Author's note:
January 9th, 1986, found me in the midst of yet another of those mid-life crises, you know, the type that most normal 26-year-old children experience from time to time. On that day, I concluded (once again) that my life was dull and worthless, and must change. I'd just like to say that almost 3 months, and a whole lot of soul searching, have passed - nothing much has happened; things are much the same. It's a fucking rotten business, isn't it?! Fatalists - who'd 'ave 'em?!
