    He's right, you don't.

    Hell, some days I don't even want to be like me anymore.

    But hey, I see it as inspirational to others. In the same way that Jerry Springer is.

    You know. 'Cause no matter how bad and messed up your life gets, you can always turn on Jerry Springer, point to the guest on stage and say, without a doubt, "Hey, my life is pretty messed up right now but at least I ain't THAT guy!"

    It's the "Jerry Springer Effect". The "Maury Povich Effect" is right up there too but more pronounced for women who don't know who their baby's daddy is.

    So in reality, I'm performing a public service by just being me.



    Then again, you really shouldn't compare yourself to others. They are more 'eff'ed up than you can ever imagine!

    It took me 5.5 years to get here. You have over 3 times as many posts and have been here 3 months less than me. I don't wanna hear anything about "demotions".

    Just the fact that you posted shows you have some sort of concern, positive or negative.
