Another one checks off his mortal coil

I am back. "You'll never find, another love like mine....." Lou Rawls is dead. Okay, I only remember that song of his when I was in junior high. It really has no meaning to me or any real bearing on my life, but still he is dead and that is too bad.

This is another episode of "Death Watch!". I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed providing it to you.

I am early today, for no apparent reason, given that I have not come across anything funny today. That is not to say I won't but I am trying to get into the habit of writing something each day, so this is the shit you are stuck with.

To be honest, I am still working on giving the homeless alcoholics free drinks. My mind is still spinning on that one. As I said yesterday, it all comes apart on the basis of cost. If it were cheaper to keep them drinking and on the street, then what the hell, I am all for it. As it is not, then who, in the larger sense, does it serve. If not sign me up for the free booze.

Oh yeah, I have not had any brain juice since New Years Eve. It was a little shaky at first but now I am thinking clear as a..........whatever. My thinking is lucid once again. So is the accompanying rage that goes with my thinking. It is a trade off. It is too bad that I am a good drunk. It would make my ingestion of alcohol problematic if I were an angry drunk. I am not so fortunate. I am a happy drunk, angry when I am sober.

That is the confounding part of my life, I am much more pleasant to be around when I am "medicated". When off the meds, I see too much. On the meds, my brain turns to mush and I can be in happy ignorance, watching the colors. Oh well, I am not jonesing for booze right now, nor am I having the shakes (DTs, like in Greece, but that is a story for another day).

I wanted to get that off of my chest. My chest seemed a little heavy. Now that it is off, I still seem to be in discomfort. Shit, I think it is a heart attack not a need to set the record straight. Damn! Anybody know CPR...........................................................

Wait, it was just gas, but thanks for the concern. Ciao!
