"I am so tired." You say as you kick off your shoes and sit down on the couch. You just had a long day of work but luckily it is Friday night, its the weekend, and your parents went out to visit some in-laws, so now you have the whole house to yourself. You take a shower to wash off the dirt and crud from working, looking at yourself in the mirror, you comb back your dark brown hair, put some comfortable clothes over your fit body and headed for the living room. Not sure what to watch, you decide to flip through channels but you can't find the remote. "Where is it?" You spend five minutes looking for the remote but no luck. "God damn it.
