\t\t\t\ta conversation with a friend last night had me coming back to reality.<\/p>\n
i don’t drink whisky. i don’t do shots. i swill beers and wine and that’s
\nthat.<\/p>\n
but lately i’ve been searing my spinal cord with whisky, and gin. why? i
\ndon’t know. no need to toke my soul, as i have nothing much from which to
\nescape. the sponge of my brain is, i have come to know, an insatiable
\nwhore for numbness.<\/p>\n
my father drank every day of his life until his late 60s, when doctors
\ntold him to stop. he stopped, for a few months. then he discovered whisky.
\nhe never drank much more than lite beer until he resumed drinking those
\nfew months after the doctor’s orders.<\/p>\n
i beat him to the whisky. by 25 years. he’d be proud.<\/p>\n
my life is unstructured and desultory. no reason not to drink, no reason
\nto resist. except those precious innards. oof.i have felt like a walking
\nblowtorch this week. too much whisky. too much sleep. too much much.
\nmunchamunchamunch.<\/p>\n
…..<\/p>\n
strange doings at Calvary today. too strange to explain. working on some
\nstories, though. some quality text matter.<\/p>\n
