Perpetually Tired

~ Gottfried

I’m like 104% tired. Being tired has become part of my dazzling personality. I am not an early bird or a night owl. I am some form of permanently exhausted pigeon. On Mercury a day lasts 1408 hours. Just like every Monday does on Earth. My day starts backwards. I wake up tired and go to bed wide awake.

I’m retired. I was tired yesterday, and I’m tired again today. There are so many times I made you angry, upset, irritated and tired. Today I’m thinking of continuing. I’m tired of typing ‘Lol’ at the end of my texts to sensitive people. I said what I said, deal with it. I’m also tired of being the funniest person in the room. One of you needs to step up.

Being an adult is pretty easy. You just feel tired all the time and tell people how tired you are and they tell you how tired they are. What’s my dream job? Well, in my dreams, I don’t work. You never get tired unless you stop and take time for it. The secret to not getting tired is refusing to stop. Die on the line.

My four moods; I’m too old to do that. I’m too tired for any of that. I’m too sober to be doing any of that. I don’t have time to be doing that. You can tell how many kids a parents has by counting the bags under their eyes. I love that point where you are so tired that everything is funny. You enter your Joker arc.

I’m still tired from yesterday’s tired. Today isn’t looking so good, and I’ve already used up tomorrow’s tired. I finally got 8 hours of sleep. It took me four days, but whatever. I get tired from just thinking of everything I have to do. Today will be one of those days even my coffee will need a coffee.

There is something happening everyday but I’m too tired and lazy to write it all down. Can’t decide if I need a hug, an XL coffee, 6 shots of vodka or two weeks of sleep. I hate that moment when you’re tired and sleepy but as soon at you go to bed, your body is like..just kidding.

This whole working for a living goes on for how long?

  1. “What will become of the restless kind
    Where do they go when they’ve done their time
    Wearing their hearts out on the line for all to see
    Must be the gypsy in their soul
    They have a need to rock and roll
    They always will, they’re out there still
    They’re the night owls”

      1. Yes, that’s right. I’m soon 44 years old already… It reminds me of a Finnish insurance commercial: “Life happens suddenly.” It’s completely true! Like it went by in the blink of an eye…
