I = me. I wake up every day, piss, walk the dogs, take a ****, walk the dogs, shave, take a shower, go to work for 9 hours, go to the market and buy sh*t, stock the shelves, walk the dogs again, pour a drink, watch the TV, go to sleep.

Sometimes I do this note for note.

Sometimes I alter it a bit.

Exactly WTF are you talking about? I have the free will to not walk the dogs and let them **** on the rug. I have the free will to not buy milk when we need it. I have the free will to blow off work and lose my job if I choose to do so.

WTF are you talking about? Give it to me in nuts and bolts, day to day verbiage. No psychobabble.
