You want to accomplish something, you’re gonna be tired! What are you going to do? Life’s for work! Life is not for sitting on your ass doing nothing.

This fuckin guy. I have never met this man, and yet I have been haunted by his voice for decades. I am tired all the time and instead of making me a powerhouse, it makes me worse at things. Like the sleepy guy says: "You get very fuzzy, you know, very dislocated."

Just thinking today about restarting the process of getting a sleep study paid for by insurance. Not that I need one to diagnose having a bored dog who doesn't get enough exercise when it's snowing or there's freezing rain.

I resonate with The Sleepy Guy. I can sleep almost anytime anywhere. Except I can't join him in that floor sleeping. Too hard to get down and impossible to get up off the floor. Let me just rest my eyes nowzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
