munchies...

June 12, 2010

Yes, it is the middle of the night. 2:21 a.m. to be exact, and here i sit with a bowl of kettle corn, my glasses propped on my nose..the tv humming in the background and i sit at the desk..surfing the net reading blogs and sending emails to friends. Why? Because i have the middle of the night munchies...not really...i just dont like being in bed alone. When I wake up and there is noone there to snuggle next to, i just get up and make my way to the computer, the tv, the refrigerator..these are my nighttime buddies...

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.

Nighttime is when i become the philospher...since my "buddies" dont talk back to me. I spend to much time thinking. I wonder if the great philosphers from Socrates to Albert Einstein often spent time in the middle of the night with their chosen "buddies" thinking. I hope so, because that gives me hope that all these hours of lost sleep may be beneficial some day..not that i am saying i aspire to be a great philosopher. I would not be so arrogant as to classify myself with greats such as Socrates. (smiles to self) I just had a mental image of myself with Albert Einstein hair...ok so i think i am getting tired now.

I say goodnight to all my "buddies" and thank you once again for being there when i came from my bed, furry slippers and all!
