You have a loving family, a nice job, some money in your pocket and your health is relatively stable. As far as most of the world goes you have it relatively good. But there is something missing. Something that you could use more of. You chase it daily and as you get older you find it more and more elusive. When you were young it wasn't important, in fact at times it slowed you down and seemed like a waste of time. After all you could always catch up with it later when it was absolutely necessary to keep going. But all of that has changed. Now is has become a precious commodity that you chase, desire and beg for. Sleep..  

A certain point in life everyone craves sleep. But some of us beg for it more often than not. We past out from exhaustion or just because our bodies have given up. But it isn't sleep, not the real relaxing. Sleep like we did till noon when we were twenty kind of sleep. Its the kind of sleep that lasts a few hours but stops when the rain is to loud and you wonder if the basement is flooding again. Or the sleep that every parent has with you keeping one eye open until your teenager is home safe from that "party" at a friends house. Counting sheep,drugs, reading, music, ball games on the radio, reliving a the childhood memory of you playing basketball with the older guys and hitting the winning shot...zzzzzzzzzzzz....ohh where was I????

I guess its time to start chasing the fours of sleep that I will probably

get tonight....maybe tonight some of them will be in a row.
