Screw The Fall Back Clock Change!

The hour of daylight lost since last weekends daylight savings clock change has completely screwed up my sleep pattern. It was already kind of screwed up before because of my work schedule being 5:30 am to 2:00 pm.

It used to not get dark until 7 or 8 pm but now it gets dark at like 5:00 pm. So like an hour after it's been dark outside my eyes start getting heavy and my balls nestle up into my body. I'm beginning to get tired at 7 or 8 pm nowadays. I'm going sleepy heads @ 8:00 pm. I totally live the life of a 65 year old man.

I wake up super early at 4:30 am on the weekdays and 5:30 am on weekends. I almost always go to bed by 8 or 9 pm. My entertainment is going to Target to browse the merchandise and dream about what sweet tooth decaying goodies I could be nursing on. It's a stressful life I lead!

I wish they'd really stop pushing the clocks back one hour in the Fall/Winter months. I mean is it really necessary to do this? If they kept the clocks in the correct position all year round my internal clock would be so much better in tune. Oh and don't get me started on my bed too. My bed is very uncomfortable. I toss and turn all freaking night lately. I think it's almost time to order one of those soft yet firm beds off of HSN.com and do the easy pay plan! I need to keep my 26 year old chubby pale face looking in tip top shape.

Sleep has been my biggest enemy in the last month and I will conquer and defeat it before it gets the better of me. Maybe it's all that Flax Seed Oil I'm taking?!?!?!

That's the best line of the whole entry... I laughed out loud. It must be funny if I laughed out loud.

I was rebelling against the whole changing of clocks thing...because time is not the boss of me...I lasted 3 days then I unplugged all the clocks so now I have no time at all, I’m free!!!

erica: that's so "indie" of you to laugh at only one line in the whole post!

punky: i wish i could be as free as you. if i unplugged all my clocks i'd have to use the sun as a clock and there's no wya i could do that b/c i'm only a little bit indian :(

I also shed a tear for one of those lines too. I'm so emo and indie - I need some tattoos.

my favorite is the part about how "Daylight Saving Time prevents crime"
