Lunch Hour Thoughts

 I have essentially stopped taking a lunch hour. Having the autonomy in my job to be able to make this choice and a) come in later b) work through lunch and c) still have a couple of moments where I smoke cigarettes decompress for ten minutes is amazing.

 Plus, I've been intermittently fasting (it's all the rage) since apparently the way I operate is as follows: if I'm forced to make a lunch choice, I'm better at choosing to forego lunch than I am opting for the healthy nutrition. I eat plenty at dinner, so don't worry, kthanx.

 Requests

 I understand that I have a readership of like zero because of that one time I went on blogging hiatus for a decade, which happened about a decade ago, but just thought I'd ask:

 Anyone have good sleep deprivation stories? I'm doing research on the mental, emotional and physical reactions that occur in ones mind and body when a human being hasn't slept (much or at all) for numerous, consecutive days. Share your stories here or email me at ambertiddmurphy@gmail.com.

 Formerly a fan of sad songs (saaaay so much, remember THAT song?!) I have found myself recently enjoying the good old fashioned love song. I don't anticipate this glow of love being removed from my heart, so I'm hoping the the kleenex I'll need hence forth are of the "happysad" or the mopping-up sexual variety only. You're welcome. 

 Here are a few favorite lovey-dovey lyrics:
Uno: "I was so scared to face my fears. Nobody told me you'd be here." (Adele, When we were Young)

Dos: "Don't you understand/ I already have a plan/ I'm waiting for my real life to begin" (Colin Hay, lyric contains the title)

 Tres: "...No one else has ever shown me how/ to see the world the way I see it now..." (Shawn Colvin, Never Saw Blue Like That)

 Quatro: "If you knew how much this moment means to me/ And how long I've waited for your touch/ If you knew how happy you are making me/ I never thought that I'd love anyone so much" (Feels Like Home, Chantal Kreviazuk)

 Cinco: "You take the breath out of my lungs/ Can't even fight it/ And all of the words out of my mouth without even trying/ And I'm speechless" (Speechless, Dan + Shay)

 Seis: "I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you/ That every long lost dream lead me to where you are/ Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars" (Bless the Broken Road, Rascal Flatts

 In closing - this is a bonus section NOT referenced in the title. Again, you're welcome:

 In closing I'm in love, and all these wonderful lines of love songs barely scratch the little surface of my scarred heart, which now feels very healthy and whole. So much so that I don't even care if you write me back about the sleep deprivation thoughts, nor do I mind if anyone at all even reads this.

Closing Arguments, Trial 3. The Defense: Closing the Case of Adnan Syed v Alice LaCour and Brett Talley

  Would Hae Have Liked Pineapple on Pizza? If it Pleases the Court... Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It is no small task to put your lives on hold and focus in on the details and particulars and specifics of this case, and it may be a struggle to focus when you have to think about what you're missing at home. Your civil duty - and your willingness to fulfill it - does NOT go unnoticed. I mentioned "time." It's a relative, term, right? I had to wait in line at the post office for 15 minutes. I waited for the checkout gal at Wal-Mart for 20, because they didn't have enough lanes open. I don't know about you, but I try to be patient. Sometimes I fail to wait gracefully, but I really do try.  So. Look at Adnan. For over TWENTY-THREE YEARS he has been waiting... patiently. 23 years ago, I was about the same age as Adnan. I graduated high school in the spring of 1999, just like he did - or would have - had he not bee

20 Points in a Basic Story in the Botched Case Against Adnan Syed: I Must Be Insane as that's 5x More than any Other Basic Story Presentation I've Ever Seen

  Basic Story With 20 Points:  Could Adnan be Innocent? "It's not a cop-out; it's case law." ~Bob Ruff, host, Truth and Justice Pod   1 Adnan was the main suspect - Hae's family passed that along to Officer Adcock on the afternoon she disappeared. Originally, they suspected she might be with Don, even though she had to work at 6pm and had never once NOT brought her cousin home. Does anyone know how old the second cousin is? Two cousins lived with Hae. And Officer Adcock's Supplemental Report dated 1/13/99 states that Mr. Lee advises that she "did not pick up his two cousins from school.") Did they go to the same school, these cousins? Another question that could be explored is why Hae's uncle is the only immediately family member who doesn't live with Hae.  Another pain point for me - I'm confused as to why the cousins did not live with their dad, Hae's uncle... but look. Every family has different dynamics. I mean, I gues

Not The Nisha Call: Other Things to Consider in the Case of Adnan Syed

"If there is anything about my case, man - I want to know... I want to test it... There's nothing about my case that that I'm afraid of." - Adnan Syed Serial, Episode 12: What We Knew Instead of focusing on a flower and Jay's Changing Stories, Consider This: A) The policemen handling the Missing Persons Investigation did sloppy and lazy work. They back dated reports and failed to interview multiple people  thoroughly enough. B) The police did not interview the family robustly enough to understand what else might have been going on in Hae's life. They, to my knowledge, did not find a translator and instead relied on the guidance of her younger brother. C) A computer, a floppy disk containing electronic diary entries were noted and later went "missing"  D) Hae's email and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts were never researched thoroughly, and her online activity is relatively unknown, outside of her newly updated "away message" which s
