yawn

I feel like I've been in some kind of stupor lately. I'm not entirely sure what's induced it, or how to remedy it. I can ask for more time to myself, yet I find that even those hours are squandered clicking aimlessly through the various tabs of links I had been meaning to peruse through, skimming a few lines here and there, getting bored, and ultimately falling back to refreshing my twitter page every 5 or so minutes. Before I know it, it's past midnight and like anyone approaching the twilight of their lives, I find myself thinking back to the 'good ol' days' when it was still 7pm. The night was so young back then. It had so many ambitions.

Maybe I just need to unplug for awhile. Maybe I need to be poked on facebook or see my screenname with an '@' in front of it on twitter, just to make sure I'm still alive.

For the record, I'm not exactly feeling down or sorry for myself. Just a little brain dead.

And if a 10 minute video is too long for you to comprehend/follow/pay attention to, here's a video of Shaq conducting the Boston Pops:
