Bright and persistent, it's purpose to serve endless hours to an operator who also was an extension of another purposeful entity. I could feel time literally slipping out from my ears and dancing upon my brow like a will-o-wisp free of it's vassalage. It also grew weary of it's physical detention, and longed for freedom, yet it had no choice but to return to it's chambers. And just like that it slipped away, and without missing a beat, the hour passed. 2 AM.
All the while during this amusing performance I was, with great disinterest, skimming through various blogs and news sources, attempting to somehow enlighten myself with the ongoings of the outside world. Though today's news, I could simply refresh my browser and a new ascension of data would swarm the screen exclaiming urgent breaking news. Give it a minute, it changes again, possibly even discrediting what you just read a moment ago. At times I almost felt a sense of dread when I opened my internet browser, with it's limitless possibilities and infinite amounts of user created content within the realms of intelligence and/or lack thereof.
