Luis: yea today i didn't wake up and reach for my laptop either!

me: nice!

Luis: i ironed a shirt and said my long obligatory prayer and had breakfast
then checked facebook

me: cool

me: when i get on my computer as the first thing i do...i don't feel spiritual. it's weird. but i automatically put up some sort of barrier that blocks my mind from reflecting on more...proper things in the moment i reorient myself to...existence

Luis: i know! it's weird the first thing you do when you wake up is like the opening sentence of an essay if you mess that up, you've lost the reader's attention or at least it defines how you lead the rest of the day, in a way

me: yeah! that's so true. i'm tired of not waking up and being excited to be alive. not feeling that sense of "ok, i'm here, let's see what i need to do". by immediately getting on the computer i already pull myself into a sort of time vortex where my reality is virtual.

Luis: yea! crazy
