This is not going to be a long post. I have had two long days back-to-back. Now, I am tired at a very early hour.
If I could stay awake long enough to write a sequel to any play, which I can’t, it would be a sequel to Eugene O’Neill’s A Long Day’s Journey into Night. Rather than add a “2” or an “II” to the end, like a lot of movies, I would put it at the beginning.
My play would be called Two Long Days’ Journeys into Night. I am so tired. I hope that I will never do this again.
That phrase reminds me of part of a comedy bit from the late 80’s or early 90’s. It was called “Drinker’s Remorse” and the comedian talked about the stages of drinking, the pain of a hangover, and ended the routine with the drinker’s pledge.
Since I can’t remember which comedian did it or even the name of the show it was on, I am not able to give proper credit to the author. So, I will paraphrase it to hopefully blur it enough that no one will come after me for copyright infringement.
The Insomniac’s Pledge: I am never going to stay up all night ever again, or at least until I don’t remember how sleepy I feel right now.
