The end being near and silly things like that...

I have been sleeping less than 5 hours per day since friday, and it's starting to be evident. Yesterday I was most of the day like a zombie!!... the sad part is that my most productive time was, yet again, late at night!. For some reason my sleepiness fades away, all of a sudden I feel fresh, and with some music as company I can just start working for quite a while.

By the way, it's impressive how the march of the sinister ducks can not only keep you awake, but amuze you for quite a while!!!... you can download the mp3 from that link, Neil Gaiman got the author's permission to post the link. The author, by the way, is Alan Moore... yes, that same guy that I keep talking about.

Something that struck me as odd yesterday was to realize, for some odd reason, how there are so many theories from different cultures stating that the world is going to end in 2012... I don't know why, but the idea got stuck in my head and I know it's founded on stuff I've read in lots of places. I will make a formal research on the topic, and probably post an essay here. While I started commenting on it with my brother and my father I stared realizing a couple of things: (a) if indeed the world ends, we don't know in which way it will do so. Some claim that it is just a "change of the world as we know it", a new evolution of mankind... and (b) I don't care... if for some reason someone makes me believe that it's a true fact that on 2012 we are gone, I would keep on doing my thing and enjoying my life. I guess the idea of a certain date on a certain time does not frigthen me, but makes me value more my "living seconds".

When we came home I was planning to start inking right away, but something out of the ordinary happened and we all started talking for a long time in the terraza, my dad, victor, kike and I stared having this teological discussion, about faith vs. reason, the church, the view of sex and all that... and it was a great talk!. Way too intelligent if I may say... I think I was impressed by my dad... he is always a quiet guy, I whish I could talk to him more, or realize more of his ideas... he doesn't only know a whole bunch of facts and theories on all things philosophical, he as well weaves them together and comes up with great arguments on his own. The talk was good, I almost wish I could post it here... there is so much stuff inside my father, I wish I could see him more as a friend to learn from than a dad... I know... it gets complicated some times.

Anyway... the talk came to and end at some point, and we all started doing our thing...

It feels good to be only sleeping 5 hours a day, I mean, I feel tired... but I feel I am getting more out of my time... getting things done, writting, drawing... being silly.

-- cheers... =o)
