Colosto-me some wine-O

So...it's been a while, but I'm back for a minute.  I wasn't posting anything because I kept wanting my blog to be something substantial and awe-inspiring.  Then, I stepped down from my kushy mattress and onto the cold wooden floor with my flat feet.  I look down at the trailer toe nail polish chipped away and thought....It's  a friggin' blog.  It can be about nothing or everything.  Back to that later.  For now I wish to share a cautionary tale of alcohol intake and dreams of Lent inspired sobriety...

Last night were the famed, Academy Awards, aka, The Oscars.  Of course my home-slice Emmalou and I were going to be watching.  Her apartment, because as of now I still have no t.v. at my place.  On Friday we bought a box of world renowned Chardonnay by Franzia.  I'm sure you're thinking, Franzia, that sounds expensive.  Well, my friends, you couldn't be more wrong!!!!  The genius in box o'wine, aside from it being the urostomy bag o'wine, is the price.  Only $13.99 for three bottles worth of wine.  And yup, you guessed it, Emmalou and I drank at least 3 liters last night. 

Now, before you throw up the way I did at approximately midnight, let me reassure you that as disgusting as it sounds, it felt good going down.  Just not coming up!!!!    Sorry to be gross.  Not everything in life can be pretty smells and fanciful dreams.  Sometimes it's just slob-kabob hangovers and super sloppy drinkfests!  And if this is the first place for you to realize that, then I've done my duty for the day. 

I'd love to tell you that I learned a great lesson and that I will never drink that much again.  I'm sure I won't for a while, but like Justin Bieber says, Never say never! However, not all hope is lost.  My Lent begins Monday, March 7th and in addition to going vegan I will not be drinking any alcohol.  Sad yes, good for the health of my liver, double yes!!! 

Footnote:  Like I said, I don't believe a blog has to be about any one subject.  For me personally, it's about writing and trying to improve my writing.  Sure, this blog isn't exactly exemplary writing, but the bottom line is it allows me to consider my craft more and work harder on the essays I hope to publish.  That's all for now folks.

Happy drinking!
