I’m leaving Daily Kos. I am leaving as a response to my being tired, and the fact that I have to be up for work at 7:06.
I am not leaving forever. And I’d like to be clear that I’m not being dramatic about leaving by writing a lengthy, self-involved diary about this. I’m not pissed off that I think Markos lives in a different time zone than me, and therefore gets to stay up later, sleep in longer. Am I jealous? Yes. Do I want to live in a similar time zone? That means that I’d be at work later than I am now, so probably not. But, at the end of the day, I’m going to go to bed when I have to, and Markos is going to go to bed when he has to.
I’ve learned a lot from Markos. I can only imagine what he would have to teach me in the time that I’m wasting sleeping, while he’s still up, thinking things – things that he could teach me – like how to use a sewing machine, or the principles of quantum physics.
Reading these diaries have been amazing too – what will be posted while I sleep? Will some crackpot diary scroll off of the list by the time I wake up? This time sleeping could deprive me to a link to a "9/11 was an inside job" video, or the opinions of ZGinTN – and where am I going to find comical cat pictures? Some will be posted while I sleep THAT I"VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
As I said earlier, I’ve learned much from Markos. But his refusal to move closer to me is denying me the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to chuckle at kittens. But I guess that’s what he wants. It seems a strange lesson to teach me, when he could be teaching me how to play the harmonica, or make a clock run the power from a potato.
So I’m gone – adios jerks who are staying up later. I hope you’re happy in your little perfect fantasy land of later nights than me. Markos could make this all better by moving closer to me, but since he apparently doesn’t want to, I guess he’s going to be losing a page hit for about 8 hours. Deal with it. In the meantime, I’ll be over posting a diary at MyDailyDream.
And this was not a dramatic huff – are we clear?
