Thank you for your honesty telling your story. It actually makes me think of some of the things I've done under the influence. (Drunk, playing chicken in a fucking Volkswagon going the wrong way on the parkway at 2 in the morning--that was smart, for one.) It's good for me personally to remember those times....forego is my witnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785998054727075723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026171904413475346.post-33837601131233237582009-06-17T01:02:43.041-07:002009-06-17T01:02:43.041-07:00You warned us about the step over the line and the...You warned us about the step over the line and the downward spiral. This one certainly shows it. Pretty much always before, though your anger was other directed, you generally took it out on yourself. Here you chose to lash out and hurt someone who (as far as I can tell from the story) had done you nor intended you no harm. Though her concern for her carpet might seem a little callous, your general condition and the bleeding must have been so alarming that her disoriented and mundane concern about the carpet is almost understandable. The thing is, as you have pointed out, you have had that uncanny ability to foresee the next step in the spiral and to say, "What the hell, let it come!" <br /><br />Also, in your telling of the story, you continue to have an integrity and an honesty that is brutal in its openness. This one is not a flattering portrait, my friend, but I respect your unembellished, unapologetic reminiscence.Tim McMullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840770464754311701noreply@blogger.com
