DoN'T "HALF-ass" ANYTHING!

... In ALL that you do, ...
use your "FULL-ass".

... TODAY (February 18th) is/WAS "National 'Drink-WINE Day"!

... GREAT 'segui'/transition into the song -- 'S.O.B' 
by Nathaniel Rateliff:    

"I'm gonna need someone to help me

I'm gonna need somebody's hand
I'm gonna need someone to hold me down
I'm gonna need someone to care
I'm gonna write and shake my body
I'll start pulling out my hair
I'm going to cover myself with
The ashes of you and nobody's gonna give a damn

Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Won't more night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Now for seventeen years I've been throwing them back
Seventeen more will bury me
Can somebody please just tie me down
Or somebody give me a goddamn drink

Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Won't more night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away

Mhm, mhm
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
Mhm, mhm
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm

My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me
My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me
My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me
My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me

Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Won't more night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away

Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Son of a bitch
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh"

... How POIGNANT that a NATIONAL "Get-DRUNK"-HOLIDAY coincides with the birthday of my brother?!

Also, can you IMAGINE what my MOM was doing on February 18th, 1987?

(... "T.M.I."?!)

... Since I doN'T BELIEVE in "COINCIDENCE". ... I like-to THINK that "LIFE is composed-of LOGIC & REASON".

-- As long as EVERYTHING is EXACTLY the way I WANT it, ... I'm "FLEXIBLE".

... I mean "FLEXIBLE" as in "AGREEABLE" and/or "Circumstance-ALLOWABLE".  (... NO pun INTENDED!)

... "CHANGE" can be SCARY.  ... But, you know what's scarIER?!  
... Allowing "FEAR" to PREVENT (your) GROWING, ADAPTING, EVOLVING & PROGRESSING.



-- I had a very-PROMISING "SPEECH-Therapy"-session!
(... I ATE TWO eggs, SPOKE very-COGENTLY/-UNDERSTANDABLY & DISPLAYED agile TONGUE-movement!)


watch  

(... I am PROUD-to-BE one of the "UNDER 20% of millennials" who does NOT HIGHLY-associate "RICHES with HAPPINESS".)  


-- I can only-do SOOO much.. The REST is up-to-YOU.
(... Be your-OWN "JUDGE".  
... JUST, ... "MIND" what I say.)

(... In OTHER-words, "'PRACTICE' what I 'PREACH'.")
