Sounds like the voice of experience. Luckily you are wiser now. btw, interesting hearing about your poetry last night at the drinking party. There's two words that often go together: poetry and drink (Dylan Thomas comes to mind). The one you mentioned, please send it by pm or email if you want to share/discuss.
It is in your messages, and I am only as wise as my wallet is waifish. ;) I've been on a powerfully building writing/poetry/submission/DO DO DO kick for the last two weeks or more and it's really starting to show in my Hubski conversations, haha. But there are significantly worse things to be obsessed with. I am not a good drunk writer, however. Maybe I miss the sweet spot in the middle when my handwriting's still legible, I don't know. I'm a great drunk Tweeter. Notable moments include: "If I were apple I would name all my operating systems after bread" and "I just want someone I want delete my tweets with the next morning."
