tired

"A hungry man is an angry man." Bob Marley.

"A tired man is a proper pain in the arse." Me.

When a man is tired and preoccupied with work he is completely disabled. He loses the power of rational response - cannot contribute to nor follow conversation, cannot physically move from the sofa. He becomes Stephen Hawkin, but able only to apply his vast intellect to Sky Sports and MTV Base. When a woman is tired she puts on more make up or goes to bed. Granted, she may get snappy, but that’s just another example of women striving to keep the lines of communication open.

Anyway, I only bring this up because I recently fell foul of a reversion to type on both sides and bugged a guy to come over when he was way too tired and I was a little too hyper. It was an exhausting waste of both our time. Neither of us got the evening we wanted, neither of us got laid, and neither of us got any sleep as the A13 seemed to have been re-routed past my my bedroom window that night. The constant drone of traffic in the rain did nothing to alleviate the mood and he left in the morning. Early.

Twat, he should never have come over.
