Oh, I'm self-aware. Of all the negatives. It's the positives I'm struggling to find. That's why I'm taking to a mental health professional before I pull a Hemmingway in a truck stop bathroom.

So first of all, I'm glad you're getting professional help because being self-aware and having the courage to reach out and tackle your demons head on is tough. Keep up the good fight mate.

But you're going to have to be more specific when saying "pull a Hemmingway" because that fucker did a lot.

So you're either going to rip a skylight out of a ceiling onto your head, accidentally shoot yourself in the leg whilst aiming at a shark twice, publish a Pulitzer prize novel, contravene the Geneva Convention, work for the KGB, be investigated by the FBI for obvious reasons, have several car accidents, cheat on your current wife then divorce then marry the other woman repeatedly, get mauled by a lion, or start hunting Nazi U-Boats with a machine gun and a handful of grenades.

I think he means the very last thing Hemmingway did.

Second to last is also not great.
