I drove myself out of New York City where a man shot himself in front of me. He was a gluttonous man and when his blood came out it looked like the blood of a pig.  
  
That's a cruel thing to think, I know. He did it in a restaurant where I was having dinner with another man, another _married_ man.  
  
Do you see how this is going? But I wasn't always that way.  
  
**I am depraved. I hope you like me.**
