Highballs

Last night I celebrated the new year at my sister and brother in laws house. I kept the drinking to a reasonable level, there is still some jack in my pint bottle that I started the night with. I drank something I call a high ball, which last night was 7UP and jack daniels. I never really got a big swig of jack at one time, I really never did pour much in my glass. I drank from about 9 until 3 and still had some left this morning. I haven't had much of hangover today either. I laid down on a couch at about 4 and tried to sleep until about 8. Then I made it home before ten and slept a little more. Now I just have to start my sobriety streak over again. There won't be any real holidays coming up soon, so I won't feel any pressure to drink.

Two years ago at this party I drank an entire bottle of champagne that I brought after the ball dropped. I bought the bottle and didn't really think it should go to waste after the celebratory toast, so I drank it all in about an hour. Then I threw up and called it a night.

I also got to witness a group of people playing rock band last night. While I can appreciate getting a group of friends together to play a music theme game, I think I would rather spend my time practicing my banjo than playing such a game. I did like the song list and thought the game could be fun.

I also got to see or read the lyrics to radioheads creep last night. I have heard the song before, but maybe I should make that song my anthem or something. Most of the lyrics seemed to apply to me. I am kind of a weirdo to most people and don't really feel I belong anywhere.

I also saw something really weird. One of my sisters friends was engaged to a guy once. He called off the engagement and had a date the next day. He has several DUI's and not a real clean record. She apparently took him back and they were both there together last night. I can't really speak for the conditions of their companionship, but it just doesn't sit right with me. She got dumped by him after he thought he was going to play the field. He managed to get back in her good graces. I really have to wonder why I am not in a relationship when people like that can be.

I have also come to another conclusion. I will probably never have this situation happen, but good planning can't hurt. I don't think I can ever date a girl that considers either one of my brothers an option. Both of them are so much more different than me. They are both really crass and rude at times. They both are more liberal in terms of what they will do or say around a woman. I really don't like being around them some times.

I have also decided that I am going to make an effort to go to the buckeyes bowl game next year. Unless I empty out my saving account for the reasons I have ranked, I will take out the money and go. There are only a couple of scenarios where I would have zero dollars in my account so I wouldn't have to worry about money. The one time I went to a bowl game it was the national championship and I really enjoyed it.
