Drinkdependence Day

So, it was my birthday on the 30th of June… one year closer to the inevitable age 30.

I had a party on Independence Day… well actually it was the 5th of July here, but if you account for the timezone differences, the party was happening while it was still the 4th of July in the USA, so yeah. =)

Of the 21 people invited, including the 15 who advised they would definitely be attending, only about 10 people showed up. Of those, four left early to attend other parties. The rest of us, whilst small in number, had a great time. I got absolutely plastered. I drank four bottles of Jack Daniels and cola, four cans of Slate Bourbon and cola, and somewhere between six and twelve tequila slammers – believe me, you lose count after the first few. I vomited, but it was one of those "Get this poison out of me so I can keep drinking!" pukes, not one of those "I have alcohol poisoning and am now going to spend the remainder of the night feeling like I’m going to die!" pukes. Really not a big deal at all.

It was interesting to note who one’s friends are though. A few assholes who RSVP’ed their attendance and then didn’t even bother to show up or at least call and apologize are now on my shit list. I won’t name any names – not that it would make any difference to you, dear reader, but because I don’t want to dwell on it too much myself – but fuck them, they missed a great night of eating and drinking and fire.

As of Monday though, I’m now cutting back on my excesses. I’m not going to pay money for liquor anymore – if somebody offers me a drink I’ll take it, but no more out of my own pocket. I’m going to stop smoking weed altogether, it’s just a waste of dope on my weird physiology. As for cigarettes, I’ve stopped smoking during the day, until my housemate gets home. After a week of this I’m going to stop smoking at nights too after she’s gone to bed, and after a week of that, I’ll only smoke when she (or somebody else) is smoking. I’ll see how I go like that for a while and then I might just stop smoking altogether again. Cigarettes are just too damned expensive nowadays.

Hopefully the money I save by cleaning myself up a little will make a decent dent in my credit card debts and get my bills and finances back on track a little.

Anyhow, that’s all the news I have. Sorry again that I don’t update more often. I notice some of my old readers don’t even read me – or at least, don’t bother noting at all – anymore. My life is terminally dull, it’s very hard for me to find something worth writing about. =(

Please note and give my life some meaning! =)
