doc benway Posted June 8, 2009 It's tough to achieve that without falling into apathy. It seems like that would be the case but that's not my experience.

Â Â Drugs drop kick you into states. Can you tell the difference between something drug induced and something brought on by practice? The states are similair. I do suggest working on it.
