My First Website

Ok so it's not a website yet, but it's getting there.

This semester I am taking an HTML class and I have started creating my own website.  Right now it's just a local site on my computer but someday, it will be up and running on the world wide web.  Most likely someday a long time from now, around May.

HTML is actually pretty fun so if you're interested, the book "Sams Teach Yourself HTML and CSS in 24 Hours" would be a good place to start.  Now that I say it like that it doesn't sound like much of a class at all, but it's more of independent learning anyway.  Which doesn't make sense, since I have to pay for the class.

Anyway, that's not important.

The site is a long way from completion but I will eventually have to come up with a domain name.  That's the tricky part.  I have no idea what to call my site.  I need something catchy and something that will be found if you use google to search other things. Any comments on ideas would be appreciated, just don't sue me if I decide to use the name.

When the site is up and running, I'll make sure to link it in a post so everyone can see the finished product.

As for now, I've been working on the site for the past 3 hours before this post and is now 4 am.  So I should probably hit the hay.  Until another day, goodnight ya'll.

Long Time No See

So...It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but imagine what brings me back here on this fateful night?

Anyone?  Bueller?

Insomnia, that's what.  Not just for the lack of wanting to sleep this time though.  This time is a different story of I literally can't sleep, for fear of the person next to me in this bed will stop breathing at any given moment.

Let's go back a bit shall we?

Well, late last year I broke up with my girlfriend that I had been dating for 3 years.  Sometime after that I started hanging out progressively more with one of my other female friends.  We're not dating, but we're really good friends now what the future holds I'm not really sure.  We'll probably come back to that later.  Well it was this female's birthday today and what better way to celebrate than to get belligerently drunk right?  Well, I wasn't feel all that well and decided I didn't want to drink tonight so I showed up some time later after her and her friends had been drinking for awhile.  Well, I get here and everyone decides it is time to go home and leaves me with the highly intoxicated birthday girl.  No big deal right?  Right again Bob, except for at this point she can barely speak, let alone walk by herself.  Being the guy that I am though I was trying to help her sober up and get her in bed etc.  However, she wants none of this.  She is responding to my help like a 2 year old who wants a new damn toy and you tell them they can't have it.  After much time arguing and fighting her to at least sit down, I finally get her to drink some water and go to bed.

And here we are...sitting here blogging and trying to occupy my time until I can safely say I can sleep.  I don't know if you could really call this insomnia since I am kind of choosing to stay awake this time, but I doubt I would be sleeping anyways so we'll just stick with the insomnia.

Insomnia...strikes again.

Ever since I was very young, I have always been a night owl.  Staying up at late as I want, sleeping in until the last possible second in the morning.  When I was young, I would stick my head outside the door to my room and watch whatever my older brother, Jason, was watching through a gap between the wall and our lazy-boy recliner.  Sooner or later, my mom would look downstairs and yell at me to go to bed until I would actually go to bed an hour later or so.

Fast forward to today...It's 3:52 am, I'm watching Breaking Bad on Netflix, and not a sign of sleep coming anytime soon.  After a certain age, about the time I started college, being a night owl takes on a whole new meaning.  Insomnia.  When I was younger staying up until 10 or 11 pm wasn't that big of a deal, but now, It's 5 or 6 am in the morning.  When I was a freshman in college, my roommate and I would stay up until 6 am every morning, go to class, maybe take a couple hour nap, and do it all over again.  I don't know how we ever survived, but we did.

As I near the age of 23 this summer, I'm starting to wonder how much longer my body can take this.  I mean, I can already tell I'm not as young as I used to be judging by the aching of every joint in my body from playing basketball this weekend.  However, I don't see my ways of an insomniatic slumber changing anytime soon.  I'll sleep in one day, go to bed early the next, but sooner or later I always end up right where I am now, wide awake at what is now 4:00 am.

I suppose sooner or later I will have to accept the fact it is time to grow up and get a grown up job that requires me to work 9-5 five days a week and will become one of those people that is in bed by 10 at night and awake by 7 in the morning.  Until then though, I'll keep living the college life.
