Blogging While Tired: Bad Idea

So…I woke up this morning to find I’d written a new blog post sometime during the night. I have no recollection of writing this post…nor so I remember even turning on my computer.

I think we need to enable a type of software for computers like they’ve designed for drunk drivers to use before getting in a car. You’d have to pass a series of coherency tests before the machine would boot up. Many of my life’s woes would be fixed if I wasn’t allowed near anything that plugged in after, say, 11:oopm.

I remember once in high school I was at a sleep over with a bunch of friends. I found out the next morning that around midnight I had stumbled upstairs from the basement where I was sleeping, grabbed my car keys off the counter and mumbled something like “you guys are all bastards. I’m going home”. Apparently they all followed me outside, where I stumbled around in circles for a few minutes crying, and then fell down on the grass and went to sleep.

So, as you can see, if I can’t even remember where I parked my car after midnight, I should not be allowed near a computer with the capacity to reach hundreds (alright, on my blog I’ll be honest and say 3) readers. Someone want to design my anti-Roby-crazy-post eleven-software? I’ll give you a dollar.

    It might not help with midnight blog appearances, but gmail does have “mail goggles” which you might consider enabling in your settings if you haven’t already. You have to complete basic math questions when you sent emails are certain times of the night to make sure you are really coherent enough to send it.
