keeping time, ryan adams, and high fidelity

Have you ever kept time on your bed?  I guess that sounds pretty weird and sexual – not my intension. I was just lying in bed listening to whiney music attempting to go to sleep and distracted myself by tapping the beat on the mattress.  People definitely do this, right? Rob Gordon in High Fidelity definitely kept time on his bed. His bed, his head, with his fingers while his thumbs hook into the belt loops of his black skinny jeans…

The idea of laying awake listening to music unable to sleep isn’t a novelty.  Although there was something interesting about the hollow sound the mattress made that made me take note.  Heck! It made me sit up and turn on my compute. Perhaps I am being too reflective and making every casual observance have some significance I can ponder over. (I am into that sort of thing. You could even say I get off on it.)  Perhaps the hollow sound speaks the hollow crevasses of my callus heart.  I am such a B! Or maybe what A said to me the other day about not having people in his life stuck with me.  Do I not really have people in my ‘life’? I have people around me but who do  I share my life with?? Is my existence hollow in that way?  Ehhhh whatever. I hate that crap.  No more sharing. Jokes?
