I cannot imagine having even 1/4 of what he had by the time I die. It is mostly my own fault for not being as hyper competent as him, but still here I am with my whiskey and my shotgun. I put it in my mouth and weep, teasing the trigger. It's like a game. If i'm too drunk one night, maybe I will accidentally actually pull the trigger. For now though i am just resting my finger on it. Life is bleak. /blog
