A little bit better than I used to be.
Cuz I'm alive!
...I figure if there is ANY acceptable time to start quoting Motley Crue lyrics, now would be it. Your faithful narrator left his trusty job of the last 6 months to embark on a quest of degeneracy, music, sex and drugs. Today, like any other day, is filled with wonder, excitement, and all that other stupid shit that makes life worth living. It's 8:30 am and no, my friends, I am not just about to go to sleep. In fact I am just waking up, enjoying my morning cup of steamy fresh black coffee and smoky harsh cigarette. I have dropped many a tournament buyin in and about town, as my newfound fortunes are tenfold the amount of cash I've had in my possession at any one time. Sandwitches, tacos, burritos, South East Asians, drinks, blah blah blah.
What is on the agenda today? A trip to Redding with some buddies to make a little money, go eat at the In & Out joint, drive a brand new car back over the 299. Hopefully make it back by 5pm as play the $32,000. The truth is today's agenda is like every other day, which is find a nice balance between laziness, socialization, poker, bong rips, a couple hours of guitar jam, a pint or two of beer, and finding the eternal self-discipline to NOT spend a lot of money.
The fun part is I have nothing but free time. I am never in a hurry. I drive the speed limit, I walk at a comfortable pace, and I don't even care about waiting in line at the DMV anymore. Wha-wha-what?!?! Yessir! It's those little things. No longer having to combine cigarettes with music with food with relaxation.
In fact, you can summarize my life into the following statement:
I wear my slippers everywhere I go because I want to be comfortable, I don't give a fuck what other people think, and there's not a chance I'll be running into any obligatory work.
Ironically enough, I am now going to end this blog, not because I want to rush to completion so I can run off and do something else, simply because I can always come back later and pick up this thread. In closing, this has become both the literal and hypothetical thread of my life, where you pull them away to reveal the tapestry that is my life.
Thank you Star Trek for providing me with such a quotable one-liner!
