avoiding sleep

last night i dreamt the presidency was between bill clinton and justin timberlake. on top of that my room was infested with nasty orange-brown shiny spiders since i rarely clean it. i've been having strange dreams for the last few nights. and tonight i just don't want to. most of my friends decided to go to bed. wow is getting old and i've been watching tv shows all day. i didn't know what to do instead. i made a sick joke about dying in a river and then i realized. that sounds great. no worries. not the dying part. just the river thing. i crossed the street to raintree where there's a bridge to the provo river trail. as i walked down i got to see the yellow glowing light posts reflect across the water. i wish i could make this sound how it looked. some of the water would move faster and some was slower. some waves were big and some where small. after walking for a while, mesmerized by the reflections of the lights, i decided to sit and stare. then i had to touch it - so clear, fresh. i found a good path down and got to the water. it seems like the water on the banks is always nastier. i could see scum and crap. but i found a rock i could jump to towards the middle of the river. when i got my balance i enjoyed letting the water run through my fingers and across my palm. at first it would quickly take the warmth from my hands. but after a bit they were both about the same temperature. i had to let my feet feel it. i tossed my shoes to the side and peeled my socks off. one foot at a time - i doubted i would be able to balance on slippery rocks. after feeling the same, i began to slash some river on my face. after a bit my hair, arms, legs, almost all of me was happily refreshed by this wonderful river.
yay for that. now i have to go to bed. what will happen tonight?
