I can't sleep! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

K-Wise · 02-20-2005, 09:02 PM

Okay wow...so I decided to write well not really a poem but something about this. I'm sure some of you can relate to this. You know how when you go to bed and you close your eyes and you wanna go to sleep but your damn mind won't shut up and keeps going off and thinking about the stupidest things? Well this is an example of that..All the stuff below is stuff that has actually gone through my mind while I'm trying to sleep with references to different things. Sometimes songs will come into my head...original songs..usually just chorus's but I can hear everything..also lyrics come... Other VERY stupid stuff also goes through my mind. Don't expect any of this to make sense at all just read it and take it for what it is.

Forewarning it is VERY LONG as this sort of stuff goes through my mind over a period of MANY hours of desperately trying to fall asleep..which is why sleeping pills are the best invention of all time

<center>I can't sleep!</center>

All right goin to sleep...(sigh) yeah...
Little cold better wrap the blankets up real good
Fold the pillow there we go thats better yeah now sleep
(Thinking)
Hmm alright boy I don’t really feel tired..I mean I know my body feels tired..
But I don’t really...I dunno forget about it just close your eyes and go to sleep
Thats it...sleep..sleep is good. I don’t get enough sleep really...
I wish I could do that time out thing like Zach on saved by the bell....
Then if I wake up in the morning and I didn’t get enough sleep I could just go..
TIME OUT! Then fall back asleep and wake up when I’m refreshed.
Yeah that would be cool. Jesse was hot...I mean I know she did the whole showgirl thing..
But she’s hot.....I wonder whats gonna be for dinner tommorow...
I hope it’s pizza..or home-made fried chicken with mashed potatoes mmm
Quit thinking about food dammit yer supposed to be going to sleep!
They said we’re going to visit (sisters name) tommorow..wonder if it’ll be cold out?
If it’s cold out I should wear the brown jacket..it’s the warmest..plus it’s a nice jacket
\\Glide to the right...glide in a circle, spin around, stop, pose, war-step, groundwork start off with a 6-step into tornado’s go into windmills straight into head-swipes then finish it with headspin and a bitchin pose// Yeah if I still breakdanced that would be a good combo
I haven’t breakdanced in years...Eh I wasn’t really all that good at it though
I wouldn’t mind taking it up again though..hmm I’m a little too out of shape for it.
Thats what I need to do get into shape..yeah I should do that some day
Then I can breakdance again..Hmm will breakdancing still be cool?
Well I hope it is.
Shit...ah man now I have to pee..I don’t wanna get up. They should have toilets..
Right next to the bed. That would be cool. Then ya wouldn’t have to walk all the way
To the bathroom to take a piss..Shit I’d better get up it’s gonna be harder to sleep
(Gets up to pee..hops back into bed, pulls up the covers and closes his eyes)
Dammit walking over to the bathroom really woke me up now. And my eyes still hurt
Dammit...I wanna fall asleep...I wish I had taken sleeping pills..God I love sleeping pills
(Original song comes into mind)
<i>And know that I love yoooooo ooou wooo!(Violens)
And know that I love you woo woo oo!(Violens again)
(bridge)
And I’ve always loved you babe!(tempo picks up full orchestra, pounding on piano)
Ah dammit I love you babe! (music everywhere)
Just know that I love you love oh oh oh baby I love you ooh ooh!
Oh baby I love you yeah eah! (break on the vocals)
(music, Music, MUSIC)
Oooooooooh!!!! (MORE MUSIC then BAM!)
(guitar solo plays in my mind all the way through in it’s entirety)</i>
(hmm that parts not quite right *rewind* yeah that sounds really good)
Some day I shall write that song for my love
Hmm man I don’t even know how to play guitar or piano..before I die I need to learn
GUITAR and PIANO..I always liked the Harmonica too...That too..
Hmm I don’t even have a girlfriend..I’m 20 years old and I’m still a virgin (sigh)
I’ve only had one girlfriend my whole life! It’s cause I can’t drive..I need a car
Then I can ask girls out...learn how to drive, get a car, ask a girl on a date!
I’ll learn how to drive this summer when I go stay with (sisters name)..I like staying with her
It’s fun...(my neice) is so cute..I always have a good time when they come over..
(Reminisce)
Me: Hey (bro n law) you want one?
B.I.L: Huh? Dude what is that a grape soda? No haha
Me: What the hell is wrong with grape soda?
Me: So what now you’re prejudice against grape people?!
B.I.L: What?
*we all laugh*
Haha that was funny...ahh good times. Man how long has it been?
(looks at clock)
Ah God it’s been 2 and a half hours! Dammit! Fall asleep please!
Don’t think anymore stop thinking!....................there we go...thats it stop..dammit me talking in my head is still fucking thinking shit I hate this...My body is dead....
My head feels like it weighs 50lbs I can’t even pick up my arm I’m so tired.
Okay hmm I’ll need to sleep in later than I thought...
Lets see it’s 4:30 AM right now if I wake up at 2:30 pm I’ll have 8 hours
Now all I need to do is just FALL asleep!
I miss my friends in Commerce...I haven’t seen them in forever.
(name) was nice..she was really pretty too. I should have asked her out.
Man I remember performing on stage with Paul. My voice has never sounded better.
Hmm I should write a poem about this..about not being able to sleep.
I can post it on TFP they’d prolly get a kick outta that. They liked the last one.
I wonder when I’ll start college again? I really should just say fuck it and go back this fall.
The longer I wait the more I’ll regret it. I wish I could be in the dorms again.
That was fun...sleepin when I wanted..hanging out with friends...
Never got to invite a girl up to my room but I could if I got the chance to.
They have dorms at the college nearby...it’s still pretty close though
I don’t think I’d need to live in one of them. They’re expensive. I’d be paying it off forever
Well shit everyone who goes to college pays it off forever....yeah...
Maybe I should break out my CD player and listen to a song to help me sleep.
That always works pretty good for me..I could listen to Sigur Ros.
Ah shit my big headphones are still freakin broken! I need to super glue them again
Where did put the super glue by the way? Last time it got on my pants!

That shit e’ll never come off...I wonder if I could peel it off somehow. I bet I could
Should I look at the clock? No don’t open your eyes cause if you do it’ll be longer!
Does that really make sense? If I’m gonna fall asleep it won’t matter if my eyes are open for three freakin seconds.
Okay I’m gonna look...damn it’s 5:07 I’m never gonna fuckin fall asleep
The suns starting to creep in the blinds too. Hey theres a bird outside my window

Man there were feathers all over the yard a while back..I wonder why they were all there
Maybe a cat ate some of the birds and left their feathers everywhere. Poor birdies

I remember that one little baby bird we found on the ground when we moved here.
It was so cute...poor little thing died the very next night though...I don’t understand
I went out side and got it a worm, and a cricket and smooshed em up so he could eat em.
He ate em too I fed it...It musta been sick I guess. Can’t help it dying if it was sick.
Man I am never gonna get to sleep I give up...
(No thoughts for a while...before I know it)

ZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzZZzZZZZ

(Realize I’m dreaming..sorta)
\\The dream//
(0pens microwave)
Hey cool jello..mom made some jello in the microwave!
(wakes up)
Jello in the microwave? That doens’t make any fucking sense! Ah dammit I don’t wanna get up.
(Sits up, stretches and yells..then gets out of bed)

Hope you liked this very fucked up journey into my mind...I know it was a lot to read so if you did read all of it..thank you and I hope your head doesn't hurt too much. I'm weird..I know this..I'm comfortable with it! haha

Thanx again. Love you guys!

Wow. I can totally relate to that. I constantly have streams of "conversation" with myself running through my head when trying to get to sleep.

I really liked it. Must try doing it myself sometime....

K-Wise · 02-21-2005, 05:20 PM

^ Awesome! Yeah try doing it yourself it'll be fun!

Asta!!

foosball · 02-23-2005, 02:37 PM

This happens to me all the time. Unfortunately I always go to bed so late I stress out about needing to fall asleep instantly, which really just makes it harder. Though when I have time I realty enjoy just relaxing and letting my mind flow while in bed. With the lights out and with no noisy distractions, it's the perfect opportunity to crawl around inside your head. It is, indeed, one of my favorite things to do when I've got a little THC in my system.

TheWalkinDude · 02-23-2005, 02:45 PM

That's pretty much how all my nights are spent. A completely random stream of thoughts that go on until I finally drop off in the early hours of the morning. I like how you managed to write them all down in a way that makes it seem like a stream of thoughts, that can't be easy.

foosball's right. When you know you can sleep in the next morning it's really great, you just lie back and let your thoughts run their own course. But when you know your alarm clock's going to wake you up at a set time, it just pressures you to go to sleep quickly

Yeah I tried to make it seem as natural as possible so I kinda just let my mind flow like it does in the night and picked out specific ones I could remember actually going through my head while trying to sleep. So I've actually thought all of that stuff before. I won't say it was easy but it wasn't TOO difficult.

Asta!!

iktoweya · 02-27-2005, 11:11 PM

this pretty much summed up my younger years in life when i was sent to sleep. i can honestly say this no longer happens to me as i hardly ever go to sleep at any given time anymore. usually i just pass out while im doin something.

K-Wise · 02-28-2005, 12:21 AM

^ Yeah like when you used to pass out on your computer chair. Do you still do that?

Asta!!

IC3 · 02-28-2005, 01:00 AM

I'm with you on this K-Wise

I have the most sporadic thoughts when i'm trying to go to sleep..All it takes is one word and i'm thinking of something totally different and it just keeps snowballing until i'm in that zone where i'm half asleep half awake. Then i'm like YES i'm falling asleep and then..I wake up and do it all over again.

Music is what usually helps me..Just loud enough to hear it.

What really gets to me is..I will start thinking "I think i feel a piss coming on", Then i kinda make myself have to piss then i don't wanna get out of my warm bed and walk on the cold floor in my bare feet but then i won't be able to fall asleep until i go use the washroom.

K-Wise · 02-28-2005, 02:55 AM

^ EXACTLY! Thats what I'm talkin about! I hate that shit.

Asta!!
