Last night, I found myself laying on the couch reading some useless article on my phone. I looked at the clock on the oven, and it was about 2:00 o'clock in the morning. So what was I reading? An article about the differences between the three different types of daddy long legs.
Daddy long legs.
Apparently, one type is an arachnid (but it's not a spider), one type is a spider, and one is actually a cranefly.
Of course, there was a lot of information about these three different types of daddy long legs, but why on earth was I reading up about it when I should have been sleeping? I have no idea.
I catch myself getting interested in things that don't really matter probably more often than I should. Maybe it's just hard to focus. Maybe it's because things are a lot different than they used to be. Maybe it's because the bear market is making me feel a little bit down.
It could be a lot of different reasons. It's also really cold lately around here... at least for me. I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting time when I'm sleeping even though I really need to sleep. So instead of going to sleep, I end up just looking around on my phone pointlessly.
That's actually a lot more pointless than sleeping, because you don't actually do anything of value when you're doing that. I don't need to know anything about Daddy long legs. I'm never going to go into any business that has anything to do with Daddy long legs.
In fact, I'm probably not even going to remember what I read about the Daddy long legs in a couple of years, so it was all completely pointless. Yet I find myself doing that stuff a lot. I wonder if anybody else is the same way?
