I stopped doing drugs.

The hard stuff. Not asprin or whatever.

Kinda reluctant to even share this but 20 years is crazy and I'm amazed I'm still here. In fact at my 10 year high school reunion the first thing some friends would say is "man..you are still alive?" Well that says it all.

I will have the occansional hand full of beers from time to time and I enjoy wine at the casa. But that's about it. I try the Ben Franklin approach.

I'm very lucky and blessed all at the same time. :D

I still have flashbacks/tracers/randomness/missing time that goes on.

My oldest almost daily asks me such bizzare questions that it's almost like being high.

Example. Yesterday, while in my office, we are going over some homework stuff and she just comes out and asks: "dad, have you ever had a pet giraffe?" HUH??

And my wife can't remember anything past an hour and I can't forget anything. I'm like I'm the one who did all the drugs.

It's interesting that you remember the exact date. Was there a specific event that led you to quitting?

Not really a specific event per se.

Just reached a point where I had done just about everything and it wasn't floating my boat.

I was seeing a chick that more or less paid me to party with her and she had some high level connections. I could see the writing on the wall this was going to be similar to Less Than Zero and guess who Julian was going to be?

Of course all this is going on while I'm searching for deeper stuff so maybe that helped.

Thats Great..congrats..did you stop cold turkey

Yes. Now to my benefit, I wasn't rolling in the dough so that cut down on some of the access. That might have helped.

Had I been the broker guy then during that time. I shudder to think where I would be.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”

      Sign him up. I am willing to bet he wouldn't finish a game with -2 yards.

      Why Panthers’ Dave Canales won’t run a QB sneak with Bryce Young

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
