Garrulous in talking to myself I became,
Fearful to a small degree of becoming insane,
The floor I stood on ceasing to be horizontal,
Canted it seemed like the deck of a ship,
The walls became curved,
The ceilings did swell…
Humiliated I became by the rambling nature of talking to the self,
In every whiny lament I saw a self-pitying wretch,
Self-pity was for me my social standing,
This child did not have the balls or maturity to accept my dark past,
I was plummeting into an abyss,
Towards a death I so richly deserved…

Yea I like the dog photo. I love RUM but drinking too much is like taking a 2x4 and beating myself over the head. However when my buddies and I have our annual college reunions we act like teenagers once again and get semi-plastered. God Bless us all. Amen
