2. Late Night Showers

One of my favorite things in the world is a nice, hot shower. I love nothing more than to just stand under the shower head and let the water wash away all the muck and the grime from the day. I find the shower a great place to stop and think about the things that I'm normally too busy to consider. I've actually come up with some of my best ideas in the shower. It's funny because, compared to most guys, I take a ridiculous amount of time in the shower (almost as much, if not more than, a girl). The thing is, the reason I take so long is because I get lost in my own thoughts and the warmth of the shower. Before I realize it, 10 minutes have passed and I haven't even begun to shower yet!

As amazing as a normal shower is, there is something about a late night shower that is just so much better. I tend to get restless at night, especially during the summer. I usually pass the time by surfing the Internet or watching tv until I'm finally tired enough to go to bed. However, there is a rare night about once a month or so that I get out of the bed and just take a shower. I don't necessarily need to be clean, I just want to clear my head. I actually got out of the shower about 5 minutes before writing this blog entry (I started the shower at about 1:45am). Not only do I feel refreshed, I feel clear-minded and peaceful. I even feel inspired to write something other than this entry!
