Boorish people
inspire me not
always talking
a lot of rot
*
no warmth, no feelings
what can I say?
human nature
need not be this this way

I couldn’t have said it better, myself, url

McG: wonderful, wonderful! You have such a lovely way of expressing things, so very poetical indeed. It is such a soothing balm, very fulfilling for me to get such nice comments from such an erudite, critical-thinking, creative friend as you.
As for the remarks about my early rising, thanks. It made me think a bit about my habits.
No, not an early riser – I hadn’t gone to bed yet. I tend to go through several days of sleeping a lot and then a day or two of not much. In the summer I tend to work more and sleep less.
Another interesting note about sleeping: several years ago I heard on public radio an interview with either a monk or someone that had done a study of night-dwellers.
In it they talked about the monks’ habits of praying/chanting in the wee hours of the morning/night. It seems that at that hour, there was a better, more clear connection with the cosmos. How wonderful! and something that I’ve found to be true re: my own connection with the muse. I don’t necessarily make a point of it or recommend it.
However, I do not either try too hard to resist the calling, if it happens at that hour. I’ve learned to trust myself. I take note of my level of excitement and concentration. If I’m becoming excited, then I may not heed the call, if it will interfere with a period when I really need sleep.
And if I’ve been working for hours on something, then consequences be damned – I will try to finish it before quitting. I may give it a period of gestation to see if I want to email it or post it, as is; change it; or set it aside.

Boorish people do have feelings, they’re just scared to express them.

[rubs chin thoughtfully, as in a trance] Gadzoiks!! So what you’re sayin’ is that they’re too sensitive to be sensitive? !#%$@!

Well, not quite. They’re still Bad People who should be fended off with a barge pole. All I’m saying is that if you dig down – like an ice core to discover climate conditions in the past – you’d find childhood memories and feelings they don’t want to acknowledge, or better behaviours that have been indoctrinated out of them.
You, for example, know yourself and don’t have to be a boor. In other words, there but for random chance go you and I. That said, for all practical purposes, I’d still cross to the other side of the street to avoid the bastards.
On a completely different topic, you must get up at an incredibly early hour, given the time difference.
