#28 Posted: 8/12/2011 1:49:27 AM You need to protect your cheddar, kick the scripts (just weed man, why is that so hard), and find a good woman. And stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself with all them poor person starving over in Somalia. 
Sorry excuse for a degenerate if you ask me |

I was a very heavy drinker for 20 years. I don't miss the booze but I will often dream that I have pockets filled with xanaxes and percs. I haven't taken pills in years but the little guy are SOOO addictive that I still dream about taking them, weird. |
