Thankyou, Jack Kerouac
for showing me
the immense damage alcohol consumption can do to your psyche
Paranoia, self loathing, crippling self doubt
You trapped in a cabin at Big Sur, is the same as me trapped in my cupboard sized room.
Going slowly insane.
At least you had a Donkey for company.
Fuck this, I'm going on the wagon.
Maybe i'll like myself then.

"Big Sur" is my fave Kerouac book. You're the first person to imply knowledge of it that I've seen. I live an hour north of where he drank himself to death, do I get a prize?
You do in fact get a prize.
Does his alcoholic death make it poetic?
Or did poetry lead him to an alcoholic death?
I can never make my mind up.
That was in fact me, using the wrong e-mail address.
