struggle character madness
I struggle in these situations not to let my madness govern me, and to let the positive aspects of my character define my life.
people quitting heroin
A buddy of mine was addicted to heroin and he told me that people who say quitting cigarettes is harder than quitting heroin are wrong.
sweet boys thinking
My mate Karl once told me he’d been looking after this five-year-old boy who – not knowing enough to have an ironic inflection to his words – said, ‘I want something.’ He didn’t know what it was. Not ‘I want sweets’, or ‘a can of Coke’, or ‘to watch the Tweenies’, or whatever it is they’re into now (I like Bagpuss), but ‘I want something.’ All of us, I think, have that feeling. And what heroin does when you first start taking it is tell you what that something is.
beautiful personality cargo
A personality for the incredibly beautiful can be a pointless cargo...
firsts causes first-date
Normally, I'm good at first dates, 'cause that's the only date I ever have, so I know how to control it and be confident.
parks life-is theme
Life is not a theme park, and if it is, the theme is death.
rocks self storm
Thus another friendship was dashed on the cruel rocks amid the storm of my self-destruction.
succeed puberty
By puberty I learned that nothing worth having could be easily attained and to succeed one must be single minded.
drug way drink
The way I've been with drink and drugs suggests I have a tendency to get addicted to things.
ideas self people
Perhaps if we could popularise through the techniques of branding and consumerism, a different idea, a different narrative, perhaps the world can change. After all it changes constantly and incessantly, it's just the perceptions that we have are governed by people with self-interest and are not inalignment with the health and safety of us as individuals or as a planet.
falling-in-love love-you focus
When you fall in love you recognise you're not the most important person in the world, and your focus becomes another person.
drinking water hot
This is no time for drinking a mug of water - which you would do nowhere else in the world. A mug of water! You just don't drink water from mugs, do ya? Except on the telly. Water out of a mug! Should be a hot drink... mug of water.
sex winning men
There's no biological reason why a man shouldn't just try to have sex with every woman he meets - all of them get pregnant and your genetics are winning.
lying people drunk
It is difficult to feel sympathy for these people. It is difficult to regard some bawdy drunk and see them as sick and powerless. It is difficult to suffer the selfishness of a drug addict who will lie to you and steal from you and forgive them and offer them help. Can there be any other disease that renders its victims so unappealing? Would Great Ormond Street be so attractive a cause if its beds were riddled with obnoxious little criminals that had “brought it on themselves?
