If you have it, you don't need it.

If you need it, you don't have it.

If you have it, you need more of it.

If you have more of it, you don't need less of it.

You need it to get it.

And you certainly need it to get more of it.

But if you don't already have any of it to begin with, you can't get any of it to get started which means you really have no idea how to get it in the first place, do you?

You can share it, sure.

You can even stockpile it if you'd like.

But you can't fake it.

Wanting it, needing it, wishing for it.

The point is...

If you've never had any of it, ever, people just seem to know.

are you still awake because both of your adjoined neighbors, next door and below, decided it was an awesome evening to enjoy shitty, bass heavy music? oh just me then.

Oh, well. Nothing the New Adventures of Hitler can't fix.

I was awake still at 4:30 this morning. Of course I am working Graveyard shift this week, so I'm supposed to be awake then. Or something. Whatever, I'm going to sleep now. It's been a long weekend and I'm looking forward to some shuteye.

I was awake until almost 3 AM this morning (some of you might have noticed my hasty departure from IRC), playing Transport Tycoon (OpenTTD, in fact). It wasn't planned that way. I installed it last night, then started playing and the next thing I knew, it was already 3 AM. I woke up at 10, had breakfast, and now it's already 4 PM and I've spent 4 hours in the library, doing research. I'm finished with this for today (got stuck and have to figure out what to do next). And now I'm going to translate these advertisement/sponsorship offers that need to be translated by tomorrow afternoon.

I was up at 4:30. I'm still up. But I was paid to be up--yay, work! Now I'm gonna have a cocktail followed by a hot bath, an icepack on the shoulder, and bed. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I have no riddle or profound thoughts for you though. Except that Cream sounded way better when I was 16.

I saw the commercial last night and laughed my ass off. I hope they paid BC a big fat pile of cash.
