Waking up at 6 am

Waking up at six am is actually kind of fun. Before most of the other people are even considering getting up on a Saturday, you rebel against logic and your body's clock to venture out of the house to take on adventures that can only be undertaken at wee hours of the morning.

The strange thing is, us in our teens and mid/early twenties seem to take a lot of pleasure in sleeping far past the morn and into the noon. Yet, older people, my parents and grandparents included, seem to relish in waking up early to make the most of the day.

I think the new generation has a new outlook. Getting the most out of the night seems to be the new black. Instead of toiling away in the hot sun of the mid-day, we scamper about in the night, where it is cool and sometimes moist. The night is ours, and I love it.

Once upon a time, everything that you needed to do was in the morning/afternoon. Being at the bank bright and early was essential as the hours are silly and best. Now with the internet, our shopping, banking, and even social interaction can be done on a 24 hour basis. Why should we wake up before the rising of the sun to partake in the extremely hot and long hours of the day? In the days before electricity we needed to do everything by daylight.

My suggestions for all of you youth sick of working in the hot sun. Rebel against the proletariate of the non nocturnals, and let's work on a generation that begins after 10 am.
