At a time when I should be getting a bit more rest and relaxation I actually feel like somehow my body is craving inactivity, and that fact is manifesting itself in subtle ways. On my way back to my car from work, I usually get a light nap on the train. I close my eyes and focus on the music coming from my iPod. Usually though, it really is just a light nap–I usually still have control over my head, you know? It’s not uncommon for me though to zone out for a few stops. The other day though, I really fell asleep. I think I was listening to something quiet when I fell under. Next thing you know: clang!

You know those guys that nod off in their seat and their heads bob up and down drowsily? Every now and then their heads would dip perilously close to hitting something but they back away all of a sudden. In some weird perverse way, you sort of hope that their head would make contact but it hardly ever does. Yeah, I was that guy, except…I actually did hit something. My head hit the bar next to my seat. Not only did I hit the bar, but also the hand of this cutie hanging on while reading a book. With drowsy eyes I looked up and apologized. She just nodded and smiled.

It’s all good, man. A bit of normalcy is just around the corner.
