: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

By A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

However, I got too liquored. Like puking liquored. I hated it and didn't mean for it to happen but I just drank too much on an empty stomach. Then to make things worse the emotions of the last few months just poured out of me in the form of tears. Real fun for me and those around me. My Native buddy came over and was drunker than any human I have ever seen. I was in bad but I am told that turned into a nightmare. I've already apologized to those who came over. I have decided to stop drinking for a while. It is becoming too convenient. I'm not sure what 2008 holds for me. I'll be a dad again, that seems almost certain. Other than that I have no idea where this new year is going to take me. I need to pull myself out of this funk so I can start to enjoy Alaska again. On Christmas when I was on a snowmachine I had the most fun I've had in ages. I felt alive. So, in the hopes that a piece of machinery can release the grip of the depression that has such a firm grip on my heart, I bought a new toy. Will pick it up tomorrow. 2008 Yamaha Rhino. You only live once and I'm willing to take a chance that this helps even if I can't really afford it.
