Just about every Monday night, I get together with a group of friends & we go out for Pizza after work. Last night when I got up to pay, the guy gets me my drink, always a mix of diet coke & cherry coke. As he hands it to me he says, "I put the cherry on the bottom this time".
I just about crumbled to my knees I was laughing so hard on the inside.
Does he know anything, or was he just imagining that the guy behind me was looking at me in a "strange" way?Current Mood:  amused |

1.) Open and close a bar.
Yes, several times, at 2. The Saloon in Minneapolis on a few occasions (usually a Saturday or Sunday for football) & a bar in Lincoln, NE
2.) Go on a bender.
Again, a few of them. You know the phrase, "I'm not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meeting; I'm just a drunk"...well my friend once said "I'm a professional drinker & I do my job well!"
3.) Drink a fifth of hard liquor, by yourself, in one day.
Refer to the above mentioned friend, we each did one night, in a matter of a few hours, VODKA!
4.) Dance like a fool in front of a large hooting crowd.
In Chicago, Minneapolis, Lincoln NE, Spokane WA, D.C., NYC, San Francisco, etc......Does it count that I used to dance? Yeah, some of them were when I was quite drunk & not getting paid (Minneapolis)!
5.) Spend a night in the drunk tank.
Yeah...pulled over for going 61 in a 55...breathed .084, .09 is the legal limit in MN, but the jerk still took me in...I got off though cuz I was below the limit...still though, I had to go...GRRRRRR
6.) Get drunk on the grave of your hero.
No, & I never will get drunk on my dad's grave either. Now, a historical person that I look up to, well how do you take alcohol into national memorials, monuments, etc? Is it possible?
7.) Buy a crowded bar a round.
Yes, a few times...some when I was sober, some when I wasn't...every now & then I'll get in the mood to be nice to everyone at the bar...lemme tell ya, those nights get to be pretty spendy, but FUN!
8.) Embark on an impromptu road trip.
Let's just say that Dustin in Chicago tells me "As much as you're here, you might as well just move here!"
9.) Get 86’d from a bar.
Nope! They love me too much at the 90s & the Saloon! They've even told me that! (Not that I'm gonna push my luck, I'll not have any of those nights again, thanks to someone's ass chewin)
10.) Extravagantly overtip a bartender.
Yes, on purpose as well! The only mistake was a tip I gave the waitress at the California Cafe one night...right after the new $100 bills came out, I had THREE of them stuck together...she kept asking if I wanted change, I told her no. Later when trying to pay for things at another store, I realized WHY she kept asking that!
11.) Walk up to an attractive stranger way out of your league and buy him or her a drink.
Yeah...he's turned out to be one of my best f-buddies too (after dating for a brief 6 months)
12.) Conspire an afterhours at your favorite bar.
I did it a few times while living in Spokane. Want to do it again, BAD...Chicago or Minneapolis next time!
13.) Make your best friend a perfect martini.
How good of a best friend would I be if I didn't?
14.) Buy, build or steal a home bar.
YUPPERS!
15.) Get carried home by your drinking buddies.
No, but close...I have had to carry others though!
16.) Get drunk with your father.
Anyone ever hear of Silver Dollar, ON...just head norht of there a ways to Sturgeon Lake...it was a Memorial Day fishing trip Dad & I took one year, one of many we took over the years! FUN. We didn't get drunk but it's one of the few times we ever drank together.
17.) Fight a good fight.
Spokane, WA...Dempsey's Brass Rail
Helena, MT...the state fair
18.) Visit the source of your favorite beer, wine or liquor.
Unlike Norm from "Cheers", no, I've never visited much less worked there! What a job to have though!
19.) Drunkenly watch the sun come up with your best boozing buddies and a bottle.
Uh huh, many times...have you ever sat at Abe Lincoln's feet in D.C., drunk, a bottle between you, & watch the sunrise, then return later that evening to see the sunset.
20.) Sit in on an A.A. meeting.
Uh, no...again, alcoholics go to meeting, I'm just a drunk! HAHA
21.) Hit a dozen bars in one night.
Besides my 21st birthday? YES
22.) Try at least one hundred different drinks.
I've never kept track, but I highly doubt I've tried that many different drinks.
23.) Get loaded in the land of your forefathers.
Well, I'm one of those "Heinz 57 muts" a:)Germany, yes b:)France, yes c:)Ireland, yes; that's it.
24.) Juice on the job.
OH YEAH, in fact just this past Friday at lunch! It was the start of a mighty good weekend!
25.) Split a magnum of expensive champagne with your true love.
NOPE! But we've gone out to parties or the bar & did both get loaded. Oh, yeah, wait, there was that one time...damn how the memory gets blogged down after having so much liqour!
26.) Give a hobo twenty bucks.
Never $20, NO WAY! But I have given a dollar here & there when drunk.
27.) Get loaded and tell your boss exactly how you feel.
Yes, & his answer..."Doug, that's really more than I wanted to know."
28.) Send a friend a bottle of good liquor.
No but a few times I've shown up at the door unannounced & we split it.
29.) Eat a pickled egg from the big jar.
YUCK no way!
30.) Go on a fishing trip with your pals.
Many, many, many times...from Canada, to Alaska, to Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, California, Mexico, Indiana, Texas, Florida...just to name a couple...hey I love to fish!
31.) Eat the worm.
You mean there' really is a worm at the bottom of the bottle...I've never seen it! And I've tipped up & emptied my share of tequila bottles.
32.) Learn at least one traditional drinking song.
At Kieren's in Minneapolis
33.) Steal some booze.
It only served the bartender right to walk away from the bar.
34.) Spend half a paycheck on a single bottle of liquor.
No. I wouldn't do that, there's better things to spend it on!
35.) Start your long-awaited and very personal autobiography: Me and the Booze: A Love Story.
Have you heard Brad Paisley's "Alcohol"? Yeah, someone wrote that about me!
36.) Try absinthe.
Uh, no.
37.) Watch the movie Barfly with five of your closest friends.
No, but we did get drunk enough once where we watched "Crybaby"
38.) Work at least a week as a bartender.
Yeah, I have.
39.) Make your own beer, wine or moonshine.
I've made my own beer, it was NASTY! MOONSHINE!? NO WAY!
40.) Go to your place of worship loaded.
Honestly, TWICE! The second time was the best cuz the pastor's granddaughter & I made plans to meet at church the morning after the first time we ever ran in to each other at a gay bar!

Any of you MN guys thinking of goin out this weekend?Current Mood:  contemplative |

Okay, I was deciding whether I was gonna post this or not. Last night, for no reason whatsoever, this memory came back to me & it's funny as all get out. But until ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) user whereinchicago user commented on one of my comments, I decided I should.
Last year I met up with a buddy of mine at The American in St. Paul. We had some beers & shot some pool. I had always thought this guy really hot but never did anything because he was dating someone else. Through the course of the afternoon, I found out that they were no longer dating, but still living together. So, at the end, we left, I went back to his place.
As we're lying in bed talking, I hear the door shut & hear footsteps on the stairs. My friend just says, "That's my boyfriend, he's home". I just lay there, looking at him, not saying anything, back to the door.
Next I know, the door opens & the lights come on. I then hear, "Excuse me, but who are you & why are you lying in bed naked with my boyfriend?"
Mind you I'm rather drunk so I just turn around, smile, stick my hand out & say, "Hi, I'm Doug; nice to meet you."
I got out of bed, got dressed, & the boyfriend & I then proceed to go upstairs & talk for about half an hour before I leave.
To me, the whole thing was rather hillarious! I have never been in that kind of situation & to this day I just laugh when I think about it.

Okay, I am really torn in two different directions regarding the sale of the control of 6 of our US ports to DT, a state owned company in the UAE.
First, I am opposed to this but at the same time I support it. Why?
I am opposed to this sale because, as "profilistic" as it may sound or seem, DT is a state owned company located in the Middle East. The country is known for harboring terrorists. Yes, it is true that they will only be controlling these ports as far as sales are concerned & that we as the US will still be controlling the shipping, by way of our Coast Guard & customs are concerned, yet, is it not possible, with only about 5% of the cargo ever actually been checked, that something could not be slipped in?
Many, and I included, who oppose this sale, the biggest opposition expressed is simply this: we corralate the Middle East countries with the Islamic movement & corellate the Islamic movement with terrorism & thereby drawing a conclusion that ALL Mid East countries are involved in terrorism.
And that brings up the reason why I am in support of it. The same thing happened in World War 2. We profiled and segregated, in fact rounded up the Japanese in this country, & imprisoned them in camps.
It has been called one of the greatest mistakes we made in this country...just thinking that because the nation of Japan attacked us, that ALL Japanese would in turn attack us.
How different is that from the way many are thinking now? So two of the 9/11 terrorists came from the UAE. Does that make everyone from that country a terrorist? If so, then wouldn't we all in turn be classified as terrorists as well...when looking at Timothy McVeigh, etc? No government has a total control over it's people, regulating EVERYTHING that they do. Yeah, there were two bad apples; yes there may be more, but can we regulate that? NO!
Secondly, like President Bush has said, what kind of example would it set if we turned them away & denied them the right to this sale based solely on the originating country of this company? Over 30% of US ports or foreign controlled. We didn't make that decision based on their background of a couple of terrorists coming from there. Why start now?
So yeah, I'm torn. But overall, I would say "YES". We cannot start profiling anyone & everyone in this country or those who want to do business here solely based on where they are & who lives there. A lesson that this administration is finally beginning to learn (i.e. The Patriot Act).

I am having such a WONDERFUL day today. Don't ask why cuz I don't have the foggiest idea why! It's just one of those days. Despite the fact that I got to work 2 minutes late (hey, it only took me 20 min to get here instead of 30!), I've been in a good mood all day.

The other day I started thinking & reminiscing about a lost love. Thinking about why I didn't make the move sooner when I had the chance. Thinking about the nights & weeks we spent together, me basically living with him. Makes me kinda glad actually. Glad that it didn't happen.
Who's to say what would have happened if it would have happened. That last morning we spent together played thru my mind over & over this past weekend. And I just smiled. Smiled because of what we had & what we shared. Smiled from the things I learned about myself when with him.
I'll not ever have him back, nor do I actually want to either. And for me to say that is a huge load off my shoulders. I'm happy without him & he helped me to be that way. Yes, I'll always love him. Yes, I'll always have a special place reserved in my heart for him. Yes, he'll always be someone I hold as a dear friend, regardless of how little we talk anymore. But he's always there & I know that & that's all that matters!

Such a wonderful Monday. Had the kiddies this weekend :)
Just wish I had them more often.
Anyone else as bored on this day as I am? I have a lot of work to do yes, just completely BORED! Trying to get my plans & reservations made for going to Indianapolis in April. Already going to Chicago next month for St. Patty's Day, should be some fun there!
Then it's the trip to Indy & no more trips until Chicago Pride first weekend of July. Hmmm, I'll have to think of at least one more trip before then, any help?

But what about this one?

All for $384? OMG!
That's right! They were giving away free raffle tickets in order to win a lottery worth $384! And 73 people were killed in a stampede.
Where am I going?
Well, it's your turn to dream, & dream BIG! What would you do with $384? Okay, I'm kidding...how about $365 MILLION? That's what I said. The Powerball lottery drawing for tomorrow night is $365 million.
What would I do? First, pay off my bills, my mom's bills, my brother's & sister's bills, grandma's bills, give them all some extra money (hey, I'd even pay off my ex-wife's bills too) give her some money, give her parents & grandma some as well...then I'd buy a house, etc etc, set up a trust fund for each of my kids, & then invest.
I'd take a few trips.
I'd buy me some toys.
I'd take care of a few good friends.
Etc
Etc
Etc
So, what would you do with your $365 million?
Dream big folks!

Ok, earlier this morning I posted about waking up with that FEELING this morning. Well, as figured, the day has progressed in such a manner that I've been getting very little accomplished...well not so much that I'm getting hardly anything done (no pun on words there) just that it's taking me a long time to get work done & I'm getting completely and totally frustrated over it all.
And to top it all off, I can't get the posting doubleedge made out of my mind either! Yeah, that's one HOT Bulgarian!
But on to this feeling. I am so horny & I don't know why! It's not as though I went out or anything like that last night. GOD!!!! I'm goin nuts over it too. So after taking my shower this morning which didn't accomplish much more than just getting clean (HEHE) I put on a pair of my "horny underwear" on (I do have pics too...well not of this morning, but of me in them).
So now I sit at work & it's a good thing too because well, yeah...I'm glad I wore underwear cuz otherwise it would be completely visible upon standing up!
Oh well, back to work & hoping someone will cum along to save me (OOPS, did I just say that?)!

Yeah, some meetings at work are just POINTLESS; the only good they do anyone is giving us a nice little nap. We just had a meeting with some of our graphic artists, telling us some of the differences in some of the art file types, etc they use & don't use & reasons why or why not! Yeah, that was boring just saying it; try sitting thru it once! YOWZERS
However, despite my tiredness today, I've been amazed at myself on the amount of work I've gotten accomplished. The only thing that could make any of it any better is if there were some hot guys that I could work with!
Talk about excitement!!!!!!!

| » Hunger & Homelessness |
|---|
I just read an article from CNN's website regarding Tanzania's plea to the UN for an estimated "100,000 metric tons of food aid" so that they can feed roughly 3.7 million people who are going hungry. I will not try to say that it isn't important for every country to support this aid & to give what they can. They should. What I am questioning though, is what about our own people here who are hungry & homeless. According to a survey done in 1998 of 30 US city mayors, hunger & homelessness are up in this country (http://www.usmayors.org/uscm/homeless/hhsummary.html).
Here in Minnesota, on the night of October 23, 2003, there were "7,811" people who were homeless, in transitional housing, or in shelters. Adding other factors & individuals, brought that total to somewhere between 8,800 & 8,900 people, just for that one night! (http://www.gmhf.com/Home/reports/Wilder_HomelessMN2-04.pdf)
How many of those above people went hungry, I did not read the article completely to find out.
What I did discover though, is that while we have millions of people who are going hungry in our own country, we instead reach out & help others. Again, it's good that we are helping others; we are the US, it IS our responsibility & duty to help those in need. We have the ability so we should not hold back. Yet at the same time, let us not forget about those here on our own soil: let's feed them & get somewhere to live (afterall, isn't Habitat for Humanity's goal to get them homes?)!

Have I been completely mistaken about the US being totally frustrated, aggravated, anxious, worried, etc, etc about Iran's nuclear buildup & processes? Are we not wanting them to stop their nuclear ambitions & quit producing? Then why in the world are we wanting to give Iran $75 million? Yes, the excuse is that it is earmarked for educational & other reasons such as that. Yes, they (Condi Rice, et all) are telling us that this money is going to go to private organizations. Do they really believe that this money will not be filtered to the Iranian government thru these companies & organizations?
Come on...if we want them to quit researching & producing nuclear energy etc, then let's not give them any money to help them further that!

So you've been asking me if I've been on lately...hasn't that answer been painfully obvious? HEHE (love ya). So yeah, I'm here at work, my second day in a new job, working with a bunch of women. They're all good though, it's fun. It took me forever and a day to find a job that I actually wanted but hey, I've got it now. What more could I ask for (other than the $300+ million Powerball tomorrow night)?
So many things have happened since I last came to LJ...for instance, we get to watch some really HOT guys strut their stuff on the slopes in Italy right now (YOWZERS!) Can Bode get any better looking? And what about Chad Hedrick? http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/5056822/detail.html
Jeremy Bloom? http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/5058547/detail.html
God, I could keep up with these all day...........but hey, we can't cut out Seth Wescott either!
http://www.nbcolympics.com/athletes/5058608/detail.html
See, ya'll were hoping that I'd put down some more personal things on here. But really, there isn't anything to tell or say. I've been living a pretty home-body life lately. No, that doesn't mean I've gotten myself a husband or anything like that...far from it! I'm as single as single can be & loving it...especially TODAY! I mean why wouldn't you want to be single on Valentine's Day? Think of all the money you get to save!?
Kidding, it's this day that I actually would like to have one, more than any other day. Someone to share it with again; afterall I have been single for going on 3 years now (catch your breath guys, no biggy). But I enjoy it all.
So, that's it in a nutshell...NOTHING has been happening...other than my frequent trips to Chicago on a
periodic Wednesday night here & there just to hang with some friends, have some fun at the bars, dance my ass off, get drunk, etc etc etc.
SEE YA
