it's all good. please treat me nicely. and thanks for calling me J.R. i kind of dig that for some reason.

that is boring advice. but good too, i'm sure. i usually finish work around 930-10pm and bed just seems too depressing. leonard cohen said something about refusing to sleep being the first rebellion. don't remember the exact words. main thing should be to quit drinking. here's...

i've never been to AA. i don't think they have it here in China. but maybe i can use this site to help me resolve my abuse issues. more than a little ironic if a bukowski site would be able to do this. i take paxil for panic attacks. panic attacks are fucking insane. completely lose your...
