I'm writing this because of an incautious statement I made here. Next time I'll keep my mouth shut. It's just part of my nature to be attracted to women who are...crazy, nuts, wild, insane, basically not good for me, like chocolate or caffeine.
I've lead an active life. Done a lot of idiotic things, had my share of plain old bad luck, drunken and drugged stupidities have certainly taken their toll, been some places I had no business being and I've got the scars to prove it.
