Mission Objective: Breakfast?

Morning World.

Woke up twenty minutes ago. Tossed and turned in my sheets for five minutes, then realized that sleep was no longer an option. Now I'm sitting here at the computer in my den, listening to the Dusker album by Kiln and sipping some morning coffee. The wind's howling against the building, throwing itself against the windows so that glass rattles in the panes, giving the room sensation of being shaken, like a piggy bank by a greedy kid now regretting his decision to invest that penny

It's a nice ambiance. Peaceful morning with apocalyptic undertones.

One of my friends in high school had a theory that wind is a result of a crack in the layering of time. According to the theory, if the crack opens to a particularly tumultuous period in human affairs, then what we feel as wind is really the termagant activity of human spirits (their immortal and agitated souls) rushing around us, highly involved in their dramatic event. Or that's the gist of it anyway, I'm not sure if I'm remembering it right. It was a crackpot theory to begin with (that is, it is assuming time's a pot).

The forecast calls for some heavy thunder storms later, which is kind of a bummer because the high is 56, which is a brilliant temperature for January. Still, serves as motivation to sit down and get through some of the work I put off over the last couple days.

Pretty good weekend, all things considered (this is Michele Norris). Met up yesterday with Jasmine for a movie . . . which means I finally saw Avatar, which was SICK!

Umm, what else . . .

Man, this wind is really distracting. It just won't give up (I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your . . .) . . . I'm guessing the time fabric cracked open to September, 1776 when the British were sacking the city, pushing Mr. Washington back, and back, and back . . .

Alright, my head isn't fully operational yet, still feels a bit crowded - . . - clouded -

Might wake myself up with a shocking dose of world news from the BBC website. Just wanted to share this early morning moment with y'all.


Peace.
