The Perfect Analogy

[perzephone]

Yesterday somehow Rob & I ended up talking about tobacco & alcohol. I mentioned that tobacco is a Jaguar-spirit, & I said that I didn't know exactly what alcohol was, I just know it's a God. It does for me what no other drug has ever done, when I'm not drinking I am nothing - forsaken and empty inside, and I want to drink all the time - very much like Rob and his smoking.

Rob came up with a perfect analogy. He said alcohol is a crocodile. It grabs you, bounces you off the river bed a few times for good measure, spins you around & drowns you.

It was perfect. Alcohol is a Crocodile.
