Well doesn't this just suck ass?

I'm so tired today, i got little to no sleep last night. I spent most of the night tossing & turning, my body exhaused but my mind was totally awake and alert. I lied in bed, a million thoughts going thru my head, pondering some of the most inane or pointless shit. Actually some thoughts were helpful or ok, like the lists i was making in my head of things to do at work, bills to pay, ways to save money, etc. But it would've been better to have those thoughts at any other time than when i was praying for sleep. After my brain got bored thinking about semi-important shit it started in on the totally pointless thoughts; "who was outside the Creepy Crawl in St. Louis when we pulled up on the first day of tour?", "is the Creepy Crawl in St. Louis or Kansas?", "did we get paid by that promoter who burned us, but the booking agent stepped in"...and then my mind drifted even further into the past; "what were my favorite bands in 1992?", "what was the address of that first apartment i had in Edmonton, the one off Jasper Ave", etc. etc. Finally, just when i thought my mind couldn't throw any more stupid thoughts my way i suddenly pictured an angry Hippopatumus and thought about what it would look like charging at me. Fuckin' hell! The only time my brain stopped was when my street and neighborhood was suddenly alive with police cruisers racing around, lights and siren on full throttle.
After hours of tossing & turning, i fell asleep but then woke up 1hour before my alarm went off....FUCK! To make matters worse my whole body ached. I mean, seriously, every single muscle, joint and bone was in pain. I couldn't move my neck, my left arm felt like dead weight, etc. Oh yeah, i could tell this was going to be a steller day.
In order to make the day better i stopped in at HMV and bought myself some treats; Beverly Hills 90210 Season 1 Box Set, and KISS-Kissology DVD (live shit from 1974-1977). This helped my mood a little, as did the million litres of coffee i've drank since 8AM.
The work day is almost done, and then it's a 40minute walk home. Once i get home, it's straight to the couch to watch my DVD's. Actually i might talk to my roomate first, he's been gone for over a month.
Take me away......
