All time low

Oh dear. The eagle has landed, the crips are raiding the liquor store, the fox is in the nest. I have done some things in my travelling days, skydived, bungee jumped, zorbed, stayed up two nights running in airports, eaten other peoples food, you get the picture. I have even done some regrettable things on my travels, like the time we clingfilmed a disabled toilet, the time I ate some guys ice cream and then filled the empty tub with water to disguise the theft, how about 2 days ago when I threw a snowball at some random guy in Laugardalur pool which was a direct hit on the victims temple (I escaped blame and punishment by diving under the waters surface, holding my breath and swimming to the other end of the pool so when he turned round to ascertain the identity of the assailant, he would be left wanting, because there I was, 20 metres away resting on the pool side, looking as innocent as a newborn) or how about the time 2 weeks ago when I walked out of a certain cafe in Reykjavik without paying? However, last night, The V.Man reached an all time low, there are some lines u dont cross, but last night the lines were ever more unclear, how can I put it? Well, mistakes have been made. Last night The V committed a heinous act, an unforgivable cardinal sin. I was in such a rush after work last night to go swimming, I wasnt thinking clearly. All I knew was that my swim shorts were in the shower room (no lock on the door) and I needed them pronto. In I walked, with blatant disregard, straight in on Gosia (female Polish housemate). Door immediatley slammed shut, cue Jim Carrey style crumble to the floor, accompanied by whimper, from Dumb and Dumber after he is robbed by the old lady on a motorised cart. I felt so low, that not even the angels could rescue me from the depths of despair I found myself in. The next time u think it would be funny to walk in on someone who is showering, stop, think, how would u feel if u were in my situation? Let me educate u, do u know what it feels like to be in a vacuous black hole, where u keep on falling and falling and no-one can hear ur screams for help, u just keep plummeting until u finally snap back to reality in the minus 5 conditions here in Reykjavik. Dont ever break the cardinal sin, which has been around since biblical times, "And The Lord said, thou shalt not walk in on a housemate who is in the throes of showering. All ye who who disregard this peril, will be cast into the fiery cauldrons of hell from whence ye came."

I dont think I´ll ever get over taking away that young womans dignity, how could I do this? I cant see anyway out of this, I think the hurt will only subside once I turn myself into the authorities or a correctional facility where rehabilitation will hopefully iron this streak out of me and put me back on the rocky raod to recovery. Talking of Rocky, did u guys see Sly at the Everton game? Well funny. Heed my warning, learn from my mistake, Im a broken man, just like Jason Bourne, but I am fighting to hold onto any soul I have left, whatever is left of me, whatever is left of me, I´m yours..............
