...on truth

...and preferring fiction

ok, the bastard is suffering from post party let down. i get this all the time after a long slog. after shipping the magazine, he crumples and tries to get used to a normal pace. moves on. then we reap the whirlwind again. it's usually worse after shipping the dailies before the gun show. everything begins to move fast, scoop starts to get worried, we ride it out and then...nothing. the bastard gets bummed from the silence. it comes from an two handed need for something to do and a need to be around people (but that's another post shiteyes, we're talking about the unwinding not the people thing). anyway. it usually gets worse after shot show because it's 5 days of late nights long days and hard drinking and then all of a sudden...it stops. and i get into a starte. i think it got worse this year because of the extremely new highs and lows (and let's not forget that i missed out on the bacon martini) we as a team set this year on the working and drinking that the bastard has ahd a hard time coming back to reality. i think i'll be fine now shit eyes, i have stuff to do. go to bed!
