I got my orange juice carton full of gin and I figure it's like this -
Is it just me or is just about everyone sick right now? Even I had a spout with the crud which is quite amazing. I tend to have a better chance of winning the lotto or banging a playmate before I would ever even begin to get sick. Hopefully a mild strain of bacteria is to blame and not some super human virus that turns all of my vital organs into liquid shit. That would not be good. Then there's always the possibility of an anthrax outbreak. My cold symptoms aren't flu like. Are yours?
My weekend was an intensely invigorating mix of drinking and sleeping - both of which were welcomed amenities after my week long bout with bacteria. Friday night however would usher in the sleeping part of the equation, and leave the coefficient of drinking for the latter part of the two day break. I decided that it was in my immune systems best interest to turn in early and resist the urge to succumb to the Friday night nightlife. I was asleep by 10.
Saturday was my little sister's 21st birthday, and I was invited along for the ride as her and twenty of her sorority sisters hit up the town for the obligatory 21 run. We had a nice dinner before hitting up a spiffy bar called the Ballroom. It was a pretty cool place and they made the strongest Raging Bulls that my lips have ever touched. They were more like Ketel One on the rocks with a splash of Red Bull as a floater.
As for my sister, she stuck to more traditional drinks. Cosmopolitans, kamikaze's, and the ever popular Jägermeister. I was quite impressed with my little sister's knack for liquor. Not sure if massive liquor consumption is a good trait to have or not, but she was able to put away 11 drinks over the course of about three hours. By my book, that's pretty damn good. Especially since there was no puking, no sickness, and no passing out. Talk about a champ.
As for the rest of the girls, well let's just say that I'm still firm in my conviction that the greek system does more damage than good. No disrespect to any of the girls in attendance saturday night, but the more and more I hung out with them, the more and more they were all the same. It was if the social structure of the sorority had conditioned them all the same. They talked the same, laughed the same, sang the same, and a lot of them even danced the same. Talk about vanilla. I don't know about you but when it comes to women I'm definitely not looking for vanilla. You know, the carbon copy female that is like all the rest. I'm looking for the triple fudge ripple mocha almond fudge with caramel, pralines and a generous portion of sprinkles up top if you know what I'm saying. I want uniqueness. Someone that's going to give me a little bit of an intellectual challenge, and who's infinitely secure with all their perfections and imperfections. Someone with a real sense of who they are, and not someone who was given an identity by a social safety net with greek letters as the facade.
Like I said earlier, I'm not picking on sororities here. There are way too many institutions and organizations in this country, and in others, that lump people together and set them up to think the same, walk, talk, and act the same - and ultimately to become the same. The Government, church, and media are just a few I could mention. Millions and millions of blind robots. I'll leave it at that, but remember one thing. The second you question everything that you've been told is not when you no longer believe in anything, it is the time when you begin to believe in everything.
Jumping to a completely unrelated topic, it looks like my friend Merc has spilt the beans with respect to my upcoming travel site. For those of you that don't know, I'm leaving for a few years to travel the world, or substantial parts of it at least. Merc and I are putting together a site for the travel cause, but before that site gets launched, we thought it would be a good idea to put together another site for the exchange of ideas. Kind of like a place where all the blueprints will be kept. Ideas, notions, quips, specs, and mindless brain droppings will all be posted here. So if you'd like to take a look at all the work and ideas that will go into my future site, gtm, feel free to indulge yourself. Your thoughts are also encourage although not required.
