standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same.
It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you
against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of
suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next
day. It's like killing yourself, and then you're reborn. I guess I've lived
about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.”

“For the first twenty years of my life, I rocked myself to sleep. It Like
was a harmless enough hobby, but eventually, I had to give it
up. Throughout the next twenty-two years I lay still and
discovered that after a few minutes I could drop off with no
problem. Follow seven beers with a couple of scotches and a thimble of
good marijuana, and it’s funny how sleep just sort of comes on its own.
Often I never even made it to the bed. I’d squat down to pet the cat and
wake up on the floor eight hours later, having lost a perfectly good
excuse to change my clothes. I’m now told that this is not called “going
to sleep” but rather “passing out,” a phrase that carries a distinct hint
of judgment.”
― David Sedaris, Me Talk Pre y One Day
