I'm not an insomniac...
I'm just a raging t.v. addict. Have recently discovered that I can watch on the internet all at once 3 seasons of a british drama called "Skins." For all of you out there, I'm trying to help when I say don't watch it! You will get fucking hooked and regret not getting more sleep/shit done.
But since I'm up...might as well blog.
I recently saw a performance of a dance troupe from New Zealand called "Black Grace." It was really inspring for me because these dancers were so strong and agile, they performed the movement effortlessly and everyone was moving at the exact same time and the feeling of each piece was so strong and complete you are immediately drawn into it in the first ten seconds. There were actually people in the audience going "oooh" and "aaah." I want to dance like that.
Another thing that was especially inspring was the use of repetitive movement. Each dance had maybe two or three complete phrases in it and they were just repeated with different facings, groups of dancers, or endings and it was actually really effective in communicating the themes and stories of the various dances. I'm not going to go on much longer about this but it was truly inspiring and I just think the world would be a better place if people went to see things like that and let it affect their lives.
I really don't want to go to sleep only to be woken up rudely by an alarm clock and then be forced to do all these things I don't care about that actually make me feel guilty about the small things I do get pleasure from because they are keeping me from the stuff I "need" to get done. T.V series, skyping, eating, I can never enjoy it fully because always in the back of my mind is someone saying, "you should really be doing ______." Boy roommate assures me that when I get my degree it will all be worth it and I'll be able to do the little things I love more often, as well as the more meaningful things. I sure hope he's right, which only enhances my increasingly torturous need to graduate and get the hell out of here.
