Pete's Log: insomnia leads to...
Entry #656, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
So let's see. Less than 3.5 hours of sleep last night. I've been awake since 8:15 am. So that makes 18 hours of being awake. Now somehow it would seem that falling asleep would be easy. But that seems to rarely be the case for me. So what do you do when it's 2 am, and there's nothing on tv?
The answer should be obvious: you punk out. So I put on some MxPx, painted my nails, and destroyed a pair of pants. I had this pair of black jeans in my closet that I've not worn in forever. Mainly because they had this hole caused by contact with the ground. Not the kind of hole that you put into jeans because you think it'll look cool (but definitely better than the type of hole you get when you jump over a fence when drunk). So I cut off the legs below the level of the hole and now have a pair of shants. So we'll see where all this leads. Perhaps I'll wake up tomorrow and feel inspired to show up on campus in punk mode. But that always requires effort, and one of the more interesting points of SLC Punk was about how putting effort into looking punk is kind of self-defeating. But it's still fun. I was put onto this earth to amuse others. And the easiest way to do so is to look silly.
