Good morning, insomnia, (-) 

Good morning mastodon. Last night was one of those nights where I don't know if I actually slept or not so I could either be to tired to hate myself or hating myself was caused by me being tired.

I don't like Texas for many reasons but god-damn do they have good chicken
