let's face it, i'm getting too old to pull all nighters.
no, not the dirty kind, you perv... the kind where you're racing against the clock to get things done, you've got half an hour before you're supposed to be "waking up", and taking that power nap is far too dangerous, as you could perhaps be known for pressing snooze repeatedly.
this was my situation last night...er...this morning. when work requires one to be ready and rarin' to go, promptly at 815am, there isn't much room for error. therefore, i armed myself with a venti red-eye, hopped in a cab, and was feeling surprisingly awake. so, in case you are unaware, i have this gig, you see... in a church. yes, that's right, i get paid the big bucks to sing for Jesus. he pays well... and that's all that concerns me. if you were to attend the second service of the morning, you would probably see me sleeping during the sermon. don't worry, i'm a master of disguising these religious rests.
much to my surprise, i was the most awake i have been during the aforementioned time in the last four and a half years. i thought perhaps i had found the key to an alert sunday. rehearsal even went quite smoothly. then about 4 o'clock rolled around, and my brain followed suit. at first i thought i could push through, defeating my deflating energy and sticking to the plan. i would charge ahead, marching forth toward my weekly dinner plans.
well, its about 6 o'clock now. i'm sitting on my couch, and i don't think i will ever move again. i have so much i should be doing, but something tells me the work i would produce at this point would be less than satisfactory. so, dinner plans have been bailed upon, timelines of morning productivity made, and alarms have been set.
here's to (hopefully) fixing my sleep schedule and being insanely productive tomorrow.
cheers.
ps- if you're in the nyc area on march 7th and aren't incredibly offended by the Episcopal church, Desmond Tutu will be speaking during our service at St James. whether you are religious or not, that's pretty rad. let me know if you're interested...
