time with sleep? Sleep is the passing of time. I don't want to waste a single second. Life is too beautiful to give up a single moment. I wish I lived in a big city, way up high, dangling my feet over the lights and silence that the night graces the air with... To listen to ambient sounds from my pocket. just watching night life grow, die, and start anew. I can feel it with my my eyes, taste it with my ears, see it through my skin, letting it absorb me into a world of contrast. The is no light without shadow and nothing is truly dark in this lifetime. That's what's beautiful. There is a delicate balance that's ever shifting. I've moved passed living now, I feel with my soul... This is nothing spiritual, I'm just experiencing inspiration in the purest form. It's lovely, the height. Is this why they call it... I sit above the city every night. Feeling what smokers do. That lingering peace that manifests the moment you step out the door. That's the only reason I want to smoke... to give me a reason to be outside when no one will join me. To stand atop the breath of thousands, watching life tick. It's art in motion. I travel to the same place every night to experience this and it's always new. It's the only place I can really be myself. I'm much to poor to live up to my potential as I am. But for now... this will do. Yeah... this will do.

  • Mood: Peaceful
  • Listening to: Four Tet
  • Watching: The droplets fall... it's raining again

As long as it's not hurting your body, not sleeping isnt a bad thing~
I know plenty of people who barely sleep.
Especially if you can dream so well while you're awake. ^^

Very inspiring... :heart: it's amazing how relatable your words can be, all of your different phrases and statements of feelings. I am a night person as well, everything I do and love happens at night. Day... it's just an unlikable necessity. I actually sketched a landscape of a boy, sitting on a rooftop of the city, leaning against a gargoyle, and listening to the soft tunes of his CD player. The city below knows nothing of him, and yet he's totally at peace. It's amazing that you would write something that describes the essence of my drawing. It's not here on deviantart, because it is much to large to fit into my scanner, :XD:, I just thought I'd let you know... that I know the feeling. :)

I dream of a world lit by LED's and seen through technology. Sleek, clean, beautiful... I'm not your everyday sci-fi fan but I really love technology. Also, I love to observe and influence... So watching a city pass to my rhythm is a bit of a fantasy of mine. As a kid I used to be inspired by images in my head of a studio at dusk on a high floor watching over a city. Seems sad now but it IS pretty

Your dreams are not sad at all, they're definitely inspiring... and they're what makes you, you. Technology is a passion of mine as well... everything about my life seems to fit the sleek, clean, yet simply beautiful look. I wish all of life could be like that. But alas, the world has complicated what once were simple beauties... at least with the advance of technologies, everything gets sleeker and more appealing. So while the world takes away from what we have, it does give a piece of it back.

I'm so glad you took it that way. I really love when people can understand the feelings I put in.

I am exactly the same way, I believe. I hate going to sleep. It's just...so many other things I'd like to do instead, you know? I'm really trying to get better at drawing, so these days I stay up sketching mostly, listening to music...just thinking when it gets really late, or early as the case may be. I am in the city, but living in my dad's apartment, and it'd be impossible to get out and then back in without him noticing. Oh well, come the fall I'll be in college and have more freedom to do so. Hope life's being good to you. ^-^

Life's been pretty great actually. Not amazing since a lot of bad things have been happening... But since I'm so happy I think things are going well. :3 I go to school kind of like collage.. Two hours a week, lots of homework. It's fun. ^^ I don't really draw much anymore... but I'll never stop being an artist. ^^

Wow, that sounds like a pretty cool school. I'm only just starting to try and draw anything, so I'm slowly teaching myself. x-X
