Insomnia

I think insomnia is quite common.

The strangest thoughts pop into your head when you lay there at 3am and can't get back to sleep.  I for one ruminate about work, things I need to do, and random/bizarre and utterly disturbing thoughts.  For example, if I were a serial killer, what kind would I be?  Is that strange?


The strangest TV shows are also on at this time and it makes me think, who in the world is up at this hour watching this???  There is so much crap out there and it makes me think of how commercialism and consumerism has really warped our minds.  Who really needs a Shamwa, or the outdoor window polisher, or another ab crunch?  Then there is the SkyMall catalog.....so much more crap in there!!!  Now, to be honest, I've purchased quite a few products from SkyMall and via TV infomercials....let's see, here are a few things:

• A flat iron full of cool minerals pushed by Carmen Electra....can't tell you if I even see a difference
  
• a memory foam pillow top....loved this for many years
• a pet frontpack to carry my cat around......never used it even once
• a pet vac (supposedly quiet so it wouldn't scare pets)......didn't work...loud as anything
• bra clips so that I can wear tanks without my straps revealing
• cleavage covers so that my boobs don't hang out in the front when wearing low cut tops

And on and on, but in the end they've been loads of crap!  Do we truly need half the crap that we buy in general? 

Whomever came up with the idea of late night infomercials is genius though.....I wonder if they themselves came up with the idea during one of their bouts of insomnia.....

Oh, then there are the bizarre TV shows.....I watched one about rodents and bugs that end up in our food supply and how the FDA actually has guidelines with allowable amounts of rodent and/or bug parts/byproducts per volume of commercially produced food.....can you believe that????  What in the world????  If the FDA (our own government) allows these things to happen what else do they allow that we don't even know about????


Geesh....now I understand the push for eating fresh, raw goods right off the vine or even freshly squeezed milk, or basically fresh anything that hasn't touched a conveyor belt or is being mass produced!
