The Human Condition

I'm a fuckin failure.  He said it to himself over and over.  Beating himself with his percieved faults and missed steps.  Hoping and clinging to a belief that maybe one day the universe would hear his cries and unload a flood of prosperity and success.  Wishing, hoping, dreaming that even one aspect of life, he'd …

SELF DISCIPLINE, making REAL CHANGE! Part 3

It’s Sunday night.  I’m sitting on the couch staring intently at what is going to be the last pack of cigarettes I ever smoke.
