============

This timeline account of a musician is completely fabricated and made up. In no way does this really happen. Please do not attempt any of the things in the timeline as only professional rock & rollers can maintain this lifestyle. Drugs and alcohol are bad for you and having lots of unprotected sex with strangers could get you a disease or a divorce. I, the blog writer, have never done anything resembling these types of activities. Why are you shaking your head at me? Honest! I don't do these things! Oh well, believe what you want to believe. Now excuse me while I tend to my stamp collection.

ps - TRAMP STAMP COLLECTION! HAHAHAHAHA
