I'm far too tired to make the effort of thinking of some clever, witty way to start this post, so I'm afraid this will have to do. I feel good about life at the moment. I haven't slept in a while, and I can feel that it's going to happen tonight. Tonight, I am going to sleep like a corpse, and my brain is far too exhausted to bother me with all my usual trite bullshit. I am tired and numb, and I like it. I especially like the fact that I won't feel at all like this when I wake up.
Jhonen Vasquez said that sleep is the enemy. Even though I have nothing but admiration and awe for the man's work, I must respectfully disagree. He looks upon it as wasted time, but I think that's a slightly morbid outlook. I love my sleep. The entire process is just so appealing. I love selecting the music I'm going to fall asleep to (Eels, tonight), I love reading (Hannibal by Thomas Harris – my third reading) until my eyes go on strike and make everything fuzzy, but most of all, I love switching off the light and sinking, sinking, drowning in myself. And the best of it all is that when you wake up, you might just as well be someone else.
But now, after saying absolutely nothing, I will leave you. The goddess is calling. To you, my audience of none, I bid farewell. I shall return to continue my melodrama in this empty theatre. The ending is going to be spectacular.
I noticed your name and instantly realized you were a fellow fan Jhonen's work,I must say it's rare that I run across someone who is a fan of his work past Invader Zim, but you obviously are, which is good, because JtHM and SQUEE! are far superior works in my opinion. I also thoroughly disagree with Mr. Vasquez's views on sleep.~ Napolean Smith
ReplyDeleteThank you, Napoleon. I definitely agree with you on JtHM's superiority over Zim, although I still can't believe they showed that stuff to kids. I must confess, also, that I know nothing of Squee! But that's what Google is there for. So I should thank you, once more, for showing me an extra avenue in which I can lose myself.
ReplyDeleteHave you read I Feel Sick? It's a graphic novel that focuses on Devi after the plot of JtHM, and it's colored by Rikki Simons, the voice actor of Gir.
