I've made an important decision. Getting a little up in years, I've decided I'm going to live right now, instead of for some "future" that might or might not happen. The far and away best part of my day is at 5:30 when I sit at my bar, have a large glass of whiskey, smoke cigarettes, read a good book, and listen to awesome music. I'm not about to give that up, so that I can have a few more questionable years at the end of my life, laying around doing nothing. I'm going to continue to go to bars, have a few too many, and listen to good music with good people, for as long as I can do it. I'm going to have my 5:30 whiskey with cigarettes, and do as I please god dammit. If and when it gets to the point where I'm a burden to myself and everyone else, I'll find a way to die. And that's it.
