Insomniac TV with No "Happy Ending"

Dealing with lengthy bouts of boredom is never easy.  Especially for an old insomniac like me.  Before my current time shift, I'd usually be home between 10pm and midnight. Now, due to dire fatigue (must remember to purchase vitamins) I'm usually out the office door around 8pm for the latest. I'll now lethargically trod on home, hit the shower, hit the bed.  Then I'll sink into that comfort zone of watching a plethora of TV Series deemed both popular or unpopular by the cold electronic hand of the Nielson ratings system.  This some how assists with my gradual slide into dreamland, until I have awaken far later that my now defunct internal clock should have allowed me to.  So yes, between facebook & the late nite TV show addictions, I'm crawling into bed at the ungodly hour of 3am.

...and I find myself now wondering  ...is there an easier solution of dealing with nite time boredom?

Yes there is always sex as an option, but what if your STILL UP after the sex, then what? Got that covered too... and if I'm still up EVEN after seconds or a wrap-up "happy ending", self indulged or with outside assistance.. THEN WHAT?

Did someone not forward me that memo? Am I NOT privy to this TOP SECRET information shared by people the world over who achieve complete mental relaxation and a fulfilling state of zen?  By these mythical people who actually achieve.. "A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP!" 

This reticent flow of information is totally unwarranted. I'm hoping that someone comes to my rescue and soon, there is only so much self inflicted late nite abuse one man can take... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Money Worries

My dad's card is down so he passed & borrowed mine. I had to go pick up s'tin from a client, so I grabbed up a couple dollars and took a maxi. When I was abt to go back to the office I saw a doubles man at the corner.  Realised I only had enough money to buy two. So I bought a few, THEN... Turned to get back into my CAR. ...and then realised that I travelled.... :'(

Great Old Friends

So yuh boy drivin down Waterloo Rd, Arouca, Trinidad, and I'm headin by my moms. So I see a neighbour that I haven't seen in years. Its a long road so I offer her a drop.

ME: "Come take a drop nah?"
WOMAN: "Nah is ok ah could walk."
ME: "But is so long I aint see yuh, come nah." (lady looks around sighs and gets in and I drive off). WOMAN: "Yuh like older women?"
ME: looks at her uncomfortably, "errrr no, why u say dat?"
WOMAN: "I just get dat feeling."
ME: Well de woman seems abt 55. So I buss a side-eye at her, look around and then laugh nervously.
WOMAN: Then asks to me to drop her off after we pass 12 houses and goes into a house that I don't know.
ME... blank stare! ....errrr who de HELL was dat?????

"ah go hang back 2 protect de scn".  I say de man have a gun?  Instead he pulls out a hand made slingshot and shows me a FULL pocket wid bout 45 big stone. eh? LOL!!!

Misunderstanding currency.

So I'm in de front seat of a maxi on de E.M.R. A man emerges from the back of the maxi and reaches to pay.  Apparently, the Driver knows him and gives him a "Bounce" and tells him nah man go ahead. So as the driver pulls off, I lean over and also put my hand out fuh a bounce rite. The driver looks confused. So I reply "Ah paying u in Advance" and I laugh out loudly. Apparently the driver didn't think it was that funny. smh!

Too Smart for your own good.

ME: Ent you used to be wid dat kinky fella who used to horn yuh wid plenty women?
NEIGHBOUR: Yeh but all I ever do was take some nude pics on his bed when I used to be with him. ME: "Blank Stare"

Once upon A Fairy Tale

My 8 yr old daughter is TOTALLY crackin up at a friend's son because he believes Santa is real. So I laugh and tell her, that by now he should know that Santa and the Tooth Fairy is fake, right? She looks at me horrified and says, OMG, The Tooth Fairy ain't real? Then had this totally dejected look. smh...I'm sooooo awful!
