lol...you have seen things...so have I lol
I agree, that was my downfall actually to have it too easy in that area back then. Met some winners too, really sleazy women trying to pose as ladies to gain the status side to things. They didn't like me just the attitude and company I kept on stage usually lol. I have since turned my back on that lifestyle, been a decade now pretty much keeping to myself as if I never even lived as a wanna be rockstar and must say its been peaceful and full of quality people around me. Of course I am still a little outspoken but I seem to have toned down so much no one recognizes me or my new found positive personality. Life did some bitch smacking on me but I learned luckily through it

That was weird reading that. Maybe that's a common thing that happens when you go through a phase like that. I'm the exact same way...been exactly 10 years since I opted out of that game. Now I've over corrected going back the other way I think. Oscillating around the mean.
I used to fit the stereotype of what I was supposed to be to a T at the time tho! ha..BUT, like looking back, I wish I had done more of that stupid shit...cuz it only comes around once, for a limited time...i was at like 80% dirtball...I kinda wish I went the full 115%...and just prayed I didn't get aids!
It would be interesting to see a contrast of what THAT lifestyle is like for hockey player vs guitarist/rocker...I imagine the company we kept was essentially made from the same mold.
Honestly I would suspect its the same thing and same type of company we kept. We were involved in entertainment, sports and music are really the same sort of thing. People follow sports teams and people follow bands like sports in many ways. Plus we pushed our limits I am sure physically and with partying through both areas so it tends to lead us down the wrong path in the end. I gave up everything, sober as can be now a days minus the very very occasional slip up with drinking but that too has been a very long time. I guess you say I appreciate the lessons from it, had fun but it really got boring as I gotten older. I just turned 39 a couple of months ago actually so I guess you say now a days I live for other stuff due to that old lifestyle getting boring lol
Completely agree with that. I am sober as hell too! I don't drink at all, and I don't consider marijuana a drug (which I do smoke a fair bit of)...
And yes, that makes sense about us hanging out with the same people...we probably just interacted with the party crowd and "girls with daddy issues" crowd. I miss those girls sometimes...those filthy, filthy girls. haha.
lol....daddy issues run rampant in that scene, I know this too well by numerous past experiences. I don't consider marijuana a drug either, I don't even bother with that anymore but I rather people ride out and smoke it than ride out wasted on alcohol smashing up lives in the process. I have just gotten myself to a dull very clean stage for the time being in life, lost that fun factor with the party scene, guess just getting older lol
