It's funny you use this term, because I used to be a pretty trash human back when I was addicted to amphetamines, and over a period of 7 or 8 years life had went from reasonably decent to absolute shit. But I turned it around and have taken myself to a place I never would have thought possible, particularly when the alternative was very likely going to be the graveyard.

Aside from drug related events I've been involved in many, many fights, the majority of which I came out worst. I've been attacked and left for dead on the side of the road, which was pretty much attempted murder. And my instinct helped me avoid actually being murdered on a separate occasion. These are just a couple of things off the top of my head.

I've been to some pretty dark places, kiddo. So your attempts at insulting me on the interwebs because you didn't like the books I read are nothing more than amusing.
