The Life of Bon: 2 a.m.

2 a.m.


WARNING:  Post and pic have no relation.
But  wouldn't you just LOVE to know what this picture is all about?
Sometimes I wonder.

Blogger's got this nifty little thingamidget that allows you to check how many people are reading your blog.  It tracks which web site they are coming from (most of mine come via good ole facebook) and which posts are the most popular:  (Gyno post:  Popular.  Bon Bon Sexy Pants the Musical: Not Popular).  You can even see hour by hour how many people are on the blog.  Bet you never even imagined how advanced our technology has gotten these days, did you?

Here's something interesting.

Last night from the hour of 2-3 am I had seven people look at my blog.  Seven.  Right smack in the middle of the night.  Whoddathunk?  Naturally, I started to wonder.  Who are these seven people reading my daily musings while I am far away in dreamland running away from Zombie Hubs and teaching school in igloos (Come on, like your dreams are any more normal)  Why, out of all the things these people could be doing at 2 am, are they checking my blog?

Are they awake at 2 am on a Wednesday morning because they are newlyweds and got in a fight with their spouse and have been so stressed/anxious/upset that they are unable to sleep?  Or are these people single and carefree, not worrying about bedtimes and early mornings... just staying out all night with friends and going to sleep whenever the urge strikes them.  Or is it a mother up with her nursing/crying/colicky baby in the night, begging that fussy baby to shut it so she can get some shut eye?

Maybe it's someone from a country far far away where the hours are opposite...someone in India, and it's not 2 am at all, but rather 2 pm, a perfectly normal time to be browsing the web.  Maybe it is someone who suffers from insomnia.  Or someone who is cramming their brains out for a huge test in the morning and needs a minute of mindless reading?  Maybe a member of the mafia, right before he goes to do a big hit?  Maybe someone who works the swing shift at 7-11?  Maybe someone doing a dare to stay up 48 straight hours?  Maybe an old grandmother who stays up all night and sleeps all day.  Maybe someone clinically insane?!??!!?!?

Yes.  Sometimes I wonder about you, my devoted 2 am readers.

  1. I'm at least one of the visits; I don't know if I had to refresh the page or not.

    I'm single and carefree. I actually intended to go to bed last night at a reasonable hour, but I was buying music and updating my iPod, which can take hours, apparently.

  4. haha i would be skeptical of those 2am visitors too, or maybe they have insomnia and blogging is the way they relax and go back to sleep. or maybe they were drifting off and then realized they didn't enter your giveaway and they shot out of bed to do that before the giveaway closed :-)
