Late Nights



I have found myself up later and later this summer, and lately until the sun comes at 5:30-6:00 AM. What am I doing up so late you might wonder? Sure some of the time I've been with someone, which is a fair reason to be up late. The majority of the time I'm by myself and I'm doing one of four things.
1. Playing Madden
I seem to always play better at night. My team is focused, we plan on only one game for the night (unlike during the day when I play half a season) but end up playing two or three because I don't want to ruin our groove. Then there is the offseason schedule night. I plan on just doing a portion of it, or at least get to the preseason, but end up wanting to get a game in with the new team, which can take 5 hours from ProBowl- Renewing Contracts- Scouting- Drafting- Training Camp- Preseason- First Game. That being said, I went from Superbowl champs to having to relocate in one season.
2. Playing/Writing Music
Some nights I get into a good groove with something and just want to keep it going as long as I can stay awake (which is pretty long usually).
3. Reading
You may be surprised to find this one on here, but occationally one of the reasons I'm up later than usual is because I'm trying to read before bed to fall asleep and get hooked instead. My current reading is The Dharma Bums.
4. USELESS #*@$ing TV!
You know you have a problem when you flip between Girls Gone Wild on Comedy Central and it's poor man's Wild Party Girls on Spike back and forth for an hour and half. And the worst of it is, as much as I would probably buy these videos, the only time I'd watch them is the same time the infomercial is on, and frankly I do alright with the censored version. No need to buy them, cause then I might get sick of the midget coming up from the hottub with a snorkel, and smokin' hot blonde on the pink team. By the way, the Girls Gone Wild Games may be my favorite of all the former GGW video 30 minute infomercial, toping Endless Summer. I give kudos to WPG's for trying to cash in on a piece of the pie, but imagine trying to start this one up. Everyone knows GGW, but you come up to a party with a camera and start telling girls, hey get naked for Wild Party Girls! And then they give you a look like, "You mean Girls Gone Wild, right?" Which explains the lack of really hot girls on WPG, but oh well, even uglier girls like to be wild and crazy. I don't think a version called "Decent Girls Gone Wild" would do as well, so it's good that they went with the accurate, yet misleading title they have now.
The saddest part of the night comes when I realize there isn't going to be another "Here's some booze, now get naked!" show and fitness shows (which can be entertaining if desperate) and infomercials for real estate come on, commanding me to go to sleep at once. I wonder where my day has gone when I wake up at 2:30 and have enough time to check my Hot or Not rating (a handsome 9.8) eat and go to work to do it all over again.

Thought from the night:
Why do they show the blooper real in the GGW Games infomercial? Is that to make us believe there was a lot of planning to these scenes or just to add some humor to take the edge of the guilt we feel for watching it with the volume really low?
Off-The-Topic Thought:
If candy was used for currency, would the 100 grand bar still retain it's value?
