It's that time again. Sitting here with a bottle of Jose tonight, Turkey's all gone. And what's on my mind tonight.................Nothing, blissful nothingness. It's partially why I drink, calms the mind, clears it of all the goings on. Alcohol is a great equalizer, better than mister Colt's pistol. Lowers ones inhibitions and allows one to say and do what one really wants to do. People want a world of truth, where no one lies and everything is laid upon the table, these same people mostly hate drunks and people of the drinking culture and bar society. You would figure they would be natural allies. Drinkers and drunks are the truest and most honest people you can meet. They won't lie or hold anything back. They can't, they have no inhibitions, it has been numbed like an anesthetic. But what they truly seek to say and do is against the social norm. It is depraved and carnal. It is the rawest form of animal instinct, feed, fight and fuck. This is what it does to us, some have tendencies toward more than one urge than the other, angry drunks like to fight, horny drunks will sleep with what is ever out there and hungry drunks will eat anything regardless of taste almost. So what do you make of people who maintain a woeful stigma around drinking? They simply seek to repress their truest desire in order to conform to someone else’s expectations. They aren’t being true to themselves, I know this from first hand experience, I have seen the calmest and pacifist person pick a fight with the biggest S.O.B. in the bar and lose, but be happy about it. I have seen a prudish marriage oriented woman turn into a sex fiend with no end(Still is to this day, and regrets she waited so long) and the healthiest, nutrition oriented woman break down and eat a Monster cheeseburger with all the toppings and bacon. How you may ask, have I seen this if they were so set upon their ways? I will not lie, unlike then when I did. I used subterfuge and deceit to introduce the drink slowly to them. It was wrong and it was despicable, but so was denying themselves what they really wanted. I admitted it to them after and none has ever hated me for it. The simple truth is that some hide who they are, some follow trend and culture, and the others, the truly happy ones………….don’t give a flying fuck. So ask yourself two questions………Are you happy?..................Are you being true to yourself? Then look at your friends and ask the same question. Will they be at your side forever? Well, I’m done for now. Read, Enjoy, then join me at the bar for some drinks………………………
