My Step Into Dreamland

 I loved drinking. But it made me sick. Even one drink would nauseate me. I wasn't a classic alcoholic. I could stop if I wanted to. And I did. Countless times. I didn't drink morning until night. But alcohol makes me puke. So, drinking for me, was a bad idea. I went to an AA meeting with a friend. That's when I discovered that I wasn't an alcoholic, not by a long shot. But alcohol has caused me to have to miss work, miss dates, and couldn't possibly have been good for my health. So I gave it up twelve years ago. Do I miss it? Of course. I was a drinker in the spirit of Li Bai and Du Fu. Alcohol made me free. But then, I'd have cramps for days. So, the alcohol had to stop. And,it did.

 Hi. My name is Jeff. I am an incredibly gifted keyboardist. My life began when I was born. I remember most of my life, due to having an incredible memory. Is it a curse or a gift? It can be both. My blog almost didn't happen. I've been debating with myself whether I should just quit trying. I don't mean taking my life. I mean trying to steer my life back to a place that I want to be. I struggled with drinking. I overcame it. But my new vice? Boredom. This blog will explore my struggles with boredom, the root cause for my past problem drinking. Are you bored right now? I sure am. Is it the heat that makes me bored? Or is it my friends? Do you think a bored person can write a non-boring blog? We shall see. We shall see.
