Why?

I really don't know why I don't update this thingy more. I do have a lot on my mind, and much to say but the times when I feel like typing are often not the times I am thinking so much. I can only do one at a time really.
Also my sleeplessness has made my brain a bit fuzzy. I tend to not go to sleep until there is already daylight and I only wake up an hour before I have to be at work, or when someone interrupts my sleep. It is a grueling cycle I cannot seem to break. Like today, I woke up at 7:30am because I passed out the night before due to not sleeping the night before that. You would think I would be tired now, but alas I am still awake at nearly 4am. Considering I have to work at 6am it doesn't give me much time to sleep.
Also I recently bought the Sims again because when you don't have your own exciting life you might as well live vicariously through a two dimensional computer being. My first Sim got married and then his pregnant wife died due to exhaustion. The second was a couple except their children were taken away by the social services. Dreary really. Such is life I suppose. A good essay about the Sims and its relation to actual life can be found in Chuck Klosterman's "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs", quite possibly one of my favorite books. Go buy it and read it, especially the Sims essay.
I have been kind of lazy lately, I have not read many books or listened to much new music. I really have to get back on that, I buy so many books online and then they just sit in my room, many are currently under my bed waiting to be read. I bought a collection of essays and articles from a music writer, I forget his name right now, as well as many books of varied themes, mostly nonfiction because I like the truth more. I also prefer memiors to almost anything. But even having said that Kurt Vonnegut remains to be my favorite writer ever, even if his books are crazy and fictional.
I should probably sleep.
