At least

I have a lot of bad traits. I keep taking Xanax and Ambien and things that relax me and help me fall asleep. But I only do that to maintain minimal levels of productivity and creativity. To make me somewhat profitable and in a seemingly reflexive sense, more aware.

At least I'm not hanging out in chat rooms for hours at a time, at the expense of all other possibilities. At least I'm not cruising bars for booze and boobs. At least I'm not laying a trail of tears about my own misfortune. At least I see the promise of a blank slate every day, having erased all yesterdays to make room for all tomorrows. At least I'm still corny.
