I have kept my eyes shut for nearly five hours but I feel as though I haven’t had a single minute of sleep or reverie. I have tried taking a hot bath, and lit up some fragrant oils to simulate that soothing sleepy effect. That didn’t work. Camomile tea – took the precaution of having decaf. Nada. Could it be that having yoga before you sleep is a guaranteed wake-upper? Hmm. I just couldn’t stop thinking about the waves at Huntington beach. And the quaint food places along Little Saigon. Then I started thinking about my dream house. And skinny dipping. And that time I ate meat by accident back when I was a vegetarian. Random shit.
Anyway so I’m having trouble sleeping.
Yessir, it's quite the ungodly hour.
As a kid, a radio would lull me to sleep. You hear the cheesiest stuff on the radio back in the early 90s. They’d play 80′s ballads like there’s no tomorrow. But that my friends, would guarantee my trip to lala-land.
Who knows why I turned out with such an eclectic taste in music?
In any case, I wondered if the same remedy still worked on me. I started with The Jets and their song “You got it all” and then followed by Billy Ocean’s “Suddenly”. Gee, these are actually the songs I think about singing in karaoke. Subconscious much?
I’m sure some of you who were born in the 80s must have gone through something similar to this experience. Ah, radio memories. For indulgence’s sake, I thought I’d post some songs I put on tonight. Oh, and watch out for the saxophone guy! Such an 80s staple.
