   I find myself once again, unable to sleep. It's a scenario I grow tiresome off, if you'll excuse the pun. I don't get it, I'm tired, I want to sleep, but it's something I can't seem to accomplish. I lie there, eyes closed, comfortable, ready to drop off, yet I can't. The few times this has been mentioned to someone I am told that there is something heavy on my mind, buried within my subconcious. I said I didn't think so because there isn't anything worrying me, or bothering me, or anything in particular that I think about, or don't think about for that matter.
   The more I thought about it, the more I realised I was right. There was/is nothing on my mind, well, except when I was trying to think deeply about what was on my mind. But I couldn't think of anything thus meaning, it doesn't exist. Normally when my sleep is affected I just change the times in which I'm awake or sleeping. As in, I'll be awake all night, and sleep during the day or the normal vice versa. Now though, I'm awake all night, getting to sleep for a hour or two and am back awake before 10am. It's funny how long the day seems when you're not sleeping a third of it away.
   So here I am, playing COD4 again, growing ever more tired of the game and the genre. Eagerly awaiting the release of Splinter Cell. A conclusion to the story I'd love to be able to play through right now. I could just go for a new stealth title. New in the sense that I haven't played it before and don't know what's happening. Something fresh, story-wise. As for the game play, hell, Splinter Cell has it down to a tee already, or did... going the way of Assassin's Creed could be good, could be bad, either way, loooookin' forward to it.
   I'm not a big fan of Command and Conquer 3 for the 360. I tried the demo when it came out and couldn't get to grips with it, so I never bothered with it. I like the cursor-pc way, the way the Red Alety played on the PSX/PS1. Anyways, I am still a fan of Red Alert 2 and Generals, but I can't seem to get Red Alert 2 to work on LAN. I looked it up, found a solution, tried it, but the IPX lan didn't work for me, so I fiddled with some settings, and a few more and at some point or another messed up my internet connection. After restoring the settings to a previous date I restarted the PC, only to get a CPU overheating message. I've had it about three times now, all recently, and usually just turn it off and let it cool down. This time I didn't though, so there I am, 1am, opening up my PC, taking wires out and cleaning inside things, the dust was crazy, and I'd love to know how so much got into it, but after about 45 minutes I'd made an acceptable job of it and set on putting the few things I took apart, together again.
   It didn't take all that long, though it seems my download speeds have reduced dramaticaly since I've started it back up. I'm not sure why, nor what caused it, but I'm barely getting 30kb/s on a webpage download, which is ridiculously slow... It only seems to be affecting my PC though, I also had to roll back my laptop (because I did the same thing as I did to my PC) but that's working fine, and Xbox Live is running appropriately, so why this is acting up I've no idea. I might have to re-install windows again.
   I'm still hooked on Oblivion, been playing it about 45hours or so and still finding new things to do. At first I was a little confused by how the magicka thang worked, but it would appear it's all relatively simple if you actually take the time to read what it tells you. I love the Assassination missions, and the Thief missions, the former I've completed all tacks and am pretty much the head of the organisation, and the Thieves guild I think I have one or two missions left to get through. I'm also Grand Champion warrior and a slaughterer of innocent people in the dead of the night (personal achievement).
   I've been examining HTML code in preperation for the big overhaul to my intro page. It's interesting to look at and see what does what, what goes where, how this piece of text affects this, this and this, and so on and so fourth. So I looked through, made changes and see what happened, made notes on the document for future reference and was set to start on a magical transformation, then I realised... I really couldn't be bothered to do so... so I l'm leaving it alone, somethings are definitely better left untouched. I shall leave webpage design to the experts... Sounds like a plan.
   And speaking of leaving, I shall disappear for the night, play some Oblivion and pass the time. So to you, dear reader, have a good night and a pleasant tomorrow, sleep well.. 'cause I can't :|

personally, if your having trouble sleeping it's most likley something that's bothering you outright, but you're ignoring it or pretendig it's not bothering you. eitherway, it's a simple matter of excercise once you've cut out any other issue like caffein, drugs or alcohol. and i mean caffein in something as simple as coffee, tea or soda. if you're like my husband you probably drink a ton of tea and then wonder why you can't sleep because just yesterday you had 10 cups and slept like a baby. go fig. whether or not this is the case the first step when you're having such a big problem is activity. LOTS of it. if you can run 5 miles in one day and STILL have trouble sleeping then run 10 about an hr before bedtime. be consistent each day closing your eyes around the same time and keeping them closed no matter what. as your resting and relaxing make it a point to be aware of the position of your body. your arms, shoulders and legs as they should be placed evenly on your bed. feel each spot on your skin, including the heels of your feet, on your mattress. be aware of each muscle in your body and relax them all starting with the muscles in your face. do each one by one, including your tongue and jaw working all the way down to your toes. if you missed a spot go back and start all over again. search your mind for a peacfull thought. just one and concentrate on that one thing the entire time. your mind will wander, let it, but bring it back carefully, so as not to tense your body, to that one special thing. (let it be the inside of a vagina if you have to. trust me it works LOL) once your sure your muscles are all relaxed (don't forget your butt) keep focused on your thought. you can change it if you need to, i do it all the time. do this EVERY SINGLE NIGHT and eventually you will have trained yourself to fall asleep no matter what within 10 to 15 min. i promise you it does work and you CAN do it. it takes patience, determination, sheer will and lots and lots of training. be consistent, good luck and happy dreams my dear!

So you drink coffee or soda? THat is known to affect sleep... Also, I haven't been able to sleep much all week. I say it had something to do with the moon the other night. Hope you get some rest soon!

Other than the control scheme being a little fickle at times for C&C3, it's as good as the PC version. As for the sleeping, try searching for tips online on how to get to sleep easier.
