Mike, I want you to listen closely.

I love jazz. I love college hoops and football. Few people live and die emotionally with their teams like I do. But I love them as a spectator, because they satisfy a vital human need, inspire us, give us heroes to admire, and allow us to see human achievement. I love going to jazz clubs in NYC because I get to see a some hungry musicians bring down the house. For nearly 30 years I've gone to bed almost every night with my earbuds on, listening to Miles Davis, because it helps me fall asleep.

But a person shouldn't base what they have going for them on what their NEEDS are.

It's what a person CAN DO that defines what they have going for them. So cold as this sounds, start showing you can do something beyond defending booze as a means of creativity and scoring harlots /Cross-eyes Marys
