Well this April will be a year since two young men from the Pilsen Neighborhood were killed in a drunk driving accident. Joseph Frugoli a Chicago Police Officer was 3 times the legal limit for alcohol consumption when he slammed into the disabled car both men were in.
I've changed a lot over the years. One of the biggest changes I've made in my life was to stop drinking at all. I think alcohol makes it easy for you to make mistakes that can't be reversed. My biological father was an alcoholic and he chose the bottle over my sister and me. I won't make that choice in life because I'd rather not drink or indulge in any type of substance that controls what I do. I don't judge people who drink or do drugs, in fact most of my good friends do those things and I'm totally cool with it.
But there is one thing I won't forgive or condone: Driving under the influence of alcohol. You shouldn't do it, It's not worth it. One of my best friends brother died due to Drunk Driving, I won't go into any details about it out of respect to my friend. The best thing we can all do to make sure all these deaths are not in vain is to limit and control our alcohol consumption to a reasonable and responsible amount. If you have to drive, don't drink at all! The two young men from the beginning of this blog, their lives are over. All because an idiot drove under the influence of alcohol. If you loved those guys you'll NEVER drink and drive again. In fact you shouldn't have drank and drove when you found out those poor guys were killed in that accident.
I'm not here to be a moral compass, In fact I'm the last guy who should have a say in morality. This is more like I'm harassing for the sake of common sense. I'm a big fan of common sense and people using it. Driving under the influence is the most heinously STUPID thing you or any of your friends can do. Be safe everyone.
