Things like reading, watching TV, driving (!), and long meetings are tough because I'm doing little and get exhausted (which is almost certainly why I'm not a "short sleeper") but anything else keeps me from ever feeling tired. | ||

I wish I didn't need so much sleep ORZ pls If i didn't need to sleep I probably never would. That's like 8 hours of my 24 hour day and I already feel like I don't have enough time for shit. Too bad my body needs like 9 hours or it starts killing itself. It's awful | ||

A traditional Japanese haiku is supposed to contain a jxutaposition of two different ideas/images while alluding to nature - including a "kigo" or "season word." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku Even if you go to foreign lenguage haikus, the kigo and kiru aspects are supposed to be somewhat preserved. In fact, it is the 5/7/5 structure that is the least important and the one that is most often discarded, though ironically, it is the (only?) one that is known when people want to feel clever and post "haikus" on the internet.

That it's a short verse form of Japanese poetry? you can have haikus in other languages, and they were quite popular/influential during the imagist period. In fact, the Pound poem "In a Station of the Metro" is much more haiku than any 5-7-5 haiku that get posted on the internet :[ In a Station of the Metro The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough. | ||
