I love Chicago.
I love the city. I love the people. But I hate the winters.
Sitting here in my office right now, in this heat out here in farm country, brings back some great memories of the 3 years I lived in the Windy City from 1993-95. Those were the days. I was starring in plays, getting shit faced every night, getting laid every other night, and loving life.
Good memories....

30 Days without a Drink...and Counting...
Well....the rehab continues here in farm country....
Today makes 30 days without having a drink. I can't remember the last time I've gone more than 30 days with no liquor. I can think of times I've gone 2 or 3 weeks; but never this long.
That's not a good thing. I remember back over the last 25 years of my drinking since I graduated high school in 1983...in the last 25 years, I always remember having a drink....this rehab time out here in the boonies is a much needed time.
It's probably a good thing I'm not in NYC right now for the AMC screening of my film PHONE SEX GRANDMA. If I was there, I'd probably be getting shit-faced with the free booze at the parties. I know this time is a good time for my body.
You'd think with me being vegan and so health-conscious, that I wouldn't drink either, because it pollutes my body. Isn't that something?
These last 4 weeks, I've had so much trouble sleeping too. In the last week, I don't think I've slept a total of 10 hours. I just toss and turn at night, and my mind won't stop working while I'm in bed. These last few days, My head and face has been numb and throbbing a lot. I sometimes have to take aspirin or Benadryl to make myself relax and go to sleep. I wonder if this is a withdrawal symptom from not drinking?
If it is, I just have to have the withdrawals...I'll get through it. I can sleep when I'm dead.
I just have to think of my life, my films, and PHONE SEX GRANDMA:
It makes it all worth it....
