Ignorance Is Bliss & So Is Animal Planet At 7am

I have found that there are alternative ways to wake up in the morning. i don't need an alarm clock, i don't need the smell of coffee to lull me from my dreams or the voices of free beer & hot wings @ 5.30 in the morning. i don't need sweet kisses from my boyfriend or my dog (depending on my geographic location).

All i need is Animal Planet at 7 am. the quiet videos of other people starting their days. the sunrise over small ports, over coastal cities. i just need images of a kayak moving slowly through the ocean drowned in the morning light. i just need to watch small fishing ships load up their vessels with crab traps and hear the hum of engines and the songs of the sea gulls overhead. at that hour you don't want to think about crises around the world via CNN, hear the voice of a used car salesman during commercial breaks, or try to muddle through the drama of Law & Order, or the laughs of Kelly Rippa at such an early and volatile hour.

i want to wake up and believe that all is well in the world, that everyone rested as well as i. i need beautiful scenic imagery of the ocean moving in soft, rhythmatic patterns. i need the photo of an empty path through a winding forest. i need something peaceful that quiets me inside as well as out. that inspires me to open the curtains wide. to walk out the front door to an unpredictable world.
