At home I am a saint. Have smoked maybe 10 cigarettes in my life and one in the last 5 years. Have a glass of wine maybe once a month when I go somewhere nice to eat.
At shows I am a devil. Drink whatever I can get my hands on and hardly ever get a hangover. The last night at CybernetExpo was probably that only hangover I have had in a year. Of course I won $1k on a $5 slot pull that night and would not have done that had I been sober so it's all good. I don't need the booze, just seem to have more fun when I have a little in my blood. As most people will tell you I am boring as fuck naturally and when I am tipsy I am probably just as boring with a hint of annoying lol
When I am with the right crowd I will smoke the occasional doobie. Again, don't need it but enjoy it now and then. Smoked weed my first time when I was 11 (had a gun pointed at me by a dealer on a playground and was told to smoke weed or smoke cock - true story). Have gotten in more trouble on legal booze than I have on weed. How many people get high and then want to go out and get into trouble? Most people that get high just want to sit around, eat some munchies, and talk with people and enjoy the moment.. and then find a nice bed or corner to sleep in lol
Smoked the first night at CyberNetExpo and the next morning my lungs and sinuses felt like a desert. Dont know what was wrong with the air in the Tropicana but no matter how much water I drank I always seemed dehydrated. Didn't smoke the rest of the show.
Kudos to Steve Lightspeed for going clean. When JoeE got back from Europe HE told me that Steve looks like he was doing too much. That is scary. Glad to see that some people have the self control to stop. I like smoking and drinking, but if I ever had to decide between that life and my family life I would give it up in a heartbeat. Family means much more.
of course Vegas IS only 32 days away from now
First round is on me! Just find me at the $5 slots!
