Safe To Disconnect?
So I've decided that writing in a blog is lame. I mean don't get me
wrong it's wonderful for me to have an outlet for not only my crazy
wacky thoughts but also for my creativity. However, it's a cop out for
other people, they can casually browse a day in my life and not have to
actually engage me in conversation. I was sitting here thinking about
all the things I wanted to talk to one of my friends about and then
realized he's probably already read all of this and knows everything I'm
going to tell him which is why our conversations have been pretty one
sided, or him flipping the conversation back to be about him. I think
that's unfair. I don't want to bore him with the same stories, and his
lack of apparent interest makes me think he already knows. Our
conversation sucks now, and we have always had wonderful conversation.
The blog is a cop out.
I'm not going to stop writing in it, I
just had that realization and felt the need to share it with someone,
and since this is the new form of communication in my life here we are.
In
other news I recorded my first... Vlog? It's a video tour of my hotel
room cause... ya know... I suddenly have all this time on my hands. I
figured it would do more justice than just a bunch of random pictures.
In other other news I'm still not sleeping very well. I'm starting to get concerned for myself. It's honestly been almost a week since the last time I got a good solid nights sleep. Here it may be the temperature fluctuations in my room. It's either comfortable or I'm soaking in sweat. I kind of hate it. Aside from that I woke up with a bad headache this morning and I'm not sure why, if it's from dehydration or something from sweating all night. Either way it's making my desire to go out and do stuff fade pretty quickly.
The worst part about feeling like crap, I just recently watched that movie contagion... and I just spent a bunch of time traveling. Thinking about the movie did make me more aware of touching my face, washing my hands, and not touching too many publicly touched surfaces.But I'll tell you what, the second my head started hurting this morning, my thought was of that movie. I may become a germ-a-phoebe. I guess the good thing about being here during that time is that there are signs and things everywhere about washing your hands and being aware of germs and things. It's kind of reassuring. Public health is a really big deal here.
