Who knows what the real reason was, it could have been any of the underlying stresses that were eating away at me just below the seemingly calm surface. The reason isn't as important as the result which was a drunken bender that rivals anything that even Hunter S. Thompson could have come up with during his rampage in Las Vegas. I've spent the last two days paying either physically or financially for the things I did on that awful Saturday night, but the biggest payment has been the emotional stress. There are a few pissed off friends and relatives that resulted from my Springfield black out show down, but what twists my soul the most is the three hours between 3am and 6am that are totally unaccounted for. There is no explanation for my heinous behavior that evening but there was a lesson learned, I will never again drink to that excess. I mean good god, it was something like twenty beers and a pint of jack Daniels while driving up one way streets the wrong way and getting lap dances from college girls at down town strip clubs. All of which culminated into me breaking my own windshield and the glass out of a friends front door. I am a menace and I need to be stopped, or at least contained for a bit. Waking up confused, hung over and waiting for the sky to fall on top of me, I realize now more than ever that I am a sick man who needs his medicine. I obviously took way too much that night and I pray that nobody got hurt who didn't deserve it. "No sympathy for the devil. Buy the ticket, take the ride." These words having been echoing through my head for the past two god damned long and painful days, haunting me, taunting me. God protect us all from me, or at least protect me from myself.
