Piso Mojado me: hey brain, it would be great if you could stop thinking for a few hours and let me go to bed. i have work in the morning, and i would really appreciate it. brain: no. fuck you. this is what happens when you push me into the background so often. now it's my time (maniacal laugh) me: but, it's 2;45 am. and i haven't pulled an allnighter since last year at school when i was really depressed. i dont know if i can do it now- brain: and don't you think that should tell you something? can't you even pick up the basic patterns of your mental health? these things come and go sarah! it's come back again. crept up on you so softly? bull shit-don't tell me you haven't seen it coming. me: i guess it never left. it's easy to hide self/life hatred behind activities, pot, people. but, even if i am depressed/heading for disaster, i still need to get off the computer and go to bed, so that i can be a responsible person at work tomorrow. brain: fine. but don't think this is over. we've got some long nights ahead of us. 040217 ... Piso Mojado it starts again. 040219 ... smurfus rex don't know if it would work for anyone else, but when I'm having trouble settling down to sleep, I close my eyelids, look up toward my eyebrows, and think of a white stucco wall. If Brain tries to put pictures on the wall, I take them away. Only the wall. I don't know how long it takes, but it almost always works for me. I rarely toss and turn anymore since I started doing this. 040219 ... love & hate Sleep? I dont know the meaning of the word. Two things are always on my mind. My dearest Katie, and death. Both entwine frighteningly when i go to "sleep". I want her, am i willing to live this life in hope of having her back? Or will i committ the sinful act to stop this wishful thinking? I can never sleep for when i wake up, it continues again. My dreams are so real, i dont know when i'm awake or sleeping anymore. Without my precious angel, i can't sleep. 040418 ... Nicki and its all because of my feet. They ache. They cause me to toss and turn, and twist and bend. It's their revenge for me standing on the for 10 hrs today, walking non-stop, apart from the 10 minute break i got. Evil things. I should cut them off. 040418 ... grendel because if i sleep, i will dream and the transition from that world back to this one is a giant fuckin drag 040419 ...

Piso Mojado 4:23 051120 ... dairpo we pulled the sheets tight, curled up in small, separate balls of warmth huddled against our own fears. she lay gently asleep, my eyes stayed open, shivering, looking for the stars through the ceiling. open to delusions in that wakefulness between sleep my mind raced worrisomely towards certain depression. when all is well, that which sits on the rocks looks like the pit of hell, churning magma reaching up to disintegrate the stability of physical bonds. "i can't sleep" i whispered softly, tossing on my half of the bed, refusing to turn in fear that i may have woken her from her gentle rest. slowly sitting i filled my lungs and gently made my departure known to whoever was awake, hoping it was just myself. slipping, then, softly from beneath the covers, holding my breath, and passing through the door. finding solace across the hall, sitting on the toilet seat, head in hands, letting my labourous breathing take its course. handfuls of water cooled my nerves, woke my heart to remind my head that the thoughts from the bed were the hallucinations of a mind needing rest, a body unused to so much space with such medium proximity to that source of radiating calm and happiness. no resolution, that would come later, but acceptance and tolerance within those long bright walls. sleep came quickly after that, still huddled on my side, she barely stirred when i re-entered the bed. waking softly to my name whispered i found our arms entwined, faces pressed close, in the familiarity of an unconsiousness movement during sleep. gentle smiles and renewed slumber welcomed the early morning sun, reflected so perfectly off the snow gently falling in the world beyond our lives. 051120 ... emmi i can't these days. i've been in bed for 2 and a half hours. i just gave up. 051120 ... z beds on fire 051121 ... delial i spend my evenings with tv land or nick at night, depending on which room i'm in[cable box or not], and i watch it until 7 or 8 am, when my eyes finally close and i can fall asleep. too much on my mind again. 051121 ... nom i can't sleep i can't type 061212 what's it to you? who go blather from
