No words needed

Sometimes you don't have to say a thing to be heard loud and clear. I was going to try and be clever with a funny blog about my battle with the stomach flu that left me with chapped butt cheeks and no toilet paper. That's not going to happen. I have more important stuff to write about.

The problem is very simple. I'm an addict. I tell you no lie my friends I truly am an addict. The funny thing is most of my friends were as well at one point. I suppose when you hang around people addicted to one of the most powerful drugs on the face of the planet, you might get hooked yourself. I'm not talking about heroin, meth, or even cocaine. It would take too long to explain and for those that do know what I'm talking about, no explanation is needed. Okay, okay enough of me trying to be witty and make some grand blog entrance.

If you fast forward to 2009, you'll find me a Shadow of my former self and I'm fine with that. I'm in the gym, at the dinner table, and out of touch and I'm okay with that too. I make my living in the same industry and I really enjoy it. I'm sure in my younger days if I saw myself walking along the side of the street I would have been talking shit about me all day long. After reading all of what has been typed, you need to know a couple of things that I just don't know how to put in words.

Anthony Pappalardo is a mystery to most. You rarely see the guy and when you do, it's always good. I can say all of this because I remember seeing photos and video of the guy all the time and now most of that is just a memory. That was until I discovered VBS.TV's Epicly Laterd program. Patrick, thanks for doing something like this. I've never met you and don't know you what so ever, but I can appreciate what you have done and the memories I get watching your show. So with that being said, watch this last segment and be amazed just like I was. I hope that one day I can think for myself just like Anthony and without thinking twice about who is going to give a crap. Just like Red quoting Andy in the Shawshank Redemption...."Get busy livin or get busy dyin...thats goddamn right."
