Sleepy texts

Lately I’ve been texting myself in the middle of the night.

Aside from my pillows, blankets, and lamp, I go to bed with two things within my reach—a book and my cell phone.

Most of the day I don’t make any effort to jot down my ideas. It’s only when I’m half asleep, that my ideas are crazy enough and my confidence is limber that I feel compelled to hold on to my thoughts. Of course, it’s also important to realize that I’m on the brink of sleep and will no doubt lose my idea if I don’t record it.

So I reach over, grab my cell and text myself a little note.

Here are some of the things I’m texted to myself:

Jan 30, 12:18 am
Crap as shit.

Jan 30, 8:27 am
Feet up eye down legs up hair down sitting in a rocking chair. fresh horns

Jan 30, 9:59 am

You ever let an itch go? You ever eat all the crust first? You ever pour your sugar in then not stir it?
