What am I doing up at 2am anyway?

Current mood: tired

One of the biggest problems I have with writing blog entries is that I never feel like I am writing anything earth-shattering. And yet, I’ll go through a day and think “hey, I should write about that” at least 2 times. And then, when it comes time to sit down and write, I got nothing. I guess I need to take better notes.

A few things to report. First, I have developed a serious problem of going to bed far too late for my own good. This past week, it’s been around 2am. And when you’re getting up at 6:30, that’s not good. I have no good reason for doing it. In fact, when I look at the clock in the upper-right-hand corner of my screen, all I can think of is “hey dumbass, what are you still doing awake?” And the sad part is I have no answer.

I have always been a night person, so it’s easy for me to stay awake, but when you start burning the candle at all ends, it’s just not good. A few people at work have made mention that I looked tired (which is another, nicer way of saying “hey Rob, you look like shit”), so I really need to get back into the habit of going to bed earlier. And the strange thing? I freakin’ love sleeping. So, what the hell am I doing?

One other item of note. I am not big on New Year’s resolutions or resolutions of any kind for that matter. My wife keeps a “bucket list,” but I have always looked at those as a way of measuring failure (i.e. what you haven’t done, rather than what you have). However, I am making one resolution for 2009. I want to solve a Rubik’s Cube. Yes, I am a retard. But I want to do it. And I want to do it fast. And then I want to figure out the Rubik’s Revenge (the 4x4x4) and then the Rubik’s Professor Cube (the 5x5x5 monstrosity). I have had one of these since I was 9 years old and I’ve never solved one. I’ve gotten close a million times. I’ve read the books. And for some reason, it just hasn’t sunk in. So, I’m going to make it happen this year. Mark my words.

Rob FU, out.
