Prologue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Your time to shine refers to the time of the day that you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question<\/span>: Early bird, or night owl?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems like an easy question, right? I mean this is where I say, “Not so fast” and proceed to write a long form essay on the benefits of all the times of day, right? Not so fast on that not so fast. Honestly, how much can I be expected to writ about that particular subject? Thankfully, unlike yesterday<\/a>, our “outdoor adventure” was not nearly as adventurous, either. This will be a quick post overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Quinn and I walked with Lilo down to the library. Quinn wanted to check out a book and as has been established, when we have the time, Lilo and I go for a walk. Two birds and all that. Someone posted something on Facebook<\/a> a few weeks ago that I shared. It said, “Adulthood is dumb. Nobody offers to show me a cool rock anymore.” It reminded me of a similar one that said, “Adulthood is dumb. Nobody asks me what my favorite dinosaur is” or something along those lines. When I shared both, I remarked that the person needed to find better friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I talk about cool rocks all the time. I’m not as into dinosaurs, but I will always sit and watch the latest Jurassic whatever with Quinn. Speaking of Quinn, he’s the reason I bring up these two ridiculous Facebook quandaries. During the walk, he asked the following question, “Do you think you can see Dynamax Pokemon from space?” I hope he never loses that curiosity. I know he will. We all do. What I really hope is that, like me, he finds it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Time To Shine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So, early bird or night owl? The answer to this question has, and always will be (I think), a night owl. Working as a teacher forced me to come to grips with the fact that there is a 6 am, too, but I never feel fully human until about 8 o’clock or so. I enjoy the silence of the house after 9 pm when everyone goes to bed. True, it is just as quiet at 5 am before everyone gets up, but I don’t feel like I have that freedom to watch 4 straight episodes of Portlandia or watch Deadpool again for the fifteenth time, as I did the other night with Aiden on the eve of the eve of his first day back to in person learning in over a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in spite of the fact that my alarm goes off every morning during the school year at 5:30 am, I stay up for just one more episode. Forget the fact that I’m actually awake at 4:00 am most mornings and can’t fall back to sleep because I’m worried about how the school day will go. I will still play some Minecraft or Atari 2600. That reminds me. I need to get that video recorded to upload. Maybe at 2 in the morning after I watch some ridiculous documentary about The Dana Carvey Show or Back to the Future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epilogue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday usually represents that day in vacation where I start to notice the passage of time and mourn (ever so slightly) my return to school. Today, that manifested as a shorter walk and more time on the computer to update the main 2 Guys Gaming page and this one. I will say that doesn’t leave much for tonight, so maybe I will actually get a chance to record that video for the YouTube page. After all, late at night is my time. What about you? What’s your time to shine?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
