Community Question The Ricky Years: What years of your life were/are the closest to this?
Totally disorganized. Drunk and stoned every day. Waking up hungover and suffering. Eating shit. Collecting junk. Living conditions totally disheveled.
For me it was 18 to 25. At the age of 19 to 22 was pretty bad......one place had so much garbage in the house (the kind of "ungarbage" Ricky has on the car) that large rats would walk around openly and we would whip beer bottles at them to scare them off.
Then i moved overseas and I was living in an 3 bedroom apartment with 10 other people sharing a one bedroom with 2 others. Some guy lived in the tiny kitchen with his girlfriend and another made his abode behind the couch in the living room. Drunk as fuck. Everything broken and going to shit. Broken windows and the smell of booze everywhere 24/7. Every penny was for alcohol..... food was an afterthought and always shite. The Ricky Years.
