Go with the flow

This morning I woke up so poisoned I swore if I could make it through the day I would sleep at least 7 hours and be clean tomorrow. By midnight I was spilling wine and learning the intro to “Back in Black” on guitar.
I’m seriously considering buying a cheap drum set for sale on a local website.
I’ve always wanted a drum set.

Thunderstruck

I had an explosive workout at the gym today while listening to AC/DC. I imagined I was Bon Scott, Brian Johnson and Angus Young all rolled into one. It got me all fired up and I started to realize the importance of drugs in the creation of rock’n’roll.
I feel a little self-conscious enjoying something that used to fuel my 14-year-old temperament, but hey, it’s like that moment when you’re thrusting into your girl savagely. You can suddenly get self-conscious and mutter an apologetic sigh, or you can swell up like an animal and roll with it.

Remembering things past

I’ve spent the past week in Japan, mostly praying and recovering from sobriety. I feel I'm back to myself again.
I like the act of prayer. The process of asking yourself what you really want to ask for, and the empowerment that comes from making deals with forces greater than yourself.
