Its easy to write off celebrity advice as novel perspective with lavish backing. “Sure they can say that.” you think, “They’ve got millions of dollars, they don’t have any real worries.” Or maybe that’s just my thinking.

Well it happened again. Not enough sleep, too much drinking, smoking, partying and awesome times have conspired against me and I’m again feeling the sick. I guess I asked for it and its not nearly as bad as last summers bout of Tonsilitis post Bandon Folk Festival. A sickness that hit me so hard I...
