Slow Dreamed Punches

It might seem obvious that we know our dreams from our waking life. If someone asks you how you can be sure, really sure, that you do not every morning fall asleep from the reality of flying through clouds and speaking with animals and cascading through time, to the dream life of going to school and doing the dishes and always seeing the same people again and again, you don't really have to argue with them. Or so it might seem.

I can't sleep, even if I wanted to anyway. Recurring theme of my blog, right? No sleep.

"You should write more about your insomnia. I think its hilarious"-- I'm glad you're amused by it Sean.
I'm not miserable about my lack of sleep, it just happens. Not sleeping gives me lots of time to think and be creative and conjure up stories in my head. It could also be argued that this is what's keeping me up. Vicious cycle.

I don't write about school in my blog very much because.. who cares? Who cares how hard my classes are or how brutal an exam was or how frustrating studying is? No one.

I do want to share this with you though. I had to do a research project on any health-related topic of my choice, so I chose to write on type 1 diabetes. Instead of doing a power point presentation like most of my classmates, I put together this video of my brother who was recently diagnosed with diabetes in March of 2009. It's just under 3 minutes. Don't mind the youtube quality. Enjoy.
