One of these pondering things/deal-ios.

Yes I know, two posts in under 24 hrs and you're all stunned (like I am) and in a state of shock and awe and quite frankly, if you are .. I appologise. If you plan to sue me for whatever damages this may have caused I am affraid you won't get much except for a "I'm sorry" (and isn't a heartfelt sorry worth more than a monetary settlement anyways? No? you'd take the money? don't worry so would I!) and a bottle or Gatorade (you will have your choice between Blueberry, Orange, Fruit Punch and Lime) from my 24 pack that I have downstairs in the kitchen (if you want Fruit Punch you better hurry up because I have one left and chances are I will drink it soon).

Anyhoo ...

I find this hard to figure out let alone understand and maybe, just maybe I may be in the minority here (and if I'm not ... well THAT ain't a bad thing!) . It's simply this:

Am I the only one that seems to be at their creative best around this time of night/morning? It was like that as far as I can remember during my earlier days in either public school, highschool or even (when I actually chose to and believe it or not applied myself) in college.

I can't seem to put an exact finger on the whys and hows but again, maybe .. just maybe it could have alot to do with the enviroment that I'm in. Could it be because there's no outside distractions such as the phone ringing? excessive traffic? screaming kids outside my window that distract me and derail my train of thought? (yes, I know that was a cheesey joke .. you know .. train .. derail .. train off the tracks .. get it? no? you didn't think it was funny? crap!)

Now having said that I always did (or rather, do) have music on but that for some reason doesn't distract me from doing what I am doing. Usually I hum along with a song that I like or even maybe will put it on repeat and get whatever it is that I am writting or throwing ideas about done or down on paper as clearly as possible. The (I guess) weird part too is that I am dead focused on getting what I want done (it's like tunnel vision) but whereas during the day that doesn't quite happen.

The strange part however is that if I do follow the exact pattern from the night time during the day the ideas don't flow as well or at all. Could it be that my mind isn't as alert during the day whereas my mind during the day has to be and that allows my mind to flow freely? It'd be great if I could get some kind of answer to this question.

So I guess my question to you all is this: Am I alone on this? Yes? No? Whatever?
