Burning the Mid-night Oil

   So I've been thinking, my sleep schedule is completely out of whack. I'm one of those people who can sleep for 2 hours and run the entire day, seriously. Of course that's not fun nor a good idea when you have to work the next morning ugh yeah not a great idea.

   On many nights I'm up easily til 3 am. Recently however that's been extended to about mmmm 6-9 am! I mean in the event that you aren't tired, there's actually quite a bit you can do in the wee hours of the morn..night mornight? It's technically both. Anyway there's lots that can be done while everyone else is resting their dreary heads from a long days work.

  A lot of the time I spend hours upon hours watching cooking shows on Create Tv (channel 19-3 for those of you without cable or satellite) Which is ironic, because I can't cook to save my life! I've watched quite a few over the last few years, but it's just not sticking. Then you have your Nature shows and what have you. There is always new and interesting things to learn about animals. Did you know some dogs can smell disease? I know right!

   Then you have your woodworking shows. Rough Cut is a particular favorite of mine. I know it looks a little weird, it's a pretty strange combination of shows. Back on topic. Carpentry is fascinating, complicated but fascinating. Jesus was a carpenter.
I'd kind of like to try my hand at it, but there is just so much that goes into it. Maybe when I have more time...and money...and a workshop.

   Last but not least. PAINTING. Now just like cooking, I CAN. NOT. PAINT. At all. Period. I'm not a bad artist, but I can't paint.
Okay I'm starting to see a pattern here. Why I'm I so interested in things that are complicated or I'm no good at? Anyway The Best of the Joy of Painting. By Bob Ross is my favorite! I mean the man is an artistic genius! He was a painter for a long time, so it's understandable that he's improved to the level of perfection. As they say practice makes perfect...but for me some of those things just aren't meant to be :/

The moral here is. "There is a time and a place for everything. Including staying up insanely late watching cooking and painting shows."
