People Need Things. I Don't Live A

Getting Sober Was The Single Bravest Thing I've Ever Done And Will Ever Do In My Life.

We Sit At Our Consoles And Play "gears Of War", But We Don't See Images From War. We Don't Turn On The News And See The Evidence Of War, The Result Of War. Maybe Twice A Year, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, We'll Go Out, We'll Hang Our Flags, We'll Try To Inculcate In Our Children Some Sense Of National Honor For The Fallen. But Really, We Don't See It. We Just Don't See The Pictures. There's No Drive-by On The Freeway Of Death Up Close. So We Don't Really See Bravery.

I Don't Ever Want To Make Taking Pictures Into Another Way Of Saying 'here I Am'. Because I'm As Here As I Want To Be.

I Have To Be Careful To Get Out Before I Become The Grotesque Caricature Of A Hatchet-faced Woman With Big Knockers.

By The Way, Food And Rent Aren't The Only Things Around Here That Cost Money. You Sleep On The Couch.
