Insomnia



As usual the night continues to seduce me with it's fragmented activities, half thoughts, dreamy inspiration, and alcoholic indulgence. I cling to my insomnia, as I cling to my keyboard, hoping to make great discoveries, achieve something fantastic, or research into the wonders of the universe. So far tonight, in my online adventures I have learnt all about the mating habits of common snapping turtles, and found out that DEET (the active ingredient in bug repellant sprays) can have a detrimental effect on neurological systems. I have also smiled at a picture of a monkey smoking a pipe.



All of this has a purpose, I assure you.

I am moving to Thailand soon, and need to fully equip myself for all eventualities, animal or otherwise. So far I have learnt that you should not wave your feet in a Buddhist person's direction, interrupt procreating turtles, or bathe in 100% DEET... and you should never, ever, give tobacco to a monkey.
