Selling the Ice Rings
Sometimes when I’m half asleep I speak in tongues. Does this ever happen to you? They call it “somniloquy“. With me it often happens when I’m on the verge of passing out after a night of drinking with my brother, and he always tries to maximize the experience by egging me on. One night he transcribed our conversation. I offer that transcript here for your entertainment:
Mattdude: Shit is fucked up is what it is… selling the ice rings.
Voidious: What’s fucked up about selling the ice rings?
Mattdude: You don’t have to spend anything.
Voidious: Why would I care about spending anything?
Mattdude: ‘Cuz… it’s expenditures yo.
Voidious: So what you’re saying is that I need to buy some ice rings.
Mattdude: No… I’m just saying that…
Voidious: That what?
Mattdude: That Google needs to fucking kiss my ass.
Voidious: Why do you say that?
Mattdude: Dude, don’t toy with me dude… Do not be toying with me yo. I can tell, yo, when I’m being toyed with yo.
Voidious: Dude I thought we were talking about ice rings.
Mattdude: Dude, I got my special no-fuck-with-me glasses on dude. I think there’s something Rachel wants to say to me yo.
Voidious: Well, I dunno dude.
On another occasion he recorded a video of my half-conscious ramblings, but I’ll save that for a future post.

My friends all would make fun of me for the same thing. It’s like your half dreaming and talking at the same time. That’s usually about the time they go home.

Lol, Tom. Glad to see I’m not alone. :) Yeah, it’s a weird state. Another thing I frequently experience is being unable to comprehend my digital clock-radio when I’m just waking up in the morning. I can see the numbers, but they don’t make sense. Maybe we need to get more sleep. (:
