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

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

No due respect, but I have never been a fair weather fan.
