My Weekly Rant !!

April 20th '98

Isn't bloody insomnia a pain, honestly it keeps me up all night worrying about it. Anyway I've been lying awake again thinking deeply and all the deep things that I managed including a song and a poem about how much I don't like coffee and an interesting thought about Shakespeare, which is what I'm going to bring to you today !! Ain't you lucky ??
Well the thing is, Shakespeare once said "All the world is a stage and we are but players". Or something like that. Now this has been the cause of many discussions and exam questions, but have you ever given it a lot of thought ?? As I said, I spent hours ( about 10 minutes ) thinking deeply about this and I have managed to find some problems with it.
Firstly, is the world is a stage, where does the audience sit ? I've looked and I can't see 'em.
B. Does that mean that an aethiest doesn't believe in a 'Director' ?
Third and final, where's all the georgeous co-stars ?? Tom Cruise has starred with the likes of Rene Zelwegger, Jim Carrey with Cameron Diaz and John Goodman with .... um .... well .... Rosanne ... ahh err .... well what about Jim Carrey eh ?? Where's my co-star ?? Where's my contract ?? Can I quit and go work for the Royal Shakespeare Company ??
Point 4- who's the script writer ?? I wanna word with them ( see point 3 ).
Furthermore, DO we really have a conscience or are the voices we hear hecklers shouting out because it is obvious what should happen ? Or are the voices the prompters as it's obvious we've forgotten our lines and what to do !!
Who's in charge of the props ?
Does the audience see EVERYTHING that happens ?? Even the toilet ?

Well that's what I think anyway. However the thing is, I STILL get insomnia !! It just isn't fair. What's the point of being on vacation if you sleep in 'till 12pm as you didn't get to sleep 'till 2am. Hmmm so this leads to the numerous ways to get to sleep as offered by other people:

1. Count Sheep
2. Drink A Glass of Warm Milk
3. Think Happy Thoughts
4. Don't Think of Anything
