30 Days of Hypnosis

Okay so about 45 minutes after last night’s entry I went down like the white guy in a boxing match. Seriously, it was as if someone shot me in the neck with a blow gun. I was out. When I woke up NINE hours later I was filled with shame. That feeling gave way to a sense that I felt pretty good and that, in this case, being weaksauce worked out pretty well.

Even with how tired I was, I ran through the sleep process anyway because often times being tired and sleepy has very little to do with whether or not I can go to sleep. I was out before I got to 95. In this case, I stayed out too.

The dreams were pretty crazy though. Something about having to save four of my friends from indoctrination into a cult which was in turn trying to mess up my life only to have them remove the transmission from my car while I wasn’t looking. It was weird.  I don’t know if I blame the self-hypnosis though because I DID watch the True Blood season finale right before bed and the leader of the cult was Steve Newlin, leader of the Fellowship of the Sun. So I think that was it more than anything else.

I spent today with my friend from out of town and my girlfriend. We went to El Charro for a late lunch where in a creepy waiter took it upon himself to flirt mercilessly with my girlfriend. I am not sure in what universe asking if someone is going to share their order with you is a viable option to coax digits but it was not appreciated. Of course, I am not the sort of dude to make some kind of scene about this sort of thing. I have an attractive girlfriend. It happens. I am not going to pound my chest like a gorilla and do some kind of preening behavior on her to shower ‘ownership.’ I am insecure but not THAT insecure.

After that we went to Yikes toy store where I purchased a bath tub stopper with a floating newspaper boat attached. After that we had a second round of frozen yogurt from By the Ounce as my friend was quite taken with it and then made our way to the mall for the sorts of nick knacks you are supposed to bring people back from vacations.

After all that, I am sitting at work staring at my computer screen listening to music channels on Pandora and hoping that I can make it through my shift. Thankfully it is short since I have to take my friend to the airport at 6:30 but it is going to be a struggle. My failure last night is coming to collect on its bill and I am not very happy about it. Oh well, it could be worse and my job could be difficult and tiring.
