The Night Shift

[Tex Is Lost]

So I wake at 2:30 AM. And I can't get back to sleep.
Picking up my trust sidearm (my BlackBerrry), I wander through the threads reading, posting in a couple of threads, and noticing that I'm not alone.

Half glimpsed through the moonlit forest of threads I see other nocturnal visitors in this place . A trail of new replies sufficient to track their progress winds its way across our digital landscape.

Who are they? Where do they come from? Why are they wandering in this wilderness at this late hour?

And I wonder.

Do they see me? Does my own passage through the woods leave enough for them to trace my own wanderings?

Then I debate with myself...

Do I light a Private Message signal fire to ease my lonely walk? Or do I quietly move on through and leave The Night Shift to its quiet passage.

Hope this made sense. Just got the urge to try being creatve

I see you lurking ahead of me, Texas. The voices in my head say your Blackberry is useless. Mwwwaaaaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaahaa!
Ok, maybe they aren't right all the time, but they do have some really good ideas.
In the dark, dark night in a dark, dark forest there was a dark, dark pathway. And on this dark, dark pathway; there was a dark, dark house with a dark, dark stair case ---->

Oh yeah? Well I can use my BlackBerry as a flashlight! Where's your dark staircase now?

Wow. My whole post made a lot more sense at 2:30 AM.
Go figure.....

Ya know what guys? Especially you, Tex clutching your big BB flashlight **giggles** I feel it's so ok (and at times ones civil duty) to be right down silly to the point of being stupid. Especially at 230 am wadering "down a moonlight forest of threads."
It's good to laugh at ourselves Who was it that said laughter is the shortest distance between two people?

Wow, you know, that describes something I've felt a number of times in my years on the internet. But I never could've worded it quite so beautifully. Wow.

Really? Thanks.

Wait...did you mean the "fuzzy headed" part or the original post?

I LOVED this post.

Tex--I am a total insomniac and feel your "middle of the night wander's ponderings."

Naleena--I completely agree with the need to get silly. The world could use a few more sillies! LOVED the clip as well.
