I remember when I was 16... behind the wheel without a care in the world. Speeding down the highway, flying by stores, and careening past parked cars with as many friends as I could pile into the seats. And every single one of us beer in hand or resting in the drink holders. Later, when I finally got my driver's license, I was always complaining about the high price of insurance for young drivers.
I want to meet Tom, my numero uno amigo here on MySpace. Sadly, I keep sending him messages but they never say ‘read’. If I was unstable, I’d have a complex. I gather my friends around the computer and pretend Tom and I hang out together. I regal them with tall tales of our exploits, involving drunken, rainy nights in Tijuana. Eating tacos and perusing various strip clubs until 7 AM, reeking of a mixture of stale cigarettes and something I haven’t quite figured out yet. Thanks, Tom, for being the coolest friend I’ve never talked to!
Alcohol, like illegal drugs, comes in many different types, ranging from beer with the lowest alcohol proof to Everclear with the highest. Although the immediate harm may not be quite as great compared to other drugs, alcohol still involves risks, including violent behavior, accidents, blackouts, and personality changes. Add some great music and you've got the majority of my experiences.
So I'm at work today and I see this guy unpacking his truck for a delivery to the suite next to ours. He drops a package from his dolly, bends to retrieve it, and I notice he's not wearing any underwear. His crack is totally making eye contact with me, a sideways kinda grin if you will, and after around 5 seconds I realize I'm staring. Most like a solar eclipse or auto accident type of stare but I gazed at dude's @$$ for much longer than I needed. I don't actually have a point to this story or a plausable reason why I felt compelled to share this happenstance except that crack apparently reached me on some level. Second hand smoke is affecting my brain...
This has entertained and enslaved us. A tool to propel us into fantastic, exciting realms and make us dream and hope for the perfect conclusion. I prefer reality... Also I enjoy Smallville on the WB.
I used to read alot. My attention span is waining. I can nearly finish a comic book in one sitting. If it's not a special double sized issue or something and I had a good night's sleep the night before... What was the question? What were we talking about?
My biggest hero is my ex-girlfriend, Danielle. No, really i'm serious. She is the strongest person I know and I have the utmost respect her. The battle I fought to keep her was a lost cause but I'll never regret our meaningful moments. I've got plenty of demons. There are so many things I've failed at as a person. But my relationship with her helped me be more than I was.
