INSOMNIA: not a haiku

Unlike my other insomnia posts, this one, clearly, isn't a haiku. I can't compose a haiku right now. I feel haiku'd out.

It's 3AM. I have to get up in three hours and, yet, the motivation to sleep eludes me. I heart great novels.

Come morning, I'll happily wear those bags under my eyes.

Family Blind Dating sucks - guys perspective.

Received this from my folks today after visiting them while in town for work. And my parents wonder why I don't visit more often.

There's more info about the about the Aunty, Mom, and brother than about the prospective bride.

I've decided to pass on this tempting offer. However, if I had chosed to pursue it, I could have called the brother, gotten the third degree about myself, maybe been invited over for chai, met the mom, gotten the third degree again, then finally, at long last, met and gotten some more info about the girl.

(Names, ages, and other info have been hidden to protect ME.)
