The Barkeep
Each moment of our lives presents an excuse to pursue control. We sit in its grips and seek it while occasionally becoming validated by perceived successes at the practice. The idea of control is the biggest lie that the universe has ever sold us. But without its presence, who are we? I have often wondered why societies failed attempts at control result in such destruction and separation. My only guess is that it brings us down to size and allows us to descend further towards chaos. Our imperfections give our perfect world its imperfect equilibrium, and I believe that it has to be that way.

An Insane Voice
Sometimes, life has a cunning way of teaching you a lesson. In my expireince, the most prudent lessons that I have learned were dealt by a firm hand. I have been struck down and risen up, only to be beat back again. It was a pernicious cylce of self-reliance which finally came to an abrupt end. I dont know if it was grace, ignorance, or my own ego, but here I am, writing to you a "changed" man. Back then, in a twisted way, I found solace in my own destruction. Outside of instinctual drive, I beleive there to be no true answer as to why people do what they do, espeically when it comes to alcohol and drug addiction.
