It's Been Awhile

Good song to download: Audioslave's 'Doesn't Remind Me'

And it's been awhile..... since I maaaaade my laaaaast post. Yeah, I know, pretty lame, but BD inspired me to jump back on it, and I may just have a few things to write about.

So St. Paddy's is come and gone. I came to the realization today, after considering how much money I spent on alcohol in three days, that I drink too much. That money could be going to so many better things - one beer at Flanagan's Friday night could have bought me new guitar strings, and I could pick it up and play again. It's probably been about six months since I've even taken it out of its case, and that makes me sad. Guitar, your ass is mine!

So I'm starting a social experiement. Starting today, I'm not drinking a drop of alcohol for one month. Just to see what happens. Will I save money? Will I lose weight? Will women suddenly find me more attractive, or less so? Odds are, it'll be entertaining.

But the weekend was fun. The Blarney Bash in Dublin had some awesome music, with Irish versions of Livin' La Vida Loca and If You Wanna Play Irish Music, You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band. Ah, all those white people gathered in one place, it was enough to make me feel a little queasy. The small cadre of goths walking through the crowd lifted my spirits, however. As I told Garth, they're pissed off because their music sucks.

Friday night I ended up sleeping on an old friend's floor, surrounded by old friends, as we watched a documentary on the making of Deepthroat, narrated by Dennis Hopper of all people. Have you ever tried to watch a sex documentary after drinking for 12 straight hours? Yeah, me neither. I fear I may have alienated Alice's gentle friend, however, and the rest of the evening was inundated with bad vibrations.

So things have been very static otherwise. Stay tuned, and I'll fill you in on how I may actually be involved in a court case, and it doesn't even have anything to do with my job. Seriously. Oh yeah, and I'll keep y'all updated on the prohibition thing as well.

Excelsior!

Here's the latest. So far Brody has been crushing all opposition, let's see a little spirit here, people.

Okay, I know it’s been awhile since my last post. I offer no apologies, let’s accept the fact that I’m neglectful, and go on from there. Alright, peachy.

An interesting option was tossed my way this weekend. As I was enjoying a band at our local biker bar, my old college roommate, who is now a Marine, called me up and asked me if I wanted to get in on the ground floor of a new business idea of his.

He wants us to be Porn Kings.

That’s right, when Claytdog gets out of the Marines, he wants me and several of our other friends to join him in creating a pornography empire. I didn’t know what to say. The thought of all that untaxed income spoke to me, I have to tell you. But is that really the kind of person I want to be? A middle-aged, balding creep with a beer gut, trying to get college girls to perform lewd acts on camera for cash?

I better stop, I’m starting to talk myself into it.

But really, I think Claytdog was just a little drunk at the time, but if there’s anyone I know who would try to go through with this, it’s him. After all, the reason he is in the Marines ultimately stems from a night he got drunk and e-mailed a military recruiter. He almost literally woke up from a night of drinking to discover he’d joined the Marines.

On other fronts, things remain quiet. Things are starting to develop into a pattern at the job, money is still tight, and I still spend almost every waking hour of free time playing Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Kill them dark Jedi, Merlin!

I’m looking for input on the whole porn thing. Do any of you four readers have any connections to the industry, and if so, could you tell me what it’s like? To pass on to Claytdog, of course....
