Sometimes I just want to drink myself insensible. [View all]

The Japanese believe that getting stinking drunk now and again, instead of being a character flaw, releases evil spirits and cleanses the soul, restoring wa, or harmony.

Mrs. Aristus strongly disapproves of alcohol. So my only chances to get plowed are when she's out of town. It's been a couple of years since that happened. Circumstances at home and in the news right now make me yearn for a chance to get completely lubricated. Don't worry; when it happens, I don't drive anywhere; I just stay home and either post a few drinking threads in the Lounge, or watch my favorite 'drunk-off-my-ass' movies, Blade Runner and Dark City.

I envy people who do a little weed on a regular basis. I love that giddy, lightheaded euphoria that accompanies mind-altering substances.

Anyway, thank you for joining me for this catharsis.

(BTW, I'm sober as a judge right now. Just looking forward to my next drinking night...)
