First a coma and now insomnia...

Ah, i just can't go to sleep
Cause it feels  like insomnia ah ah,
Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah,
Feels like insomnia ah ah...Craig David
So I didn't fall into a coma or even a punctuation point {always want to throw another m in there} and I ended my NYE yesterday, not really but I bet there are some heads nodding somewhere thinking it's true. I actually walked up Montezuma Hill, HfH, at 0045 on 01.01.12 {the rest of the world puts the day first then the month and year so this is the once of the month sameness day}. On a night of 400 images and constant movement I missed my ride up so it was off up the hill. Under an absolutely stunning celestial sky, with no one to impress I took my shirt off and took the sweaty trek. A thoughtful and accompanied trip for the first moments of the first of 366 to come. Yup it's a Leaper if I had been born on the 29th of Feb I would be celebrating my 17th birthday. Of course I'd be doing it with the ass of a 67 year old. Thoughts of walking down and up this fucking hill once a week to try and rectify {unintended honest} that 67yo ass and accompanied by an assortment of wildlife seen or heard. Not barefoot, puffing away I pushed into the NY. Not barefoot because a lot more happens when you don't use a light unless safety issues come at you so you can't see where you are putting your feet all the time. The rule here is, don't put your hands or feet where you can't see 'em. Puffing away because one thing the summer here is teaching me is that I am sixty six and not 16. The other reason is that it was such a beautiful night that I had to stop a couple of times to look at the beauty of it all and take a couple of puffs, winded you think?.
Breaking News: In no surprise the local man who started the new year thinking about doing it as exercise, has only climbed the HfH three times since and all at night...
I have the night sky en toto again since leaving the world of light pollution and it is the only thing bigger than the Road to me. A huge canopy that will only give way to the phase of the moon. Part of my first walk of the new year was playing with the compass application on my phone {my cool new 4S i got right before I left for the summer here and suspended service until I get back and of course they still have been charging me for service that I don't have and I'm in another country waiting for a "service representative" to be right with me eating up a piece of my prepaid card, thank you Verizon} to get a new sense of direction as the last time I got to see it this dark it was a northern sky. So the compass application on my phone {my cool new 4S i got right before I left for the summer here in Central America where the 4S hasn't gotten as far as I have and in Panama where the "service representative" tried for an hour to unlock it, SIM card it and in Costa Rica the dude for ICE looked at it and went "ooh, es bueno Si? Sorry , no have yet."} is pretty neat for those  walks and standing on the beach trying to figure the night sky. It's not all a rum diary life down here, there are thoughtful moments and times.
One of those other thoughtful moments on the walk up that fucking hill on the first AM was how I was going to be more attentive to my thoughts and not be in a punctuation point kind of way and keep it rolling but then AJ came back to MZ from his eve in Jaco and it did become like a rum diary rocking and rolling... 
but that is for another round of thought provoked insomnia:
Transient insomnia is often caused by a temporary situation in a person's life, such as an argument with a loved one, a brief medical illness, or jet lag. When the situation is resolved or the precipitating factor disappears, the condition goes away, usually without medical treatment.
and,
Insomnia (or sleeplessness) is most often defined by an individual's report of sleeping difficulties.[1] While the term is sometimes used in sleep literature to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, insomnia is often defined as a positive response to either of two questions: "Do you experience difficulty sleeping?" or "Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?"[1]
Thus, insomnia is most often thought of as both a sign and a symptom[1][2] that can accompany several sleep, medical, and psychiatric disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor quality. Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. One definition of insomnia is difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, or non restorative sleep, associated with impairments of daytime functioning or marked distress for more than 1 month."[3]
So the opposite must be sleepmoreness right?
And I don't know the tune ah ah so I don't know if his name is Craig David or David Craig but it smells like American Idol.
just sayin...TmyO
