I feel sick

I drank too much last night. My stomach is queasy. I have been spending too much time with my old friend AL(cohol). If booze is so bad for you why is Guinness so tasty? Why are the legal drugs so hard to kick?
I have some experience with drugs, I have done everything under the sun except for crack and heroin.I walked around with a monkey on my back called cocaine on and off for a few years.In the 90's it was psychedelics, if it made you see pretty colors I did it. I was never much of a pill popper though. I guess I never trusted drugs that were made by "the man". Up until a few months ago I was a hardcore pothead. I don't think pot is bad. I think it should be legalized, in fact, I think it should be prescribed to people like my dad. I just stopped doing it because it made me too lazy. I just sat around and did nothing, I was too lazy to even play a video game. I couldn't write I couldn't even pick up my guitar (I could pick it up physically. But playing the thing was a complete waste). So now, I just drink. Hi my name's McNazty, and I'm an alcoholic. I may try to quit again. I think I will try to see how long I will last without the stuff. The last time I went almost a whole month without a drink. The first five days were the worst as evidenced here and here. I felt like this song sounds, paranoid and chaotic inside.It was difficult to string thoughts together, I felt weak. It was rough to say the least. I need to get my shit together.

In other news I have the second interview with the pet hotel people. I really hope I get this. I think it would be a good job for me.I'm better with animals than people most of the time. The last interview was pretty intense I really thought I was crashing and burning but the person liked me enough to pass me along to the people to my potential superiors.

I watched the film Sicko last night. It was really good. I always knew that the U.S. had a shitty health care system. Did you know that Nixon played a big part in what our system has become? Did you know that in France you can call a doctor to come to your house like you would a plumber? FOR FREE? In Britain the cost of prescription drugs is 6.65 pounds (about 13 bucks) per script, NO MATTER WHAT THE DRUG! Anything from penicillin (cheap) to HIV drugs (expensive as hell). In freaking CUBA, A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, there is a doctor on practically every block, and they also make house calls. I am so sick of the greed in this country. The only reason my mother qualified for medicaid is because she is old and poor and disabled. I'm young and relatively healthy so I probably wouldn't qualify. America is still the richest country world (last time I checked anyway) why is it that it's citizens are unhealthy and 63% of it's high school graduates can't find Britain on a globe. (That number may be wrong, oh and I'm a high school dropout but I can find Britain on a globe) Somewhere, George Orwell is probably having a good chuckle and saying "I told you so". If you keep the people dumb, sick, and scared they will be compliant . Actually, now that I think about it, Oceania probably had a good health care system.
