Some of you know me better than others.  
– Some of you are my closest friends and family.
– Some of you have known me for years; and others for a short time.
– Still; others of you only know me by what you read.  

So, to each of you let me take a moment to reveal something about myself.

If there is one thing I am most proud of in my life — one trait that I am want most to be known for — it’s that I am unpretentious. I am genuine.  
WYSIWIR: What you see is what is real.

Good and bad, wise and foolish, admirable and immature.  It’s all here.

There is nothing that I am willfully deceptive about; nothing fake about me.  

There are far more valuable attributes I admire in you and others that I know, but based on my past and my desire to become who I am meant to be, unpretentious is a perfect benchmark for me.

So with that in mind, I am not lying.

I am not faking this; I had a dream last night.

For some of you that would be no big deal.  You dream every night.
For others, “Hmm, I thought he barely slept; much less dream.”

Sleep

I know it’s one of my flaws, but I don’t like to sleep.
I haven’t liked sleeping since I was little.
I know I’m wrong, I know that it’s absurd to think you don’t need sleep, but I don’t like to sleep.

I know that my poor sleep habit is one of the reasons I get sick with “a cold” more than many people do.
Intellectually I know it depletes my resources, saps my reserves, and reduces my creativity, but when I’m doing something — and I’m usually doing something — I don’t want to stop to “get some sleep.”

I’m like a little kid who is having so much fun playing that I don’t want to come in for food, or even the bathroom, because I am having so much fun doing what I’m doing.

So, I don’t sleep well. I don’t like to sleep. I almost never am aware of a dream.  I only remember being aware of a dream a few times a year; and it’s even more seldom that I ever remembers a single detail of those dreams.

That said, I had a dream last night I can’t wait to tell you about.
But, it will have to wait until tomorrow.
