the message

you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button.

that's the death message.

i've had it 3 times now.

i'm a bit afraid.

but the message isn't supposed to create fear. it's supposed to simply heighten awareness. there's no system failure but failure to connect a few dots here and there.

the message is not doom nor damnation. the message is a careful cautionary sign.

and if i'm not careful, i'll allow my grand levels of fatigue to keep me here, keep me rambling on in unnecessary attempts at smart prose.

so goodnight. deep thoughts come with sleep not the lack thereof.
