“Nothing to tell now Let the words be yours, I’m done with mine” By John Perry Barlow with Bob Weir Recorded on Ace (Warner Brothers, 1972) Cora, Wyoming February, 1972 I go months and months without thinking about certain things, including the grateful dead, and then in a wave and a rush, I’ll remember how…

Woke up thinking about work again, it’s been an amazing few months with our software going into almost every major nightclub and dozens of great restaurants throughout Atlanta, and I’ve hired three sales folks, and I’m just amped still. We release on iphone very soon, and the anticipation to see how everything all works is…

As most alcoholics, I am often childish, oversensitive, and grandiose. I’ve spent a lot of time wondering if writing this book was even a good idea, and I constantly worry about the harm I’ve done in being so brutally honest about my life, and especially in my sobriety, but ultimately I always come back to…

Fun stuff. Very proud to be on theaddictedproject.com and to be their featured author. It was a long week, and I was a bit tired and discombobulated, but I think it went over pretty well, we shall see I suppose. Great questions though.

The cool thing is that the internet is permanent, as in forever, not going anywhere, and it is conceivable that this blog will exist for my…

What a loser… lol… he dyed his beard, rofl, fucking pussy… OMG, those videos of him flipping the channel trying to find pictures of himself, are hysterical. I laughed so hard I couldn’t see straight, what a vain ass prim a Donna. He reminds me of Cory Feldman and Haim looking for their last blasts…

The recovered drug addict/alcoholic such as myself, is apt to find that even without drugs and alcohol, he is still quite capable of obsessing over certain things. With 4.5 years of real sobriety now, I’ve obsessed over everything from WW2 strategy games, to my book Hippopotamus Sea which took three years to write and finish.…
