3am Thoughts

My parents have started to notice that I never am home as much as I have been in the past. I don't think they have a problem with me being out late and doing other things besides staying at home, but I feel like I am in that part of a movie of a kid who grew up to be a semi-mature adult. Ya know, the part where the guy's parents are standing on their porch saying "They grow up so fast" while a tear drop falls from the mother's eyes and the father has to bring her inside so she doesn't make a scene in the neighborhood. That's where I am at right now, at least that's what I think.

A major reason as to why I stay out so late is because majority of my buddies are either working super long shifts or are asleep during the day, making the time frame of 10 pm to 2/3 am prime time for shenanigans.

Although I didn't hang out with anybody or do anything crazy last night, I just couldn't fall asleep as easily as I should have. So, I stayed up for hours upon hours just thinking about anything that came o my mind.

One of those random thoughts that came over me is how humans pronounce words. If you think about it, words are just a bunch of letters strung along one another and we pronounce them as such. It just blows my mind for some reason and I am not too sure why. Especially when you stumble across a word that you just said and take a second to think about why the word is like this. "Why does "especially" sound the way it does and why is it spelled like that?" Questions like that and others rattle my psyche to no end.

Another concept that I thought about is how great dogs are. They are some of the most pure animals on the planet. My dog is old and sleeps a ton but he is the apple of my eye undoubtedly. Most dogs that I have met are always so nice and genuine and like to make you feel welcome. And, no matter what, they are always by your side. There have been times where I accidentally have stepped on my dogs paw or tail and he just licks me as if I had just given him a treat. Needless to say, I love dogs. A lot.

In other news that is unrelated to this blog post, I am going to D.C. this weekend to see one of my best friend's new house that he and some others bought for this upcoming school year. I plan on getting very belligerent this weekend and hope others around me choose to do the same. Cheers!
