Plus side to vacumes, the equalize air pressure . . . well, thas more of a definition . . .

too much free time sucks

plus time, got plenty of time to ponder, which scares me. so that sucks

so i try to go somewheres and do something, then cant get the wierd thoughts outta my head

which leads to designing incredibly complex AI in my head while trying to sleep

which i forget most of by morning

which means i slept, meaning i'm rested

meaning i have free time

meaning it starts all over

Oh my God, you just wrote exactly how I have been feeling! It's just a vicious circle, going round and round. I gues the upside is that at least we're alive to gripe about it.
