Been Drinking
I haven't felt like updating lately. I have a whole new slew of s#$@ on my plate, a whole new lifestyle. Its crazy, there is an adjustment period and there's no way around that I guess. It is one reason that I got into this job, just for something new and different. People always ask me why I joined, because I am older. I would give a big speech about it, all the little things that added up to the way it is now, but now I just say it was something to do, because when you boil it down that's all it really was. I feel I can spare you the details and you'll sleep alright. Its really just a job.
When I grow up I want to be married.
They put me on the night shift at work this week, I had mixed feelings. I think I might like it, but I need to adjust my body clock. I'm such an old man I want to go to bed around 10:00 and I start getting groggy and things make less sense to me, but I don't get off until midnight.
I got out early tonight for some inexplicable reason, it was sweet. My first stop was the beer store, and when I got home my neighbor was sitting in the lounge drinking a Wild Turkey and Jack Daniels cocktail out of a humongous mug from Wal-Mart, so I joined him. I stuck to the beer, I'm not the drinking man I used to be.
Among the conversations we had was this pearl of wisdom (or BS) from me:
It was off the cuff and not something I have ever put into words before. It is a sensitive subject and I know to avoid it like I avoid other folk's relationships, religion, and politics in general, but nobody reads this anyway.
<- this section has been deleted on the grounds that my drunk talk was a little to personal for my own comfort. If you missed it, too bad for you.- >
... and this is one of the important things that make me, me.
Goodnight.
