Your Day

I completely stopped drinking alcohol, smoking and doing any kind of drugs for now.
Today was the first time in ages I hung out with people on a weekend while being completely 100% sober. It was still as much fun as always. Perhaps because it was with a few good friends and being in large groups at bars and clubs will still make me miss the buzz. Curious to see how it'll go the next weekends.

My daughter's new salon. Just opened a couple of days ago. I'll be sweeping floors for her someday.

So freaking classy.

Hope you can keep it up, I find i don't need to take drugs or drink in a social setting to have fun with friends i just do it cause i can, outta some sorta f*cked up tradition. Every time i hangout with a friends we always start out sober just having a good time talking and sh*t but after a few hours of that somebody in the group has the bright idea to go get some drinks and then after that we end up bar hopping until eventually we call it a night.

I don't mind doing that but sometimes i wish we could do more activities that don't rely on alcohol and drugs but im sure if i suggest them nobody will care.

I'm not gonna be one of those guys who went 'straight edge' and becomes all preachy. Getting ****ed up with friends is fun. But yeah, I'd also like to be able to do some actual activities with them. At least most of us make music and I actually prefer and am better at jamming when sober.
I doubt I'll still be able to go dancing in clubs though.

I think I might take a nap after my eight-hour-shift at work, but after that it's time for some drunken Starcraft.

Sssh! He's asleep. He'll only get cranky if you wake him. Just close the door quietly and ... I said quietly! NOW look what you've done! Where's the Zep IV album? Someone must know where it is!!!!!!!!!!
