Chill Amusing, Annoying, Clowns

I don’t care about how much I sleep, when I sleep, tracking my sleep, doing anything else about sleep than I already do, having a sleep schedule or even really giving much of a crap about sleep.

I just do not care. It’s mostly irrelevant to how I live my life. Why are people so obsessed with this? Sleep when you need to, don’t when you don’t. Simple.

Taste This

Chill Annoying, Music

I don’t think I have good taste in music, but just like what the fuck I like and don’t give a flying fuck who knows it.

That radio station that’s showing the tracks in the sidebar? That’s the music I actually listen to. It’s not curated (for the station). It’s just whatever semi-randomly1 pulls from the 11,000+ tracks I have in my main music directory. I don’t edit or block or even pick anything.

Simple as that. Woo-Hah!
