Hey Circus, I didnt realize your last trip was so miserable...hell, I didnt even see you at the craps table.

Of course I have had to give that game up since switching to the DARK side under your influence has put me under a black cloud playing EITHER side. I'm back at poker to try and rebuild my bankroll.
In some ways, dont you think it's refreshing that your day is no longer totally focused on taking care of the woodie you used to wake up with in the morning? And isnt it easier to concentrate on OTHER things after you've seen and done all types of pu*sy all over the world and there is very little that can now really surprise you? Now you can focus on your writing (which you are obviously gifted in), follow your philosophical fancy to the ends of your intellectual ability...and of course still have the strength to reach for that bottle when it's time to deaden the pain of reality that causes most philosophers to pursue suicide.
Most of all, you have memories and a past that no one else has...through your own eyes, the steps you have chosen to take, into good and horrific situations...all contributing to the uniqueness and good qualities those of us who know you have discovered in you...and which you so often try to shrugg off and minimize.
You ARE a brother Circus. Carry on my wayward Son...
Quote:
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
No!
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
The center lights around your vanity
But surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)
