Long Island Ice Tea


I glance at the car clock as I leave my friend Theo's house. It reads 2:14AM on a Saturday night and my buzz is almost worn off from the three Long Island Ice Tea's I had about 2 hours earlier at The Cheesecake Factory. Although I should be looking forward to diving into the fluff bedsheets and sinking my head into that refreshing cool pillow, I decide to go for an aimless drive instead to enjoy the slight drizzle from the rain so I can listen to those oh so perfect late night aimless drive songs.

So I finally get home at 3:00AM, I realize that I'm not one bit tired. Sitting here alone in my room, only to be accompanied by the occasional rain drizzle, which seemed to have tired out as well, I realize that this occasional habit of insomnia is becoming quiet a frequent dependency. I guess I find it a good way to wind down and just collect my thoughts for the day.

Shit, it's 4:15AM...I better get some sleep before the bright sun rays start diffusing through my blinds.
