Its 3 AM

Have you ever played around with photo editing programs? W ell, I have, and I do, quite frequently actually. I love manipulating photos and such, but that has nothing to with what this blog is about. It kinda does though.

I want to address the matter of stuff you do at 3 AM.

Usually, you are worn out, have been awake for about 24 hours, everyone else is asleep, and you have been eating all night. That's how it usually goes for me, but not tonight. I have not been eating all night. I am just AWAKE, and I wanted something to do, so I edited a picture and am writing a blog entry [post].

Here's the photo I edited.

I really liked the fact that it was black and white, and that it has a sense of character, even thought the subject is not expressing emotion. Is she frowning or smiling? Tired or old? Or both? This picture gave me something to play around with.

The real difficulty was in smoothing the cheek, but I think I did a fine job.

Anyway, why do people stay up until the crack of dawn? Is it so that they won't "miss out"? Or to beat depression? What about insomnia? I think that there are MANY reasons to stay up late, and many more reasons for those reasons, but all in all I think it is pretty simple.
Here is the final picture.

People, if given the choice, would rather not sleep. I wouldn't sleep, except for the occasional dream.

I'll talk about dreams tomorrow.
