WATER

Yes it has been a while since I last blogged; that is because I have been drinking way too much booze, going out to private views, gate crashing expensive parties, beaten up by friends and generally being hung over, bruised and abused. Well That's it folks, I am quite fed up with this lifestyle - it doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere, but hey I've tried it out for a very long time.
So my drink of the week this week is WATER.
I'M GOING CLEAN LIKE CHARLIE SHEEN!
