How Much Is Too Much

[bikewhorder]

I was with a friend today who had just gotten back from a funeral of a friend who had died from a heroine overdose. She had been been talking to the brother of the deceased who also struggled with the addiction. He said it starts off so innocently and feels good but eventually it takes over every aspect of your life. You find yourself doing things you never thought you'd do, and hanging out with low life types that you never thought hang out with just to get that next fix. I couldn't help but draw some parallels to this hobby...

I just never thought I'd find myself having lengthy conversations and business transactions with people like Dave Marko.

If you haven't dealt with Vince yet, you haven't hit rock bottom.

Just as sludge sinks to the bottom of the septic tank, cream rises to the top of the milk... and water seeks its own level... we're only as good as the company we keep... so if you're hanging out with lowlife types? Well, if you lay with dogs you'll smell and get fleas.

Enough idioms for you? Bottom line, pick your company well... they represent, and are a reflection of, you.
