Jonny the Recovering Technophiliac

Sunday morning @ Jamaica…no, not the country, the station.

The idea for this post game from reading a New York Times column with the same title. So I figured I would put my own personal spin on my routine on a typical Sunday. I must warn you in advance, if you’re looking for fireworks, skydiving, or hangouts at the crowded Studio Square…then you’re out of luck.  I do a lot of work and play for the rest of the six days per week.  My Sundays are always my time off from just about everything, my day to re-coup, unwind, and re-charge.  The only time I really go out on a Sunday is when I really need to. Otherwise, I keep it local. Continue reading →

for those who know me, i like to take naps wherever and whenever possible.  back in my undergraduate days i’d nap on the couches at the student union or at the best place to doze off…at a big lecture hall during a boring class.  I remember when i had one class on a friday at 7am, a physics lecture and lab…about 4 hours of potential sleep.  During the lecture if i was tired beyond coherence AND had a recorder with me, i’d record the lecture and doze off for the majority of the lecture.  The lab was usually one person actually doing the lab while the rest of the class pretended to do the same whilst copying off the figures and modifying them by tenths of a point to make their figures “unique”.  And usually the lab professor was so tired himself even he didnt care, lol.  So what’s the moral of the story? power-naps are good for you and good for the soul as well.

so its been 24hours since i returned from colombia, and although my body is in my own bed with my laptop listening to jazz, my mind still thinks im in my bed in bogota watching RCN Noticias while my ipod charges behind me. i think after such time in bogota, my body has adjusted to life in colombia to a point where upon returning to NYC, ive gone through a mini culture shock…yes, its actually possible to be shocked back into your own world. Now with so much to prepare for (school), i feel bored and unresponsive…not because i lost the will to study, but because i lost the physical will to do anything…aka “jetlag”. after 2 days i’ll be good as new, but until then im just too tired to lenghthen this blog even more. so good night everypeople.

….it’s 137am and i cant sleep. You’d think your body has re-adjusted to normal sleeping patterns after a big shake-up, but for some reason it hasn’t quite applied to me yet. Is it because the ginseng’s keeping me awake? Or is it still the nightmares associated with the post-trauma of a death of a loved one? (in this case, my dad’s passing one month ago).

meh…regardless of cause, i’d like to get some normal sleep w/out my mind overtasking itself…then again, all this overtasking does use enough energy to make me tired enough to sleep a little

…either that or i should start taking shots of Hennigans for that “quick fix”. Ah Hennigans, that no-smell, no-tell scotch!
