I stopped doing drugs.

The hard stuff. Not asprin or whatever.

Kinda reluctant to even share this but 20 years is crazy and I'm amazed I'm still here. In fact at my 10 year high school reunion the first thing some friends would say is "man..you are still alive?" Well that says it all.

I will have the occansional hand full of beers from time to time and I enjoy wine at the casa. But that's about it. I try the Ben Franklin approach.

I'm very lucky and blessed all at the same time. :D

I still have flashbacks/tracers/randomness/missing time that goes on.

My oldest almost daily asks me such bizzare questions that it's almost like being high.

Example. Yesterday, while in my office, we are going over some homework stuff and she just comes out and asks: "dad, have you ever had a pet giraffe?" HUH??

And my wife can't remember anything past an hour and I can't forget anything. I'm like I'm the one who did all the drugs.

It's interesting that you remember the exact date. Was there a specific event that led you to quitting?

Not really a specific event per se.

Just reached a point where I had done just about everything and it wasn't floating my boat.

I was seeing a chick that more or less paid me to party with her and she had some high level connections. I could see the writing on the wall this was going to be similar to Less Than Zero and guess who Julian was going to be?

Of course all this is going on while I'm searching for deeper stuff so maybe that helped.

Thats Great..congrats..did you stop cold turkey

Yes. Now to my benefit, I wasn't rolling in the dough so that cut down on some of the access. That might have helped.

Had I been the broker guy then during that time. I shudder to think where I would be.

      Would you trade for Justin Fields?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I would take Fields as a backup if I didn't have to give up much for him. I think he has earned and could be a legit backup in the league behind a very durable starting QB who doesn't miss a ton of games.  That's no knock of Fields as I think Russel Wilson is done and feel like at this point Fields will take the job back from Wilson before seasons out. Of course I'm biased because Russel Wilson gives me the creeps with his extreme level of awkwardness and just plain weirdness. He is about as fake as they get and apparently a master at convincing others that he still has anything left. In Seattle I don't know if it was his skill or guys like Tyler Lockett who didn't get enough credit for coming down with his hail Marys he would just randomly throw up.

      TNF: Saints vs Broncos

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He is a talented fat guy hence where his name comes from. Also lived hard but cleaned himself up and appears to be a good human being trying to give back much like Post Malone. Both of those two seem genuine as hell to me even though I don't listen to either's music.

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      The whole scenario is dumb and wouldn't possibly work for the Browns so it will never happen. Mr. happy Ending is stuck up in that poo hole they call Cleveland. I know that city all too well as it's where I grew up. Watson and Cleveland deserve one another. Both aren't worth a poo.
