Sleep is the circuit-breaker for the troubled mind

I did it to myself. I always do it to myself. It could be worse I suppose, I could hide in the bottle, or the drug, or even in random senceless violence. Instead I go to sleep.

Sitting here in front of a double headed deluge of information, yes one monitor isn't enough to sustain me. I become the information that flows into me. If the news is good, I am filled with joy, if the news is tragic, I am filled with tragedy. Hopelessness creates hopelessness, pain creates pain. The cure might be to take a honest walk around and listen to the birds, or watch the unexpecting masses. There reaches a point however you have to know to know to get out of the way. Then once you realize you have to have the strength to pull away. When all else fails, at least the autonomic response is there, to pull the plug.

I guess doesn't really explain what I am doing in front of the torrent on a Saturday though does it?
