Thanks everyone... and a Metallica tune...

I truly try not to bitch too much... this has just been a rough couple weeks... I've gotten so damn jaded to sickness... have some guys wanting me to get back behind the wheel of a big truck and I've been giving it some serious thought but I know that this will be the last time if I do... Its weird... when I first started driving back in 93, I thought to myself that "this will be where I die"... as much as I try to deny it, my roots are so deeply embedded in the blue collar world that it's hard to break away especially in this field. There is something about the relative solitude and the control of sitting on so much horsepower and 100,000 lbs plus of weight beneath the seat that gives a skilled driver like myself (not being conceited... I'm definitely a gear jammer... may post some old in cab videos) some real self respect... but it's not an easy life and it could backfire big time... I've come to realize that above all, I am an artist and writer (really more writer) and my fear is that my "true" self will fall once again by the wayside.... But this is the disadvantage of living in a society that is based on capitalism...  also of some very bad financial choices... Going back to this profession would enable me to quickly earn enough cash to get back in to "the market" and re-pay some personal debt, but every single time has resulted in a rapid deterioration of my health, mostly due to very long hours and my neglect of "medication"... Once again I stand on the precipice... I really can't express enough my appreciation for the support of my DA friends... I'm not really a Facebook guy.... you guys/girls are the community of which I am the most fond... whatever happens, happens.... Thought I would post a link for one of my favorite Metallica tunes.... jamming to them now...
