I started partying as soon as I could. I wanted to be like my brothers who were never home but when I saw them about town were always with chicks. I watched them throw parties with their friends and have great times. I would sneak a few beers in for myself as often as I could. This was high school when I began my drinking career that lasted until 2007. I have two books and could write three more about the time period between 1987 and 1994 specifically. Anyways, once I found out that the party life is just the exchange of bodily fluids with chicks who are doing the same with everyone else like you, you begin to realize how some people land jobs before others in their younger years. Usually family get people started ahead of the pack and as friendships age certain orbits change and the people in our lives change as responsibilities and "time" become highly regulated with very little time for self. I saw these people get married, have kids, get fat and bitter, and watch as their kids begin their run with technology. Besides these things, and as I watched people I knew absolutely become some of the most hypocritical bitches on the planet and how they use people so completely it made me want to vomit, I continued drinking mass quantities of beer. All the hospital emergency rooms were especially fun when the kids looking after me were making side bets as to whether I would be back dead or alive next time... Anyways, I quit college in 89 and didn't go back till 2007 where I decided to do something about... something and look into what I needed to do to get my AA degree. I didn't know how to type or what a pc was, but I heard of Microsoft. I was 36....
