Chad Ochocinco references his self-imposed curfew like a badge of honor, so it's going to take special circumstances for the professional tweeter Patriots wide receiver not to be tucked in by 8 p.m.
President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday night apparently qualified, joining a category of sacred exemptions that includes playing video games with Michael Vick.
Ochocinco watched the President with the wide-eyed wonderment of a young boy, his unfiltered thoughts documented via social media.
This is why Twitter was invented. Let's dive into the mind of Ochocinco, shall we?

I can't go to sleep what time is the State of the Union Address? — Chad Ochocinco (@ochocinco) January 24, 2012

Not being rude but if they stand up and clap on every statement Obama says this could go on well over 3 hours.

I'm always sleep by 8 oclock so yes this is RT @Iammissylauvre: @ochocinco: is this your first time watching the address? It's always long

Anybody notice the guy over Obamas left shoulder doesn't seem very happy and he's not smiling. He's not clapping with joy

@SpeakerBoehner Just read some of your tweets and you seem pretty angry kind sir. I can see you on tv but you're not smiling. Hope you're ok

Speech is awesome but how did he manage to memorize so much material? RT @wolfclaw5: @ochocinco what do you think of the speech so far?

Has there ever been a President speak without a teleprompter? Difficult RT @Dlawsage: @ochocinco he reads it on a prompter in front of him.

Like losing virginity all over again RT @dylgoss7: Hahah i feel like this is @ochocinco 's first time experiencing politics.

I learned that Obama will again and John Boehner isn't a happy guy. RT @NotChooch: @ochocinco so what did you learn from the #STOU

Will? Will what? Win? Lose? Give us the answer, Ochocinco!
On Wednesday morning, Boehner responded to repeated Ochocinco messages.
@ochocinco: Thanks & good luck in the @SuperBowl; we'll see you in the playoffs next year. Go #Bengals #WhoDey

Your government at work for you!
