Ugh. A friend of mine told me this awhile back. We were getting trashed downtown and I noticed he wasn't. It wasn't permitted in his diet. I asked him when when somebody was going to end his empty husk of a life. I'm sorry, I know there are bad sides to booze, but who gives a shit because it's a necessary tool in life and besides drunks are funny! Parties need less designated drivers and more designated drinkers. A guy to throw the lamp shade over his head, get pants-around-the-ankles smashed and get shit going. If somebody told me to stop drinking for the sake of a diet, I would find another diet. Period. Going out sober sucks. I'm not as fun sober. I would never dump a sand bucket full of straws over a buddy's head while he's hitting up the hottest girl in the bar with a clear mind. That's why the Irish invented whiskey. The also invented thick, uncomftorable sweaters but we'll talk about that later.
(not that anyone really cares, but I'm going to say it anyway) I have a calorie limit for the day that I stick to strictly. My weight loss goal date is Christmas. I look forward to surprising my family who I won't have seen since March. When I reach maintenance I can easily get back to drinking every now and then with no problem but I can hold off for a few months to reach my goals.
in the words of Jon Pinette "I've been putting on weight for the summer to get a big tan, so when I go to the beach people say 'my god look at the size of that tan on that man'" as for organic food. I liked bullshit looking and eating healthier is great, being a fucking retard just pisses me off. You know that guy isn't actually the father right?
So I have this bridge kicking around I've been meaning to get rid of - are you interested in it? Secondarily, Dutch movie theatres not only really DO sell beer as per Pulp Fiction, they have a break halfway through the film to allow you to drink yet more beer. Now that's a country with its priorities straight.
Well, the girlfriend didn't want to play penis any longer and has passed out next to me. I am nowhere near sleep and don't know what to do with myself. Help me, TiB, you're my only hope.
Vegas by a mile. Conferences in a land known for debauchery are amazing. The bar scene in DC is overrated at best and far to filled with pontificating Capitol Hill knobslobbers. Vegas there is a good chance you end up at club filled with beautiful people drinking way too much with strangers you've known for 2 hours from the conference. DC there is a good chance you end up in a bar cornered by a lobbyist telling you how things work in the Capitol and practicing pitches on you all whille humble bragging, ineffectively, about almost every topic. My roommate from college lives in Arlington and another friend is a high powered lobbyist who makes FAR more at 27 than most people should and while I don't despise DC, going out with both of them, in 2 different circles, makes me glad I dont live there or visit often.
I thought the New York young-finance scene was bad, then I went to DC. That shit takes snobbery to a whole new level. But instead of what bank or or portfolio their working on, all you hear in bars is how someone worked or interned for this Congressman or that Senator and like JWags said, it's just people regurgitating their opinions on the body-politik that they heard from their bosses. Plus instead of MBA snobbery, it's a lot of law school snobbery. It's an election year, I would stay far away from DC as the bullshit will be amped up big time.
Up and coherent at 5:15 a.m. Walked the dog three miles. Cleaned up around the apartment a bit. Worked last night, and anyone that lives in Philly knows First Friday is a madhouse. Had a table of three youngins. Carded them, two of them were 22. The third shows me an expired license proving she was 21. I told them I couldn't serve them because expired licenses are no good. Next table sat down. 'I can't believe that girl was bitching outside about being carded. She couldn't believe that you didn't know she was 21.' How the fuck do you not know your license has been expired since June 30?
I guess I see where you're coming from for a person 21 where the license becomes a more intimate object around your birthday that year. Otherwise if they didn't make the expiration on your birthday I would never fucking know when it was up. Hell I always forget to update that little sticker that goes on your car's license plate. Who can remember all these little details in this fast paced world with all that internet porn and such?
.........so you're saying you don't have that? It's very hard for me to comprehend how you guys could pass on an opportunity to eat and drink more during a movie. This is like watching a commercial about poor African kids, thinking "wow, all those things that I take for granted."
Yesterday the high was 106. Today it's 88 and supposed to rain. I do believe I'll go for a run, y'all. I don't understand the novelty of drinking at the movies. If you avoid Tinseltown and Cinemark, there are lots of theaters in the states that serve and have for years.
Im awake and coherent every day around 5:30, my body decided along time ago that I will never sleep in.
