Sometimes one of the worst things a person can do is influence their own fate. So... how many monkeys do you have on your back?

Not what you said! "He has a monkey on his back." What does THAT mean?

Not what you said! "He has a monkey on his back." What does THAT mean? The weight of burden.

I never understood that saying. What does it mean? It means you are itching for a fight. People (Okay, men) used to put a chip of wood on their shoulder and demand that someone knock it off of there, with the intention of fighting anyone who did. Putting Doritos on your shoulder is a tastier and lower calorie version of the shoulder cookie.

Would anyone like a gorilla on their back?

Right now i have a freakin boat load of monkeys on my back. And at the moment i am seeking help for my monkeys so i will learn to deal with those darn monkeys. I want these monkeys to leave me alone, or i want the right tools to learning how to cope with those monkeys in a safe and proper way. My monkeys may have just made me lose the best part of my life.

Or maybe it wasn't anything you or your monkeys did.
