And then everything turns to rat tulip in my personal life so as to be reminded of the time when I was sat in a bathroom with a bottle of vodka and enough opiates to stop an elephant after those closet to me said how much better off if I wasn't here (they were right I couldn't even do THAT right!)

I guess I knew while on the bench my attention span would run out way before my warchest did, but looks like its time to do what I do best, shut everything out, pretend everything is ok and throw myself back into working, I was looking forward to being choosy about the role I took next, not having to jump to the first contract offered to get money rolling in, but I guess best keep busy, best keep numb....

Whassup, SMac? Thought things were going OK?
