Bon Jovi Greatest Hits

I'm so tired I dream about sleeping

I’m so tired, it’s like I haven’t slept in four years. Actually, it’s not like that; it is that.

Partly, I blame high-definition cable, with its ample late-night selection of food shows and softcore pornography masquerading as historical drama, sci-fi fantasy and/or vampire chronicles. Funny what serves as a vehicle for removing clothes on film these days.

I also fault Tillamook Mudslide, such an outstanding ice cream flavor I can’t help but lie awake on the couch for hours basking in the fudgey after-glow.

But mostly, it’s my kids who’ve robbed me of sleep (and with it my youthful vigor, although Tillamook Mudslide bears some responsibility, too). By the time we fought through the night feedings of my daughter’s infancy, night terrors of her toddlerhood and bed-wettings of toilet training, we were starting all over again with our son, who, awesomely enough, inherited my wife’s light sleeping genes (whereas I can, and have, slept through live gunfire; we used to live in Brooklyn and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley).

Point is, regardless the culprit, I’m tired. How tired am I?

I’m so tired I’ll fall asleep any time I sit quietly for more than a few minuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Whoa, sorry. Dozed off for a second. I probably shouldn’t listen to Enya while I write. I’ll just put on some Metallica, here ... Oh, yeah, much better.

Now, where was I?

Ah, yes. I’m so tired the bags under my eyes have bags under their eyes. But the bags under those bags sprung for Botox, so they’re well masked.

So what if that doesn’t make sense. I’m so tired I don’t even want to argue ... actually, no, that’s not true. I’m from Long Island — I ’m always up for arguing, preferably to Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits Vols. 1 and 2. (For those who need clarification: Billy Joel is to Long Island what Jon Bon Jovi is to New Jersey, only New Jersey also has Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Tony Soprano — both the character and the actor — and Queen Latifah; Long Island’s got the Baldwin Brothers, the guy from Twisted Sister and Jerry Seinfeld, and that’s about it — oh, also Eddie Murphy, but what has he done lately?)

I’m so tired I dream about sleeping. Not that it’s unusual for my dreams to take place in a darkened bedroom, laying prone, eyes closed in absolute bliss — only now I’m unconscious, wearing PJs, and Natalie Portman isn’t there. (Again, some clarification: every guy my age from Long Island — especially every Jewish guy — has a thing for Natalie Portman).
