Not a darn thing. At least we've had no shootings!:D Well, not that I know of anyway!

Well you gotta like that. When I lived in Salinas they had the MS13 bunch (nasty) as well as bloods and crips. Can you imagine fighting over where you spent time in prison? We also had vietnamese gangs that were hanging out and nocking off diamond couriers.

It's hotter than heck here, but the last couple of days have been nice. I really miss the mountains and the ocean. But I live next to lake Huron and it's really nice.

Yeah, 45 minutes to the mountain, maybe 60 to Mt. Rainier. Approx. 5 hours to the beach. We're going to the Oregon coast a couple of times this summer. Can't wait. That's the one nice thing about living here. The Columbia river is close, mountains are close and the beaches aren't too awfully far. It's been hot here too but at least we don't get the humidity.

Are you in that damn sneaker mode???:facepalm:

The long crash sleeps always feel good. Makes you feel energized again. :D

Yep, I just leaned to take sleep when I can. What's cool is most of my friends get it. So if I need to get some rack time they will hand me a pillow and a blanket and let me be.

I won't drink and drive so when I'm hanging at my friend's houses, I often end up awake all night, but I can't drive home. So I read a ton, I always bring a book if I know I'm going to be hanging out at a buds house while they are sleeping. I know I'm lucky to have friends who understand.

Not sure why, but my friends always invite me over regardless. Might have something to do with me bringing a guitar along and learning their favorite songs.

Not sure, but if your asking if I hide what thread I am on, yes I do. I had a problem with a D-bag following me around just to put down anything I said, you might be able to guess who it was.

Please don't watch this unless you have a warped sense of humor and are not easilly offended. The only reason I think it's funny is that I hardly ever watch tv, but I still get bombarded with commercials were everyone is acting all happy and fun while they use these products.

I have to work from 11pm to 7am so I'm up with you insomniacs. Is it that people would rather watch shows online then sleep? I mean I used to be like that. Stay up on the internet until 6-8 am and then a couple hours, late classes in college. Now I just force myself to lie down in bed and do nothing. Try not to think of sleeping and then next think I know it's time to wake up.

I've had friends that wouldn't sleep every other day...

My record is only 54hrs, with some help.

Always up now. Don't go to bed til about 2 or 3....get up at 9. Sometimes (well, mostly) I have to take a half a shot of nyquil. Worked 3:30 to midnight too many years.

Yah I hear you, I think that's what put my clock out of wack as well. It's cool though, I make half my living playing in bars so it works out fine, I'm actually awake and sober at 2am for closing time.

I can't do nyquil, the tylenol in it messes up my liver. If you drink don't do tylenol. I had a bad reaction about 15 years ago. It shut down my liver, I lost every inch of skin on my body including my fingernails and toenails. I lost all my taste buds and couldn't taste anything for about two months. but it was my own fault. I had a cold and took some for the fever and then didn't realize I took more for my throat.

I'm sure a half dose is cool, but it scared the heck out of me so now I'm paranoid about it.
