Vito the Jailbird-to-Be
   
This Friday, at the Alexandria Hoosegow, one Vito Fossella will appear, surrender, and allow himself to be taken into custody, stripped of his identity, stripped of his name and given a number, stripped of his clothing, searched for contraband in places we can all imagine, and be issued a new suit of clothes devoid of sharp or stiff objects.

Vito Fossella will then commence serving four days of a five day sentence for driving while ****ed up on hooch. The fact that he was coming from his secret second family's house is not part of the issue.

Poor Vito. His parents and family must be so proud of him. I mean, he was all about family values. In fact, he valued them so much, he had two of his own.

Poor Vito.

Should've listened to that little voice that was tellin' me it was stupid to go back to drinking just because my wife (with whom I'm separated) wouldn't go out with me unless I was drinking too.

So now here I am with a DUI.

And I drive a bus for a living. But not for much longer, I'm sure. Hated the job anyway but still need the money.

Sucks to be me. That was exactly one week ago... haven't had a drink since then but lemme tell you, it sure is hard to go through what I'm going through without my usual ability to just drink and forget everything for awhile.

Well, there's always sleep.

6. Sorry to hear you got in trouble.
   
Believe me, I know how it feels. I know what you mean about not being able to get ****ed up and forget about it too.

I would suggest putting your sobriety first before anything else right now. Don't keep on going for years on end like I did. I hate to think of anybody going through life like that.

Take care of yourself, OK?

     Consistency, thy name is DUI. Eat shit, assholes.
