A drunk guy at the bar broke the first rule of male urinal craft and say "Sunday Funday!" to me. It was weird and awkward and I was forced to acknowledge another human while pissing. However, I did manage to tie on a nice buzz on a late brunch date and I'm finishing it off with Tito's and vitamin water. IT'S FUCKING HEALTHY, OKAY?!
So you were like Red. I am going to read your responses in a Morgan Freeman voice from now on, it will make them so much better.
I'm wonderful, how are you? I'm just spending some of the first time to myself in the last six months.
Ugh, who's joshin? If there wasn't a more perfect "ask a..." thread outside of the sex industry then I don't know one. We had a "ask a pizza delivery guy" for fucks sake. Frylock fire the thread up.... So what type of jail was it like? Oz style with doors or Shawshank style with the old school sliding bars? Where you thrown into genpop with all of the other psycho killers or was there separate areas for nonviolent offenders?
Not sure who that was, but on a similar note, what ever happened to Mike Ness? That dude posted all the damn time and hasn't in many months. Not that I miss his terrible spelling. If there were a poster-boy for the misuse of their, there, and they're, he'd be it. He butchered too, two, and to as well.
Odds are certain; I am drinking as I write this. I told the counselors at the substance abuse treatment facility I was sent to that I had no intention of stopping. I was assigned to a really cool counselor who agreed with me, a former Navy man who drinks himself on occasion, and I got to work on some of the other issues I have/had that lead to me drinking excessively and/or using drugs. Neither he nor I believe that 100% sobriety from alcohol is a realistic goal in the culture that we live in, so it is a matter of excercising caution in regards to where/when/how much I drink. One thing is certain: I can't drink and drive anymore, an activity that used to be one of my favorite hobbies.
Holy. Shit. Out of the blue this morning I had these exact thoughts and came pretty much straight to this thread to ask and then I see this post. Seriously.
Jesus people he just changed his avatar, you'd think you'd actually remember the guy's screen name. Just kidding, I dont know. He probably got tired of people telling him how annoying it was that he brought up having a brain tumor in every fucking post and just moved on to another board where he could shill his writing. Or you know got a fucking life.
Know what I love about motorcycling gloves? Reinforced knuckles. If you need to get into a fight with a cager, he's going down. Also, jousting cyclists and pedestrians who get in your way.
I was sent to county jail for a mandatory 10 days for the felony, then was sent to six months in a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility run by the county probation department. I just barely got out of going to state prison, this was a last minute deal that my lawyer was able to make happen. There wasn't anything I didn't expect, because I have pretty good knowledge about correctional facilities (my brother is in federal prison, I have spent time at the county level, and I know/hang out with guys who have done hard time at the state level). The SATF was easy; it would have been great if it weren't for the CO's. They were assholes, but no one you couldn't rise above. It was actually a very revealing experience. I was able to get a psychiatric evaluation (MMPI-II, MIPS, Rorshach, TAT, WAIS-IV). I was able to use my skills of persuasion to get all kinds of things I never would have expected. Am I changed man? I really couldn't tell you, it's too early to tell yet. I really hope so though. I don't want to get in trouble with the law anymore, and I don't want to let alcohol or drugs affect my life in a detrimental way, but I still want to drink. I am drinking right now to see how I handle myself, but I might have to change things (quit entirely) if I can't control it.
Well fuck me, I'm torn here. On one hand, if I'd just got out of a stint in jail, I'd want to get drunk too. On the other more sensible hand, I'd not engage in the activities that got me locked up in the first, or second, or third place. Don't you have a kid? Shouldn't that be reason enough not to drink?
See, I'm drinking at home right now, and I am not going anywhere. If I am going to drink away from home/my shop (which is within easy walking distance from my home), I'll need a designated driver or place to stay, or just not drink very much. I don't know what your drinking habits are, or if you drink at all. I used to never give a shit one way or the other. Do you want to give up alcohol for the rest of your life? You already implied that there are times when you would want to get drunk. I had a habit of drinking heavily (8+ Budweisers a day) and driving agressively everywhere I went in a loud car that attracts attention:
I'm no expert in this (although I haven't been to jail for a DUI so maybe I am) but wouldn't it make more sense to work on the issues that led you to drinking 8+ beers a day and driving after that and then easing back into the drinking thing. Just a thought. edit: I'm assuming it was a DUI from your recent posts, I don't actually know for sure.
Yes, I do drink. However, I've never been in jail because of it. Not once, twice or thrice. I also don't have a child. If I had fucked up enough to warrant jail and rehab, I'd make damn sure I followed through. Not for me, but for my kid. Here's another brilliant idea: Don't drive a white trash car like a shithead. Are you really surprised that you draw attention?
Hey dude... welcome back. Not sure if you had cable in the Big House, but you should check out a new show on Fox called The Good Guys. You might relate a bit.
I hate to stop you from getting the third post in a row, but I have a visualization of my excellent idea:
