I kept up the same weight lifting routines until eventually the thought was on me, in me, infested within my every endeavor, that this game was better left to those mindless brutes more suited for it. It was then that I decided to start smoking again, and with a bag of pot and a box of cigars, I took to the weed room to write a novel, having completely lost interest in my own physicality. I neglected meals, writing daily, and I watched my hard earned muscles whither away, my body eating itself to keep alive.

>If you don't eat breakfast, you almost don't even count as a human being, and nothing you do makes any sense. You fail every single day, the moment you do something other than eating breakfast.
