Early To Bed Far Too Early To Rise

So what do you get when you go to bed too early?  You get the joy of waking up in the middle of the night long before your alarm even thinks about waking you up.  The only good thing about being awake when the rest of the world is mostly fast asleep is the absolute silence.  Everything is so still and quiet save for the distant rumbling of a garbage truck making its rounds somewhere down the street.

 I don't mind so much being awake. It's moments like these when I find my head clear and free of the business of the day.  Thoughts come and go without form or reason, free to be as they are with neither pomp or circumstance to get in the way.  I am a night thinker and a day dreamer...
