the world is a completely different place at night (trust me, I used to be in a band). It has it's own inhabitants, it's own rules and it's own little norms.

Night people are very tolerant of other night people, but appear to want to be left alone by day people.

Day people can be very judgemental of night people I think.

At night, people are a lot freer to be who they are, whether it's just sitting on a park bench and singing, digging through piles of stuff in a clearance bin, or sitting at the waffle house alone and morose.

The oddest time of the day for me was always between 4 and 5 am. That's usually when we were finished loading out and trying to get something to eat.

It was right at this time when you would see the two worlds begin to mix. There are very few places open at that hour and run-ins would be inevitable. Denny's is the worst for this.

Work trucks began to dot the parking lot.
You could just feel the resentment on the part of the night people as the early morning workers, deliveries and papers began to arrive.
Their time was ending and it was back "underground" for them, at least for that day.

Being in a band, we never really fit in with the night people, but they would tolerate how loud, obnoxious and just stupid we actually were. We must have seemed very very glaring in their dark world. On the other hand, musicians don't seem to fit in anywhere I guess.

Seldom

Just my thoughts, hope you get to sleep soon.
