Insomnia - March 30, 2012

4:50

Just so you guys know, Ronnie Milsap is still alive. There's no reason YOU should have to wonder about that at 4:37 in the morning. I've handled it.


4:57

Which is greater: the blessing of having the world at your fingertips, or the burden of have the world on your nightstand and a stupid dog who licks your face at 3:30?


5:02

I've never owned a Ronnie Milsap record, but now I know that he was abandoned by his parents and had his eyes removed as a child. So I guess I'll just drift back off to sleep.


5:05

What happened to all the blind people in pop music? That used to be such a thing.


5:09

And really, never a one-legged guy. I feel like you could really market a tough, one-legged dude on a country label.


5:11

Hip Hop! You guys would have screamed "Hip Hop" at me in the comment section. Aaaah, you're the best.

And you're all sleeping.  Jerks...


5:17

Ronnie Milsap is probably asleep. He probably sleeps like a 69-year-old sightless log.


And I bet his dog leaves him alone at night.


Might be a service animal. It might have brought Ronnie Milsap a Tylenol PM and a glass of water at bed time.


5:33

I've never met anyone who's named his dog Glenn. Sooooo many names for dogs have two syllables and a 'sh' sound in the middle. Tasha, Sasha...

You know, those are the only two I can think of. And they're essentially the same name. I could have sworn there were more. I bet there are. I'm distracted by having Smokey Mountain Rain in my head.


6:17

I've had a quiet bath and I'm awake for the day. I feel badly about typing 'sightless log'. It's not his fault that Ronnie Milsap popped into my head uninvited after 30 years. It's the nature of sleeplessness.

"There ain't no gettin' over me."
