Insomnia Strikes

So it's currently 5:00pm where I live and I've been up for a total of 56 hours or so now, with only about 3 hours total nap time in that window. It's ridiculous. Never before has such an insanely long bout of sleeplessness plagued me, and here for no reason whatsoever it decides to harass me. There was no logical reason as to why I should not be able to go to sleep right now. My work is finished, there is no immediate chore or job for me to accomplish, and for the love of all that is holy, I'm listening to Coldplay for crying out loud. Coldplay is supposed to calm you down and put you to sleep, not get you excited for the next 48 hours of open-eye entertainment.

Of course, the best part of this was I got to see the new Weezer music video of their latest single "Pork and Beans" from the Red Album which is just fucking fantastic, I'll be honest with you. I only listened to a select few Weezer songs up until this point, but this on particular gem is wonderful in its own right, and the music video just takes it all to a completely new level. You guys should definitely check it out on YouTube.com or something, because it's priceless. And of course, the more familiar you are with the YouTube community as a whole and what is popular, the more entertaining you'll find the video.

Beyond that, I've started a savings plan with regards to The Pilgrimage that ought to set some realistic goals on the amount of cash money I'll need to have in two years' time in order to successfully make the trip from the East side of the USA to the prestigious Los Angeles community. I'm a little concerned about my skill level as a writer, and I'm hoping to improve upon that in the two years prior to the move, so I'm going to set out a series of exercises and workshops for myself in order to achieve my goals of being a screenwriter. I'm posting a lot of my works on my Deviant Art page, so you can go there: http://foxtrotwarfare.deviantart.com/ to check it out. Some of the stuff (most namely screenplays and the like) won't appear there for obvious reasons. I need to register those with the WGAw before I can start to show them off. That and I'm still editing and tinkering with them.

So for the time being I have my work cut out for me, and hopefully I can get some freakin' sleep soon because my eyes are getting a little heavy.
