I lay in bed tonight thinking too much again. And I must blame it on the reading I have all but finished of a book called A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken. The book was, deep, to say nothing more. Of course, the long and strong conversations I had tonight attributed to my minds' inability to rest as well. But these are worthy of causing my sleep to once again take on an oblong shape, rather than the healthy rounded form I wish it to take.
SO....what did I do since I obviously didn't sleep tonight. Well, let me tell you.
I lay in bed pondering many deep and unknowable truths about humanity, it relationships and such, when suddenly the thought ocurred to me that I had eaten the rest of Seth's bag of Chili-Cheese Frito's. So like any good and concientious roommate, I sprang up immediately, dressed and headed off to the never-ceasing wonderland known as Wal-Mart. This late night foray was not without its' consequences since I was struck by a very hard and oblique case of paranoia as I walked out of the house and to my vehicle. But I didn't let that stand in my way. Oh no. I had Frito's to buy, and I was not to be denied. While perusing the aisles of that grand purveyor of packaged products, I found it interesting that I could only locate two bags of Chili-Cheese on the chips aisle. But alas, two were all I needed (one for me, and one for him), and so was not dismayed at this state of affairs.
I proceeded to scan the limited selection of movie titles while there (after all, I needed something to watch while snacking) only to disappointed with the quality of the discounted availables. A side note on purchasing a movie at 4am at Wal-Mart: be very careful. Judgement on what sounds good is not....shall we say....ideal. But I held off and didn't lower my standards while in the electronics section. After some random aisle wandering, I decided I had had enough excitement for one trip and headed to check out. As I ambled toward the only working cashier, I noticed another grouping of discounted movies, so naturally I gave it another go. One must not give up on the idea too quickly after all. The idea is to buy a title which one has never experienced before and that one, during normal waking hours, would most likely not consider worth the time. After much internal consternation, I made my selection and set about checking out, but only after grabbing a 20 oz. DP of course. Snacking creates thirst if you didn't know.
I arrived home after dealing with a much milder case of bewilderment to share my thoughts with all of whom may be reading this and now plan on retiring for the even....err....I mean morning. So wish me luck as I hunker down for that all-time classic and thought provoking display of grandeur known commnonly as "Knockaround Guys."
