Been a while since I've posted (again). Had a cousin visit from Ireland. Took him and his gf on a tour of NYC and Philly. Was weird since last time I saw him was around this time in 97. Fun times though.
Got my bicycle repaired and I've been riding it lately. I've definitely let myself get out of shape over the last few months. But it felt good to be excercising again, this time for fun. Going to ride around Manhattan and Philly one of these weeks.
In other news, I'm not drunk baby sitting again. At least not with the group that I have been lately. "Let's hang out" has become synonymous with "Want to babysit all of us while we race to see who can reach gibbering idiocacy first and not pass out." I've started recognizing the warning signs of them being at that critical mass point. So I've told them that when I see those warning flares, I'm out.
Call me a dick, a shitty friend, or whatever else. But it's a repeated course of action that has lead to stupidity on their part. I've addressed it with them, so they can expect it. I like hanging out with the relaxed Dr. Jekyll, not the drunken belligerent aggressively assaulting Mr. Hyde.
And yes, I'm aware that I drink as well. I've been drunk also. I drink because I enjoy the drink itself. I don't enjoy being drunk or all that it entails. So yeah, don't try pulling that card on me. I've been drunk often enough that I know when to slow the throttle way back and when to quit. And by quitting isn't because all the booze is gone.
Fuck it, it's almost Friday. Happy weekend folks.
