I suffer from insomnia and sometimes I want to write down the thoughts that come to me when I lie there in the dark. I wonder what other people think about right before they fall asleep. I wonder if my thoughts are shared by any other.

Working late
Good evening everyone. My brother (Rudolf) and I are working late on a project to be submitted before midnight central American time. The project is very cool. Marvel comics are running a competition for animators. They have provided a couple of comic strips and the task is to animate these static comics. One is a battle between Wolverine and The Hulk and the other is called Nova. Marvel has provided everything needed to complete the animation from soundtracks to effects. Finalists are given extra funds and two more weeks to complete the motiom comic and the winner gets $10000. Rudolf does the work and I provide moral support. It is a very mutually beneficial relationship. As we were working my brother mentioned how much he would like to sleep through the whole night for a change as opposed to working on this project. All I can think is thank goodness I have a valid reason to be awake at this time of night. I am not just lying there in the dark trying to count sheep (for some reason I can never get past 200), I am helping someone. Working late is in most cases considered to be a bad thing. But it can be a blessing to focus on something intricate and physical instead of grappling with the darkness of your mind. To shift the focus away from yourself and instead help out a friend. Maybe that is the cure to insomnia. To stop being selfish and reach out to others. Maybe I will sleep soundly after this is done. I pray that the upload of the file will be successful and on time.
