This is my blog. It is not flashy or pretentious (well, it tries not to be) but it is there for me. You see, I suffer from something called “Really Annoying Selective Insomnia” or RASI.
RASI basically works like this:
When you really really really really need to be awake all night, you sleep and when you really really really really want to be asleep, you can’t.
Now, I’ve tried everything – reading, writing, warm milk, counting sheep, etc., but it does nothing to affect my sleep pattern. I can lie in my bed, snuggled up tight, but my eyes are wide open.
It’s not that I’m not tired. I’m exhausted. I need the sleep. It’s just that my body won’t let me have it.
At the same time, I’ve been planning on starting a blog. As you may know, it’s hard to make it in the cut-throat world of the blogosphere. Very few blogs are deemed worth reading and the ones that are all have a spin. Perez Hilton gossips, Allie Brosh tells amazingly funny stories with the epicest (I am inventing that word) drawings in the entire world.
So I needed a gimmick. Something that would make the world stop and stare. And then it came to me, as I lay there, counting my ceiling tiles. Write whatever you want. Seriously, write whatever you want, as long as it comes from a place of sleeplessness.
And that is the idea driving this blog. If I can’t sleep, I write a blog post. I know I posted earlier this morning, but I felt that I should perhaps, explain the concept behind my randomimity (another word that I am coining). I am currently typing on almost a day without sleep. Pretty messed up.
Anyway, now you understand that I am not just jumping on the bandwagon and that I actually have a very important reason for having one of these things.
Peace, love and sausage
