Nah, he just went on and on about how he has the hots for his own sister. Posted a pic of her half naked as well. It was REAL creepy. I would have deleted it too if I were him.

She looked ok, though. Not like what he was saying but ok nonetheless.

She lasted about 2 weeks here before I got her to eat a beef sandwich, she's never looked back.

I was vegetarian for a year, then I left for Mexico for 4 months. About a day in I realized, "being a vegetarian in Mexico will be impossible -- both logistically (in Mexico, lard is everywhere) and because meat in Mexican food is just too damn delicious to pass up."

I never turned back.

He did not. I didn't see it.

He did and I did.

I wish I would have saved the pic before he deleted it. Could have gotten some good use out of it.

Soup is not lieing to you... He did, he called her supermodel hot, but she wasn't that hot... Nerbly you can't just be throwing around the words "supermodel hot".

especially about your fucking sister.
See how fucked up those rich families are? Brother and sisters blowing each other and shit. Dad off in Dubai fucking hookers, mom drowning her sorrows in the home shopping network?
Barf. Seriously. Barf.
I am glad I grew up poor.

I had a pretty gnarly coke problem while living in ATL. Read some of my first posts and you'll see them as a result of an amphetamine addiction.

Didn't touch the shit for at least four or five months once back in ILM. Started up again with a few friends. I got really bad again, but then I corrected.

It was just a stupid adolescent mistake. Not really that difficult anymore to say no. But my heart goes out to those constantly battling.

Amen, Brother.

For the most part, I've stopped the boozin' and druggin' but I'd say about three or four times a year I'll choose a weekend and fall back into the old habits. It stops you from losing it completely. It's not so much as falling off the wagon as dangling out the back and running your fingers through the dirt every so often.

Odd. I had this same experience, only I was a vegetarian for nine years longer than that.

When I got back from Central America, the snottiness of my former comrades made me realize some things about vegetarians.

Once, on tour, after having given up cigarettes for a couple of years, I called my girlfriend in Athens. I was at a payphone in Portland, OR. It was my birthday. She blithely informed me she was moving her shit out of my house and that the guy that I suspected she has been shacking up with was INDEED helping her move her shit.

I was a bit dumbstruck. I managed to stammer "But... but... it's my birthday....."

and she said "Oh, yeah. Happy birthday... I gotta go."

*click*

I walked into 7-11 and bought a pack of Camel shorts. Fuck a filter. I smoked for three or four more years.

Also, several years later, after having been off drugs for even longer than I was off cigarettes, my girlfriend talked me into smoking some weed with her. For those of you unfamiliar with the addict mind, this is what was, in my case, the top of the slipperiest of slippery slopes. One very short and SPECTACULAR drug binge later, even she was strongly encouraging me to climb back up on the wagon, for her own safety and mine. Eventually, I did.



Last year, I did not run a marathon because I fell off the "run frequently and don't eat six or more carne asada tacos a week" wagon. This year, I am trying to claw my way back into shape.

I once worked at a Howard Johnson hotel and I once got an award for employee of the year. All the front desk women voted me in for some reason. God bless em. As a young 22 year old, I had issues, and I tried to quit binge drinking but those women kept me going. One day, reluctantly I went to play volleyball with the work crew. I held out on the booze. The next thing I know I am buying coke and Korbel brandy for an unknown destination.. I go back to some co workers apt. We have sex. Her roommate walks in after the fact. We then start walking towards some bars. I bent down to tie my shoes and I happened to look to my left, which was an alley and I ran like Robbie Benson down that alley. I take baths.
