Never once since I became a fan/freshman in the fall of '96 (although there were a few times I gave up on some of the people involved with it)

While I have definitely gotten upset and lost entire years of my life to alcohol, I can't say I've ever actually given up. Jtstang's "no expectations" philosophy has helped a great deal with that, and I guess I will take that with me into this weekend as well, you know dance with who brung me

Alcohol or jt's mantra?

I mean if you are actually dancing I'd go with alcohol.

Alcohol and Jt's mantra kind of go together, so I'd have to say both :D

Alcohol is jt's mantra. No expectations is just a fortunate side effect.
