Shouldn't I be in bed? - The answer is yes. But for some unknown reason to me I'm sitting at the computer avoiding bed and checking on the new commenting engine I installed here today.
It's quiet here except for the steady rain falling outside the open window and the sound of vehicles speeding down the wet street. I love that sound, it conjures up a host of images for my writer's brain. It also stirs up some emotions. For some reason I wish I was somewhere else tonight. In fact the urge to drive or play a video game is very strong right now.
Odd comboniation you're probably thinking.
But it isn't really. The result is pretty much the same. Escape.
Driving nowhere in particular but just driving to drive is escape for me. As would playing a video game be.
Though today a video game would probably be cheaper.
I'm not sure what the source of this feeling is. Perhaps unrest. More likely just a desire to relax and like I wrote above, "Escape."
But now escape for good, mind you. Just escape from things on my mind, things pulling at my time, and well, things. Maybe it's just that time of the year.
If you're expecting some great insight from the post right now, I'm afraid I haven't any.
Although there is this: If you're sleepy, go to bed.
