What’s up party people?
Had a great time simply talking to my dear Carmen and Bec at my house yesterday, it flowed very easily as we went from one topic to another, reminiscing about our past, revelling in the current and looking ahead to the future. It might not be considered a fun time for most people my age, but for me it was a very enjoyable way to watch minutes pass by.
Hypothetical scenarios are awesome, it was something we touched upon during our epic conversation, imagining if we had gone to different schools, maybe choose another option when it was presented to us. I think about those sort of things on a regular basis, my mind’s like a dedicated employee, it’s on after hours; overtime.
On a totally different note, I called my sister today as she was supposed to have found out the sex of her child yesterday. What ensued was perhaps the most bizzare, yet funny conversation i have ever had:
Isaac: Sis, PK, you didn’t call me yesterday, did you find out?
Sister: No man, when the doctor was checking, my baby was crossing it’s legs
Isaac: What?
Sister: You heard me, the baby wouldn’t uncross it’s legs, and yeah, doctor couldn’t see
Sounds like it’s going to be a girl, well it sounds like it’s a girl doesn’t it, or perhaps a humble, modest non-junk showing nephew?
Which one will it be? Find out on the 22nd
Anywho, on to the next one:
Blame it on the Alcohol ’09
“Hi, my name is Isaac and i’m an alcoholic.”
That’s what i uttered when it came to introductions in my first Criminology tutorial, I personally thought it was hilarious, so did my tutor and classmates as my line broke the icy tension that accompanies introductions.
Thing is, that line is possibly one of the most untrue lines ever, ranking near Bill Clinton’s: “I did not have sexual affairs with that woman,” and continuing my US President trend, any line George Bush uttered that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
I am not a drinker, every party i attend, i usually field one or two questions about why i’m drinking. I usually respond with a stock answer like “long story” or “i have work tomorrow,” both are true mind you, but man it goes a lot deeper than that.
This is to clear the air.
I don’t drink because my father drinks. I think i’ve mentioned that my parents are the perfect role models due to the fact they do everything i shouldn’t do, well drinking is one of those said things. He gets abusive, he’s a pain to live with but when alcohol is surging through his system, it gets worse. He’s a full grown man, he knows the effect the brown has on him but he loves it, it’s his release. It’s what he’s been taught, my entire family on my father’s side are alcoholics. And not in the “It’s Friday night let’s get plastered” sort of way, more like the “I’m thirsty, pass me that bowl so i can fill ‘er up.”
Perfect role models.
After telling people my reasons, they usually reply with; “Oh, that’s cool man,” or “Wow,” or “Fcuk that, i like drinking.”
Is it hard not drinking when everyone in my demographic is? Not really to be honest, you can’t really miss something you’ve never had, and there’s plenty of delectable drinks that are non-alcoholic that i enjoy on a regular basis anyway.
So that’s why i choose to be sober.
Plus, i get to witness all the stupid things you guys do and have some stories to tell the next day.
It’s win.
Until next time folks! Stay classy!
