    My mother has said of my brother and I since we were born. “He isn’t satisfied burning the candle at both ends, he also takes a blowtorch to the middle.”

    My brother and I still sleep only 4 hours a night in our 40s

          I would’ve thought that you were twins and thought that 8 hours of sleep meant for both of you together.

          Not that I get 8 hours of sleep, mind you

            Ahh, I see the confusion, lol. No we just seem not to need any more sleep than that, much to my mother’s dismay. She needs 7-8 hours a night.

    Well, I’m a hard, hard working man.

    I put it all on the line for a piece of the promise land.
